I just got my racquet protection tape yesterday. Haven’t used it yet. Will use on my new 88S Pro. Thanks!
@@miket2737 pp ppl
i love how every player acts like you´re not a reporter or anything and really shows us that they are regular human beings!! especially viktor! they way he communicates and listens and then the fistbump in the end! so casual!
There were a lot of unseen fist bumps and I’m not a reporter 😂😂
I think a lot of these players are thirsty for some socializing and getting some attention from the medias, they are only human
I like how some of them don’t even know if their racquets are 3u or 4u
Some racquet like Tec7 just mention the weight. And they only have 1 variant under that name.
In this case the Tec7 is 84g. 4u I guess.
@@thanhlongkohat just like arc 7 pro.only 4u no 3u
Pros might get custom rackets
they are dumb lol
Really, like someone mentioned, it's weird how players don't know about their equipment. While amature players like me would do in depth analysis before picking a racket lol
because pros dont have budget concern. they can just email and ask their sponsor to parcel them dozen of racquets.
while normal people like us with budget of buying only 1 racquets definitely need to spend some time to understand what exactly we want
@@No-ko4tp true stuff, man. True stuff💯
Probably doesn't really matter much for them which racket
@@sendoh7x obviously it matters, just like the previous comment mentioned, sponsors probably send them a bunch of rackets for them to test, they just have to try and pick the one that feels best for them. We don’t have the luxury to test and pick so we have to study in depth 🤷♂️
@@jigeahah5058 It doesn't matter as much as you think. My coach says equipment wise, footwear is far more important than racket. Some pros even train with squash rackets and the likes
I’m very surprised by the amount of pro players that doesn’t know the characteristics of their equipment. Like they’ve just been handed a random racket by the sponsor.
Which should signify us PLEBS shouldn’t have to choose the top range racquets to play well😆
And in the other hand we have us who knows every aspect but don't know to play properly 😅
Usually sponsor will ask the player the type of game they play, is it aggressive, control...??? Then the sponsor will bring a bunch of rackets that they think suitable for the player to test. Over there player will decide which racket is best for them.
Because racket is probably max 5%?
This happens more often than you think at pro levels 🤣
I was waiting for Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong’s then you have to give a small peak to make me wait longer😭😭😭 can’t wait for part 3
Same they are my favourite players to watch rn can’t wait for them
Team China video coming separately soon
Seeing Alexandra & Amalie in one frame is heavenly nice
🤣🤣
Looking forward to the next players - great Video
Glad you like them! more to come 😊😊
"They don't know their equipment"
Maybe because when you reach pro level, equipment dont mean too much. Skills pay the bills as they say
I'm gonna use that!
"Skills pay the bills"
😎
Haha 100%!! 😂😂 skills pays the bills 😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's funny you mention that and it's not always true. Victor Axelsen knows his equipment inside out.
I've seen the same from Kento/LCW/LD/KevinSS/Gideon etc.
All the elite pro players know their stuff inside out. As Victor pointed out all those hours of training has paid off. I'm sure these lot must have spent hours and hours testing each racket to help them with their strengths and weaknesses.
Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying an intermediate player like me can pick up 88S Pro and suddenly become a pro. And as it has been pointed out their game is different to ours.
I actually feel that within their game, a racket change would be a big difference because a lot of the pros are at a similar level and the slightest differences can give you a massive advantage.
Hence why it is interesting to note that even amongst Pros, the elites know their stuff inside out without hesitation.
Yep, I agree 👌 The true elite has an edge over the others. And yep, technical skills + racket skills pays the bills 😂
Looks like BG80 and Li Ning #1 are the more popular strings, this is what I have too!
Thnx my guy for Valuvable information❤
Wow! Great video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it! more to come!
I think the bulgarian player's arcsaber 7 pro should be 4u as yonex only release one weight category for it. Unless player got a special version one.
yep, potentially a custom made racket
😂💪🏻 Seems like Axelsen don't want to say his racquet tension
Love the content and the "subtitles" for their equipment, last video was a bit hard to understand due to some unfamiliar accents haha
Victor's broken racket looks funny haha
I do read the comments 🤣🤣🤣 Viktor's racket wasnt broke, only the strings went
This is a good content. I really like the approach to all the pro players. I'd like to know if the tools they're using are significantly effect their performance, if not, then what advice for us beginners to elevate our performace. On a side note... i do really wanna buy your racket protecter, do you ship overseas?? Thanks CK Yew!
Of course! We ship worldwide! 😊
Hi CK.. Two things which surprises me
1. Players dont know what racket they use 3U/4U.. i understand it may not matter to them but the other point
2. If you look at the string tension they are telling is most of the time more than maximum recommended 13kg, 14kg 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ why not choose a racket which allows that maximum weight?
Nice as always 😁
😊😊😊
Here i am. Again. Not knowing anything about badminton. Not interested in the sport but watching your video again. Silap silap aku beli juga raket buat display kat rumah ni.
😂😂😂 ya ya!! 👌😬
Yessss, finally, u met Axelsen, amazing video.
