Professional players and their racquets

TWK needing more head weight than GVS still stands, lol. AX88S and Arc11 respectively.


Anyway guys..... For the koreans, here's the list. Some pending confirmation still. But few. Pics when I can, too tired.

Shoes wise seems like all the girls love the Aerus 3 Ladies... all red except for Sung, in blue.
Jung Kyung Eun - NR900
Kim Soyoung, Jang Yena - AX88D
Chae Yoo Jung - AX88S
Slightly unsure are:
Kong Hee Yong - Duo10LT (though lighting could be a Duo10)
Song Ji Hyun - Duo7

Seo Seung Jae - AX88S , SHB65Z
Son Wan Ho - VTGZ, SHBA3M

I wish GVS would use the AX88D 4U atleast. They seem to be the only pair that could put brakes on the minions world tour titles march(other than some surprise pair upset).

C'mon now. Are you seriously suggesting that a racket change would actually help defeat the Minions by the malaysian duo? GVS and TWK are an amazing pair but lately they're somewhat struggling with their games and it's not because they're using a non-astrox racket And many other players have used a godawful lot of racket models and still suffer under the ferocity of the indominions

I think I caused a misconception due to not spacing the two statements properly. For the first statement that as being the main backcourt player, I just wish he used the AX88D. I just love watching his powerplay when they were in top form during 2016-2017.
And for the second statement it is as I said just that both the two statements not related in any form or manner. From what I saw during the thailand masters both TWK/GVS are much better than what they were last year also after convincingly beating HS/MA.

Son Wan Ho and Yonex does not feel right though!

But that VTGZ is looking badass with him!

Is there a reason why he moved to Yonex? New contract?
 
From super stiff MX80 to flexy VT Glanz?! How does SWH even adapt to it?

Ohhhhhh!!

I'm surprised by SWH choice of equipments though.

The racket was already mentioned by @visor

But even the shoe, given that Victor shoes seem bulkier, I would have thought that SWH would choose the 65z or something instead of Aerus.
 
That is indeed the most disturbing racket spec switch since I am following professional badminton. And what's even more disturbing is the way he's playing with it. Unbelieveable. :eek:

It made no difference whatsoever! Momota changed from AX88D to AX99 and we could see a slight difference. Ginting changed from VTZ2 to AX88D and you can see the difference.

But I don't understand SWH.

That goes to show racket specs are probably not the most significant aspect in one's abilities to play. Although it can help some players who are more sensible to specs and changes. Or may be it helps them from a mental aspect? Nonetheless, pretty unbelievable play from SWH yesterday after the switch!

Are you seriously saying that there is a visible difference in their game that is caused by the different rackets? And different in those two cases meaning rather minor differences in actual racket specs. No way. For pro players, I think every other aspect has a bigger impact on the actual game than the racket.

E x a c t l y!

Still, one could ask why he was holding on to that out-of-production MX80 for such a long time when apparently he's rather flexible in regards to adapting to even crucially different racket specs.
