    Why should Peter switch from MP-88 to an AT-700 in the meanwhile, when he plans to switch to a NS-8000 later on? That would only make sense, if the MP-88 wouldn't be available any longer and he still had to wait for the release of the NS-8000. I think, he'll stick to the AT-700 now, and Yonex just asked him to promote the new NS series.

    From another thread showing Lin Dan racquet, we know for sure that he is using a 3U/G4 at700.

    I heard that Taufik was using a 4U AT700, anyone can confirm?

    Please don't ask stupid questions like this... I don't think Lin Dan ever used an MP100.

    As for the MP99, most likely it was a 2U

    I am deeply sorry if the question offended you. I am really sorry but I though Lin Dan used MP100.

    I think Lin Dan never used MP100. He used MP99 before he switched to AT700. CMIIW.
