i played with tago in malaysia and he doenst have the yonex logo on his racket because he string it with so mutch tension that he has to throw his racket away after using once!! so no need to put in the logo!! bad publicity for yonex!!
It was a joke directed towards Lin Dan fanboys who said almost the same thing when Lin Dan lost to Peter Gade
I don't understand, what tension is he using ? Also, it's not just Tago that doesn't have the paint on the strings, it's most if not all the JPN players
just wondering, is KT using NBG98 ?? I noticed the gold of the strings, I am just wondering. Also anyone found out the reason why the JPN players don't have the YY logo on the strings ?
If their racquets are re-strung onsite by tourney stringers, stringers won't have time to imprint the YY logo on the stringbed.
Then why do the others teams (Mas,Ina,Dk,etc) have the logo ? I bet they also give their racquets to the tourney stringers
I believe it's an exaggeration, 30-33lbs looks more likely. The NBG98 is a very stiff feeling string, and to me feels even stiffer than the BG80 (Thomas Laybourn uses BG80 at 36lbs by the way). If not then Tago would have had the strength to punch holes through all of our stomachs Kyokushin Karate anyone
That would be a great match to watch, although definitely NOT LITERALLY speaking Tago has a bright future, and Lin Dan sure will still be fighting to the end of his marvelous career.
Apparently he used BG66 at 35lbs at the WJC in 2007.. o.o I feel that thicker strings feel harder to play with at high tension than thin strings like the zymax62, bg66m, rsl superti630, etc..
What the FRICK? 35 pounds... that's insane. He must never ever mishit the slightest bit off center... And they're 66's, not 65's. Unless he used a very different method of stringing. I hear in China they use a very non-orthodox method that supposedly requires very high tension but ends up being normal (to our standards). I don't really know, since I'm not well-acquainted with the techniques of stringing.
