@Woesi It's for national team indeed. It's official on Yonex.com website: Yonex and China National Badminton Team announce 8-year partnership “It is an honor to start this partnership with the CBA, especially during the 75th anniversary of our company. We, as Yonex, are committed to providing the best products and services to help the national team achieve greatness on the world stage” states Yonex president, Kusaki Hayashida.
Is this an outcome of poor results in the last 4 years using Li Ning? I mean, what could be the reason?. What is the meaning of " Yonex understood what we were thinking". Is he meant "Money" ?
A lot of reasons for poor results of China team but Li Ning products isn't one of them. Sindhu lost 2 WC finals when using yonex and won it using Li Ning, the difference is in Sindhu but not with rackets or shoes. Chinese team doesn't seem to be as hungry as they used to be. Also yones's astrox rackets seem to be very popular with players as well as public.
