    Hong Wei broke two of the new blue/orange Duo 10s in the semi final (well, broke at least one and changed another).

    In the final he did indeed use a Duo 7 for the first game and then switched to a green/orange Duo 10 for the latter games.

    Wasn't Lin Dan also seen carrying a Duo 7 during practice?

    A bit of exposure for what's otherwise an overlooked racket. :)

    Thanks for clearing this up. Thought it was a DUO7 I saw :D

    Weird to see a pro switching rackets mid match.

    Lin dan definitely uses z force 2 because i asked a stringer. And lee chong wei uses neither a z force 1 or a duora 10. It is some random model also confirmed by a stringer.

    I thought the Danish are now sponsored by Victor apart from a few top players - BoMo, VA etc.

    'round here....
    "The Danish National Team will be equipped with VICTOR apparel during the international team events, while the Danish National Coaches will be fully equipped with VICTOR in all events."

    Probably not even shoes by Victor, but certainly no Victor Rackets unless they find some players to equip.

    Lin Dan's red Racket: Maybe it's time for a Astrox Z-Something?
    I think it's wider at the bottom than the Z-Force II.... It has a similar shade of red like the Duora 7, but I don't spot enough white and black.

    Yonex's marketing is doing a good job I guess. They trick us changing rackets' paint jobs and people are still looking for it.. :/

    How many posts about LD or LCW's racket on this forum only to find out that they never change :rolleyes:

    agree, that what it looks like from the paint... unlikely to be a z-force 2 or z-strike because the lower grommets dont seem to be within the frame... Of course the picture isnt the best quality.
