    Viktor plays doubles? Since when?

    Dude, you have even quoted a post that contains the information you are asking here.

    So could you just stop spamming this normally interesting thread with these silly questions which are obviously only meant to elegantly promote your questionable website?

    you tell us, with all of your top-secret classified research.

    translation: i'm lazy and would rather spam shitposts instead of reading.

    I hear your point he is a highly trained athlete, but small difference can mean a lot at that level and personally i found the zf2 a much better performer

    Probably the feeling. I preferred the ZF1 as well, much more solid feeling. ZF2 is faster, though.

    Definitely true. I expect the pros try most of the rackets from their sponsor to find one that feels right for them. Li Ning are marketed as tailored made for the Chinese National Team players e.g. N9 II for Fu Haifeng. Not sure whether it is just marketing or whether it's true.

    Yes must do, I have read they take part in the design process too sometimes. I think Lin Dan was involved in the development of the original Woods N90.

    In no way, shape or form is that statement true. Please explain how a medium balanced racket with marketing gadget 'technology' makes more sense for a singles player with a strong smash (that has been using head heavy rackets since ~2006-07) than a head-heavy one he had previously (openly) been using with success.

    Also, what research? That's a pretty scientific term for what I very much doubt is in fact scientific research. Unless you want to share some of it, I'll ego ahead and completely disregard it. (According to my research, LCW plays 150% better using the ZF1 compared to the D10. It's very sound research, trust me.)

    Helpful. I'll continue disregarding the baseless statements then.
