    Most of the players I know using overgrip
    Most of them using Yonex AC102, as far as I know.
    Even for Lining sponsored players .
    Victor sponsored, I dunno.

    I think people would be surprised that majority of doubles pros play 4u especially if the racket is even or head heavy balanced. 3u 88D is for slower rallies like in doubles at lower levels

    That any of you are buying this marketing BS is funny.

    I don't think a lot of them were explicitly told what to do. LCW put 21-28 for the "weight" section which presumably he meant as the tension limits for the racquet himself. Then wrote 3ug4 in the grip size, so the formatting isn't very consistent between players.

    And Sukamuljo put 3u on his racquet and he's probably yonex's most heavily marketed MD player.

    IKR. Like some of these entries don't make sense and clearly it was never explained to them properly what the marketing **** is about.

    My point is some of it probably is true. But I'm surprised Yonex didn't just send them already completed images instead of players doing it themselves.

    I know man. Some of the entries make logical sense but most don't.

    Further proof for separate manufacturing lines for every single pro with yonex? Knew it all along.

    Maybe Praneeth meant 3U & G5, assuming he doesn't really know what U & G stands for

    He may have mixed up.
    With a 5U playing Men's Singles at International Level . I don't know , does anyone happen to know any Mens Singles player using 5U? Even in the past?Is it even possible? This would be interesting.

    I know that. I'm just saying that it is not impossible for a player to choose that weight. Who knows if a professional player might like that weight. Just choose the weight you prefer.

    He is using the Protech Edge Platinum in the pink colorway. Seems like the racket came out in 2016, but can't find it being sold to countries besides Malaysia.
