    Happy New Year!

    I was just wondering, in many games that arent attracting paparazzi, Gade has been playing with the AT700. Does anyone know why?

    My Theory:
    Yonex asked Peter to use the Arc10 for ad purposes (he even made a video) but he still prefers the AT700 therefore he uses it whenever he can.

    All and any ideas/thoghts/answers accepted!

    DONT BE SHY!

    Cheers for 2010,
    Raymond

    Source? :D What "many games"?

    He hasn't played Kendrick once since the Arc10 was released so it couldn't have been the one and only source you have mentioned so far ;).

    Where did you see this ? Also it is rumoured that Lin dan still uses the At700 for freindly games (not in competitions) I read this in BC somewhere

    It could be that they do what they sometimes do in tennis and make the racket to the specs of a AT700 but spray on the arc10 paint

    He's been using ARC10 since it came out.

    Have you even checked the date of that match where he was using the AT700?

    Just my observation, Peter Gade is using Arc 10 now....Peter Gade used MP88 before for a long time (including the 2004 olympic)...he only used Arm 700 for a short period of time...

    correct me if i am wrong

    What's so great about it? :p Do you know how many years that has been on there :D Read further on page 2:

    " In your games and on photos I see you with an MP88. Why you don't change your racket ? And what kind of string and tension do you use on your racket ? (Rui Almeida from Portugal)
    You are right, I am using the MP 88. I think the MP 88 and the old Isometric Slim 10 are some of the best rackets Yonex ever made. But now I am considering to change for a new racket. Maybe I will play the new Nanospeed 8000 from Yonex before the Worlds in Los Angeles in August. I am using the BG 80-string. My stringing tension is between 17-18 kp on normal stringing-machines and 14-15 kp on Babolat professional stringing-machine. "
