    I personally like the side with no advertising to be on top. I don't know exactly why, but it just makes me feel comfortable. I also grip my racquet in a way so that the non-advertising side is on top too. I guess I have OCD.

    Did Kevin Sanjaya changed racket again to the Astrox 77 (Blue) ? Seen him in multiple recent photos in Pelatnas with it, even playing with it

    Well he's just holding it, view videos of him using it are on instagram of their fanpage. But today I saw him back using the Arcsaber 11 again, so maybe he was just testing the Astrox 88 S

    I wonder will Yonex ever produce a double racket faster than Jetspeed 10. Outside rumours and also coaches say Jetspeed 10 is the fastest racket in term of swing speed and swift.

    The Flashboost was faster, but there's a limit to what's still useful and what's a flyswatter....Nanorays should be in the same ball park though

    Haha by now if you've seen enough of his posts you'd realise he lives in his own orb, disseminating info as and when on his own time own target, doesn't check if anywhere else mentions it first, his info are sometimes way late to the party, sometimes baseless, rarely but there definitely is; on time and on point.

    I'll tell you this: he peaked in his form back in 2013-14, when Ahsan was making it rain using an ARC11 painted as an ARCFB and he was asking repeatedly everywhere else IF getting the 5u OR F weight FB would make him smash like Ahsan. When LYD constantly won SS with YYS, he declared the BS12 blue (specifically not grey, mind you) the best doubles racquet ever.

    Back then when I was selling a racquet and I put my number out on BC, he whatsapped me and within 5 lines went from negotiating the price to "friend making" mode, asking whats my current frame, current string/tension and if i liked BG65 and who's my favorite player of all time. I think it was a 5UG5 FB.

    At 6am in the bloody morning.

    Come on guys, let's not be so hard on him. He might not be a user who provides actual new information or content, but he's always friendly and doesn't cause any harm. Live and let live.

    Yes, Lets makes friends and not make enemy .

    BS 12 Blue no doubt, i say previously is the best double racket. Even after release of jetspeed 10, Lee yong dae and Yoo are still using it .

    Sung Ji Hyun and Lee Jang Mi still using BS 12 blue.

    Problem is if he were entertaining it wouldn't be a real issue. But he's gone well beyond that already..

    Like damn it. Don't reply if you don't have a single constructive thing to say.

    Look out for black at the cone and shaft joint. That will tell you what you need to know.
