Not sure where I should post this and started a new thread instead. Here's a video on Victor's latest racquets: BS12, SW37, X80 and Spiral 22 with comments from the sponsored players and yes English subtitles [video]http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjQ1ODg4NzYw.html[/video] Lets see if LYD, NTM and the Taiwanese MD players will switch to the X80, Spiral 22, BS12 and SW37 respectively.
Good find as usual ! Not sure about LYD switching to another model as he seems very loyal and faithful to the BS09. Also, I heard the Korean team is going to switch to Li Ning in June so may not see him switching now.
Yes, I though I heard it was Yonex but someone told me it is Li Ning. Anyway, it seems that maybe they are going to switch but to which brand, still no idea. I saw that Boonsak switch to using Li Ning instead of Kumpoo. So to those who think just because a professional player uses a certain brand means that brand is good, it couldn't be further from the truth. End of the day, it is about how attractive the sponsorship deal is.
Okay, let's say the sponsorship deal is great but the requirement is to do the actual switch (not painted over racquets), what then if the players suffers because he/she can't play with it? On the other hand, if the new company agrees to the player's request to use his/her usual racquet but painted over, it would be unwise (though) for the sponsoring company to pay big bucks while spectators and bloggers write about how this/that player is still holding his usual (brand of) racquet (cosmetically altered).
