    I was expecting first comment from you bro :). Thanks for proving me right.
    Probably they won't leave Momota, Can't be sure of that because they left Sindhu.

    Money is everything brother.

    Although leaving Sindhu was the biggest mistake on which Li Ning has capitalised on, Yonex has always underestimated India, just look at the high end racquet variants, I mean for that money who would use a high end 5U head light racquet(NF700)

    By that logic Sho Sasaki and Misaki Matsutomo should be thrown away for using an American brand lol.

    It seems Yuta Watanabe's sponsorship contract is only for rackets.

    Yeah, but Yonex already snatched back Lin Dan. That was even bigger news.

    What Li-Ning racket is similar to the Astrox 88D? Anthony Ginting switched to Aeronaut 9000 and Srikanth Kidambi went from his Ax99 to Turbocharging 75 C.

    From my experience, none really. They're just adapting to different racquets. In terms of stiffness or head heaviness, you'd have to look at 3D Calibar 800 or 900C, but they're both aero frames not like 88D.

    3D calibar is something in between a box and aerodynamic sword frame. Aeronaut is box with vents at 5 and 7 o clock. Look at the picture in respective threads. This topic shouldn't be discussed here.
