definitely a racket of the VT-series if you're looking at the paintjob of the shaft of his new racket.
lets wait for me to call LCW father, maybe he knew... we stay just in the same garden... if we knew it then how ? prepare to burn your left pocket after spending for all your goodies during this new year...hehe
Good to you... I suggest you to have a LCW racket as a present for CNY, since you seem to know his father quite well.. Just belanja LCW father some Rojak & Ais Cendol
Yeah...! it will be like a new racket for a new year. I am so excited for this. But it is not so easy to use one racket per year but I cannot stop myself from buying it. Cheers Guys...!!!
Just called, his father do not know anythings on his son latest progress.. he just said looking forward for LCW to come back home during CNY.. loooooooong time never see his son face to face but only in TV...(
After watching LCW's match today with Tago, don't know why I have a strong feeling that the new VT would be a long handle racket (like 900P & T). I want long shaft ones!!!! :crying:
Only time will tell what is the racket used by our LCW, currently... As long as it plays well, i don't mind buying it..
You have a wonderful year too.. I however think pro badmintonplayers are extremely underpaid!! And shoud be paid far more by companies making gears.. I bet for example YY pay more money to low ranked tennisplayers like Leyton Hewitt and David Nalbandian than they pay LCW, Which is truly disgusting imop!
Sad fact is badminton just doesn't rake in nearly as much cash as tennis, golf, basketball, football etc. I'm sure Yonex will pay LCW more if they can sell yonex badminton shirts, shoes, etc for casual wear like how people wear Nike, Adidas.
Actually, I think YY makes more money from baddy gear and clothing than they do from tennis gear & clothing. So i think some baddy money sort of goes into the sponsoring of low ranked tennis players. The only major reason i can think of for paying tennis pros more is the bigger media coverage (ie more visability of the brand).. But I can't really say I've seen Hewitt on much in the news here lately even though tennis is a very popular sport in Sweden.
Maybe when YY gives LCW a new racket to test out, LCW will give one or two to his father or brothers. Remember, LCW's father gives him a racket on his birthday anniversary during his childhood, so i think, it is quite acceptable if LCW gives his family some rackets His brothers also do like playing badminton for fun...
