Any idea who can list those players both men and women using 88 pro.? I'm sure i saw some woman using also. 1. Kamura 88s pro 2. Sonoda 88d pro 3. 4.

Nice to see ZN still being around, seems that the rumors about his retirement will stay rumors (at least they are postponed). Not very surprised with CL staying, after all he has been using the same pair of shoes and racket for pretty much the last 10 years, with the former being specifically manufactured for him and the later discontinued for 6 years or so (?).
Good to see CL and ZN staying, all of the achievements are from LN. I have a feeling that LN will rope in more Chinese top players
The whole chinese national team is now under Yonex. We have seen them in Yonex attire already. If pic show cl and zn still with Li Ning. Then I guess these are the only 2. The rest already in Yonex cannot go back to Li Ning until contract ends in 2028. So cannot understand what you mean Li Ning still wants to rope in top chinese players. Its already a fact that China is with Yonex now.
Yonex signed Chinese team, that doesn’t mean each individual cannot have their separate sponsor, Like yonex roped in Lin Dan when entire team was sponsored by Li Ning, It is just a hunch and many things can happen. The main reason in my opinion for all this chaos is unlike past as lot or Chinese players are under performers and sponsoring all of them is not cost effective, so I think LN will rope in only top performers and of course legacy/signature players like CL and ZN.
You forgot how CBA said LD's deal was one time off and only. No more future such bullshit. LD was pulled to Yonex during LN's sponsorship era. CL and ZN are remnants of the LN era, having personal contracts when CBA changed to Yonex, hence that's why LN were able to retain them. It is slightly different. They were not poached during an ongoing sponsorship deal, the way LD was. But I believe as per Japan's Yuta's arrangement, shirts and bags will be Yonex as long as they play for the CBA and not independent. Racquet and shoe can be LN. Top pic: '21 Q2 competition wear Interprete (in this case apply) the charm of the city Bottom pic: '21 Q2 competition wear New modern era of style ONLINE! (basically new modern design out now!) As a side note, wtf is with ZN's hair loss? Dafuq? And his racquet in the second pic looks like a Voltric 80 Etune. LOL.
But LN is a Chinese brand and they(CBA) can do as they wish so I won't write my hypothesis completely off. They had personal contracts? I didn't know that. I think Yuta's shirts and bags is contract between his employeer and Yonex. That racket is Turbocharging 80, kind brownish/brickish red.
As long as we don't know any details of the actual contracts and the strategic thoughts of neither CBA, Yonex or Li-Ning, it's a complete waste of energy to prolong this discussion in here. At the moment, there is nothing more to do than seeing what happens and accepting the facts.
