    You may like the design. I find it atrocious. Has nothing to do with the brand at all...

    What Jackie said. If I hated yonex I wouldn't own a bag full of YY bats. Granted my personal preference for V is well known but I've never not given YY a fair shake.

    So apparently shuttle house’s logo got pirated onto the pic and they contacted Yonex, which vehemently denied any such existence.

    True that actually, since Momota is the one flashing it around so likely he’s in line to get a player version first... and he’s WR#1...

    Welp. Your calls to believe if its fake, but seeing the completeness of the frame render, it seems legit (leaked way too early) to me, that’s all. Maybe to coincide with his comeback trail probably.



    For me, I just dislike the top white part, rest of it is ok, business as usual to me...

    In parallel, Racquetforce has posted the new LCW kit which surprisingly shares a lot of the same color scheme:

    I guess we will have to wait and see.

    These new stuff are available already but Shuttle House told that they'll receive Momota orange shoes in April!!!!

    I've been wanting these shoes since last year!

    Any idea where I can get them already???

    Maybe break into the top secret Yonex "to be released" warehouse?

    The sarcasm is high here XD

    If I have to wait till April I might as well wait till next year for his Olympic stuff.

    And it looks tasty ... that's what the girls said.

    Just too bad I wouldn't have the AX99 to go with it ...

    But I was planning to get it along with the World Tour Finals Final Match Momota's jersey and short - it's just an arrow to the knee it is being release so far away.

    By April there might be a new Japan Team uniform.

    any tips / recommend currently using 4U and feel less power. NBG98 w/ 26 tension.
    should i lower the tension or change string to BG66UM?

    Did not tried nbg98 with ax99. Bg66um was great at 27, Bg66force was amazing as well. I am now playing with bg80 at 25, gonna change it to 26 and I really love it. I’m gonna stick with it.

    Aerosonic, absolutely impressive string afaic. After I've tried it, I'll be using up my other strings and will just use aerosonic and not looking back
