You might be right, but I actually held his racquet in my hand and looked over it at the AE. I knew that LCW (and some others) had a repainted ZF so I was looking very closely at CTC's racquet to see if it is a disguised ZF1/2. It had the same rounder frame shape on one side and the sharper blade shape on the other as the DU10 - although possibly to a slightly lesser extent but it was there and it didn't look like a ZF1 to me. I'll see if I find the photo I took of it.
Lin Dan is using a VTZF2 that is painted as a VTLD-F. Check out http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...and-their-racquets.2306/page-193#post-2497221.
Actually it's to do with his shoes.... but because we don't have a thread on gear, just frames, so I stuck it in here.
You mean that theyre high around the ankle? And probably have a thicker cushion around the heel than the standard model?
For more on the shoes, check out http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?threads/lin-dan-2017-collection.169904/.
No. Just the YY logo on the shoes. Remember the CBA clause by Li Ning that he must NOT show any YY logo (but can provide the gear) on the competition floor? Lol. He also flashed off a YY stencil stringbed ONCE and only ONCE during Malaysia Open this year. Thereafter going back to the LD logo.
given that N9II is used by FHF and N7II by ZN, with ZN more of a front court player in this md pair, i would have also thought Setiawan will choose N7II.
