Cai used it for the China Masters, but there's no definate answer as to whether or not he will use ns9000 or ti-10
Most likely NS9000, he was using it during practise matches. Edit: Anyway, it's about time he gets something more suitable for a defensive player like himself. I can understand players like KDM or FHF using Ti-10 to get the power to finish at the back, but a net player like CY, Ti-10 probably won't give him the manueverability he needs to bring his game up to the next echelon.
er, from all the matches i saw for china masters, he was still using ti10... unless he was using 9000 for the first rounds and switched back to the trusty ti10 for the important matches?
I'm sorry, it wasn't the China Masters, it was the China Championship2006. Sorry if I caused any confusion. And after watching Cai use the ns9000, his smashes are slower...it's true he's a net player, but he still needs power whenever he's forced to the back.
I noticed that as well... BUT even against top level opponents, he was barely ever forced to the back, and if so him and FHF were in perfect sync to switch after the first shot he hit. I don't believe it was ever in their strategy for CY to smash and finish the point, as long as he didn't give away the attack, that was good enough. Also I noticed him being able to put on serious pressure midcourt to the net, which might have been complimented by a lighter racquet.
I agree with you there, but he did have some nice smash winners when he was using his Ti-10 lol. Who knows, time will tell if ns9000'll serve him well. BTW is it type S or X?
any pix of them with their shirts off ?? Cai seems to be thinner than Fu. I just wanna know whether I'm right or wrong.
Well, Cai lost a lot of weight a few months ago, cuz he had some heart problems... but gained them again I think. You're right, Cai is thinner than Fu... But I don't have shirtless pics of them... Uhmmm... in Denmark, there was a female linejudger about 50 y.o. who kept taking pics of Cai when he took his shirt off
Dear yannie....haha....thanks for those CPH pics,I really enjoy looking at them! Now I can imagine the story u told me yesterday clearly.... afterall, I know cai is not that 'cool-looking' he has his friendly-looking side, really thanks to u!!!!!!
