    LSM is actually using a new racket @YGO2015. Does anybody know what Victor will be released in the next months? I'm guessing JS11 or HX900. The colorway is awful. Sorry for the bad quality of the picture, but better a bad one than none.

    That's definitely not an 8ST. He has no reason to use it when he switched from the 12N to JS9. That's something entirely new.

    Thanks for the pic even if the quality isn't too good. Color actually reminds me of the SW37. Just..more outstanding hahahaha

    At first I also thought, why the heck an old SW37? Then I say the the bright orange at the lower part of the shaft and cap and the bright orange flashing at the sides of the head. I guess that this is a design of a new Jetspeed. We will see tomorrow. I will try my best, if they win today. Want LSM's autograph on my Victor 2010 SSF Taipei 2010 Lintbag. :cool: Wish me luck.

    Looked like an MX80 in his match with Rumbaka (who also seemed to be using a Meteor).

    As far I could see, Son Wan Ho was using MX80 and Rumbaka was using MX80n

    Could be Ah Tat, not that he used his signature gear for long anyway.

    The way I see it, maybe he doesn't want Victor making money off his name. Rather it go to himself or his own products?

    This is interesting. I wonder if he is allowed to use his own brand racquets/equipment for tournaments or is there a contract in place with the korean national team that prevents individual players endorsing other products?

    You could be right though, given that he didn't use his pink/green shoes for very long. But then again, victor never made that many pairs of SHLYD.

    I suspect the reason why he doesn't use the BSLYD is probably because he didn't like it as much as the BS12 and didn't do as well with it.
