absolutely, wonder if Gosen will catch up too in the future, they have the second most users in my club after Yonex (^o^)
yeap you're right, in the AE Final Takahashi pretty much mythbusted zero care pros have about which sides of Duora they were using ^^ nah if Marin were to be compared to women tennis players, she'll be on the soft side and she pretty much showed the precision of how pros hit on the sweet spot like a World Champion.
Had a quick look at this and had to close it real fast before the folks thought I was watching a porno.
Actually I've just only recently in the past 6 months discovered about Gosen, having been given a chance to try the Gungnir Alpha. It's so good that it's now my go-to racket! Only problem is that it's very hard to find Gosen rackets locally.
You should come check the racket shops here, no shortage of Gosen selection I know one friend using type Z, Gungnir Epsilon, and another girl using Miracle Light Adele2 in my club. One of the local racket shop owner is a Gosen Haribito (which also happens to be an official Yonex stringer and has strung for Japan Open) so he has quite a decent array of Gosens in his shop. I've also used their shuttles NeoFeather Platinum, it feels like playing with high end Yonex shuttles too. I really hope they would go more global like Yonex, as they have quite some avid fans locally.
Surprised nobody brang it up yet, but I've noticed many players using the mysterious yellow Yonex racket during AE 2016. I wonder what it is??
what do the top doubles players use these days? This is such a huge thread and it is hard to find out what I need, can someone rank the top three popular badminton raquets and strings+tension used by the top doubles badminton players these days? Please bear with me as I am posting after more than a decade and urgently need one to upgrade my LiNing (90?) and MP (99) raquets.
This isn't the thread for it, go to racket recommendations. You shouldn't base your racket and tension choice from what the pros are using.
