He said he uses bg80 at 15kg's. (this is after his switch to yonex). I see he has moved to the VT80 etune aswell instead of the VTZFII
Jorgensen uses bg80 at 34lbs. I saw that at the stringers booth when I was at the all England's last week. I'll update with a photo when I'm on the computer.
I saw in a match between Taufik and LCW, he (Taufik) broke the string 3 times in a match and they needed to be restrung immediately because he was running out of the rackets. Anybody knows what is the tension for his racket?
This is the list I've compiled from the photos I've taken while I was browsing the Yonex stringing section on the Wednesday at the All Englands.
Note that some players have different rackets (Jorgensen, Mogensen, Zurwonne) and Zurwonne has different tensions on different models of rackets too.
Late to the party, but here's Victor's data. Taipei players used 800; all other rackets came with sets.
On finals day I was talking to one of the stringers who was doing Boe's racket at 34x36 PS (I saw the setting on his machine).
I did not pay particular attention to all the racket codes. You cant see most of them anyways since it is gripped over by most players anyways. However, I did spot some SP codes on some rackets. For example, Raj Ouseph of England plays with a 3UG4 NR900 with SP on the shaft and IP on the cone with a PBSI logo on.
This was discussed so much that mods had to remove off topic posts on multiple occasions, but most of us here on BC believed that Ahsan used another racket that was painted as a FB. Not sure if it was ever confirmed, but his short use of the NR900 during its release is evidence against that.
Not sure about Ahsan's, but Mogensen's was confirmed to be a painted ZForce. With Ahsan favoring head-lights anyway, I find it possible that he may have been using a 'Pro-version' (a bit heavier for increased durability) of the FB (the usual version will not handle anything beyond 26lbs well, and even that is risky for powerful players).
Here we go for Korean Lee Yong Dae's 31/33 lbs.. Stringing did by Victory Sports Enterprise shop stringer (I think mybe shop owner), the shop located at ChaiLeng park, Penang, Malaysia. Anybody ever went there before must recognized this guy...
