not really, the fastest speed occur right off the racket stringbed. So, fastest speed represent the fastest racket swing speed, not really determine by shuttlecock used let me explain. that 414 is done under control (lab) condition, where the camera is zeroed in right on the shuttle exit moment. As for fu's ~332 kph, it is done under field condition and the sensor likely not captured the actual fastest point of the shuttle. i rather trust data from yonex's lab technicans than from some hokky radar mounted some distance from the court, with distortion due to angle, dust and other lighting noises. don't blame everything on the plastic shuttle lah good find on that link tho
Btw... ..our BC boss has chimed in w/his opinion on that Gold color selection.. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75099
Thanks for the link. I think taste is very individual. I usually hate Yonex apparel designs but this upgrade is much more contemporary. And, oh, if the boss is reading this, sorry to say I disagree with you; I find the gold works for me.
Nice shirts and it is good to see a little competition between Yonex and Li Ning. The sleeveless/sleeve design is unusual indeed. I can see for right-handers to be sleeveless on their right arm and to show off their biceps . But what about left-handers? Do they have a reverse design so the player can show off the left biceps . Otherwise, it would really weird. Anyone spot such a picture yet? Also, would the fans want to such a sleeveless/sleeve shirt outside? Maybe they will. I don't know but this is certainly interesting.
Maybe Yonex will decide to produce both side sleeved.. But one sided sleeved was fine.. The design looks awesome. I like all of them.. especially TH... @yankiat maybe they need to start thinking about get rid of their hairy part...^_^ just a suggestion...
the designs' sleeves or sleeveless thing kinda weird for me, but the color combination and the texture looks great....
Wah saw the sleeveless yonex pictures, yonex going to match Li ning team wear.. but is it going to be expensive as Li ning Sing $150... Where is Lin Dan , never see his pictures , he not playing at Japan open ?
Now i expecting Lee chong wei to win this Japan open , since Lin dan not there,, he should have easier time against Bao chun lai , Chen Jin and Chen Long!
I think one of the reasons the big guns are taking part in this JO is because Yonex is launching the new racquet and attire.
