    Any one with half a brain about stringing would know that's a blatant lie lol.

    I'm sorry if we don't believe the marketing hype and ******** like you do Mike. It is after all marketing. And before you go all off on your "trolling", no one is slamming brands here. It just is what it is.

    Well there's you and Mark who's dwelling with repainted rumor but couldn't provide any pics unlike Chengsan Kaki.

    There's Maklike who thinks he knows better than BWF, Forbes, or Yahoo about player's earning.

    There's a self claim "advanced" coach who teaches "advanced" moves.

    Pretty much sums up the Victor teams, you guys a really good at making jokes and always crack me up :D

    I think let's leave it to me and everyone to who they want to trust.

    To me, seeing is believing and that's simply it. :)

    Can you remove the grommet strips on the zf2? What does it look like underneath? I'm hesitant to try it on mine. It could just be they want the balance point higher up, so they removed the bottom sets.

    Yes you can. You can do it for the top too and just replace it with normal grommets. They're all standard single and shared hole sizes after all.

    Then that's what I guessed they've done. How much does each set weigh? Does Chengsan have a 12 o'clock shot?

    With all the evidence for custom YY and Victor rackets I'm wondering if the CHN national team is using the Li-Ning rackets you can buy in the shops...

    There's the rare occasional CP models that float around.

    Really? I thought almost all of the players are using the old gen rackets.

    N50/55/90 and their -III counterparts. Can't be much more specific since I don't really pay attention to LN.

    After plowing through this thread for info on racket, I keep reading page after page about income :D . But yeah Saina has huge sponsorship deals in India (it helps to have little competition and having better looks than the other girl ;) ) Commonwealth Gold medal is a pretty big deal there I suppose and an Olympic medal ...

    @demolid, some people here thinks their words are mightier than all available facts or stats, trying to get me to buy utter cr*p but I'm already having huge trust issues with anything from the Victor side so it's just whateverrr haha

    http://bwfbadminton.org/news_item.aspx?id=97960

    that article and a few other press releases sums up Saina's lucrative endorsements and corporate deals in India hence she's in the top 3 of the rich list ^^

    Seriously, you have got to be the worst and dumbest shill and butt-licker on the planet. HOW MANY TIMES do you have to be told that international sports stars don't have to tell anyone what they earn. There's only 3 people who know how much they really earn - themselves, their accountant, and the tax office. Everything is just a guess. Everything you link has ESTIMATED written before the figure.

    DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT 'ESTIMATED' MEANS?

    Why the fück don't you understand this? Is there something wrong with you? I mean, by all means if you have a learning disability, let us know so we can be more accommodating, but this is pretty basic sh!t, and you're STILL banging on about it.