Just a question, can u try to do a review on the Ryuga ii? Nobody else does a better review than you.
I will be doing a review on the Ryuga 2 when I can. 👌
Great, I will be on the lookout 👀
Great video
👍
Sometimes the rackets only come in one weight class like the tectonic 7, so asking it kinda made the players confuse.
They might be getting custom made rackets
@@CKYew bwf forbid custom racket
Did Axelsen actually switch to the 100zz or is it a repaint of his trusty duora z strike ?
Nice video and food to know all tensions
👍👍
just an advice, I think racket weight is kinda confusing for them. Because Lining don't 4u or 3u to indicate the weight of the racket, the weight is on the racket's name. ex. 900C is obviously a 3u racket since it's a Combat version and weighted 86 gram, etc etc
Sebelum tidur layan dulu video bos. Salam dari semenyih❤️
Salammmmmm. Selamat malam 😊😊
4:10 if i'm not wrong, the arcsaber 7 pro only comes in 4U
great vid
Glad you enjoyed it!
"yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" So wise..
Surprising the Pros are not so familiar with their equipment, I blame this on the G and U size definitions, the bigger size means less which is counter to intuition, and this causes untold confusion! What great genius created this system?
😂
While me,
🏸 Lining G-Force 9000
⚖️ 4U
🧵 Lining No1 Boost
#️⃣ 27lbs
I try to lose weight but then at 04:57 I almost give up haha.
😂😂 they all look amazing! 💪🏻💪🏻
victors string tension 31 * 33 what does it mean. 31 main string and 33 cross strings ?
I didn't know that I'm watching your video for about 1 year without knowing that you're Malaysian! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 🇲🇾 bolehhhhh
Alexandra Boje……oh my! ❤️❤️❤️🏸🏸
🤣🤣
viktors racket was WRECKED 💀💀💀
CK .. i really like this series. Sila teruskan ya. Balik mengundi tak? hahaha
Hes Malaysian?
Pasti undi 👍🏼👍🏼
@@CKYew selamat mengundi bro ❤
@@ahmadaidil1652 yes he is. I’m very proud
Please do the 90k 2 review CK Yew 🙏
i olay badminton just a hobby.3time a week.
racket 3u and string victor vbs 66.
tension 27lb.
from 26th july until today.
string start showing loose a tension in the middle center and also start to show sign of gonna break.tear at middle center.
as far as weight..my back up racket is 4u..bg 66 force tension 28lb.
feel like easy to play.
so i also dont know what really suitable set up i like it.
You just need a restring once your string breaks
Honestly unacceptable that these pro's don't know anything about their rackets, weights, strings and tensions. And also some of them are so unprofessional when taking a few simple questions. Is it that hard to be a bit humble and kind?
This is what sets players like Victor, Kento and Tzu Ying Tai apart. They are kind, humble and joke around as well.
alexandra boje so pretty 😍
She’s super cool too!
Please ask kodai naraoka which racket he is using in the bwf world tour finals.
Team Japan video coming soon
Mine’s:
1. Yonex arcsaber 11pro
2. 4U
3. BG 66 & 80
4. 28lbs - 29lbs
Nice! 👌😊
Am confused to choose between BG 80 & BG 80 Power ,I mean why are people option BG 80 over its more repulsive variant ? Especially given the the stats in Yonex website that Bg 80 Power has more repulsion and durability than BG 80 🤔🤔
@@user-oo5md1rn6f Actually, u can try Exbolt 65 or Aerobite… that string also good. I use BG 80 is bc Im used to using it for a long time alrdy. Now, update I change from BG80 to Exbolt 65
4:18 bro staring at my soul
I’m sure if I tried to play with 33lb I’d break my arm! I use bg68 string at 24/25 lb. Local club player.
Would it be silly for a club player to try 30lb plus?
Intermediate juniors?
High tensions doesn’t feel nice unless we have good technique and timing. Plus probably injury causing too over time 😬
is it good to put 32x33 tension in astrox 100zz? because the max tension of 100zz is 28 or 29. but viktor axcelesen strung 31x33. can astrox 100zz handle that??
I guess at that level it really doesn't matter, they can play with almost any brand or racket just a matter of getting used to it.
Main conclusion of this video is everybody has their own settings for the game,
Maybe we can follow their settings if we already have a good skills , but if we are still beginner don’t ever copy their setting
7:08 is like millionaires using a not knowing whatsoever old phone to make calls and messages, while the rest of us worrying about the latest phone releasing next week and study all the specs
🤣
Tectonic 7 plays extremely well, but why are there so few players?
I have 3 tectonic 7s in my backpack. I still take it to many local competitions
Isn't that racket rlly head heavy and hard to play? Especially in doubles
@@Blockthecreeper No, it is very easy to use, but the racket head frame is a bit small so you need to get used to the small frame racket
Where is Anders Antonsen from Denmark?
Ive gota say. If I was a sponsor, of which I have been. I would be a bit pissed off that the players did not know the details of the product I was sponsoring them with.
Mia Blichfeldt shirt says OJD who is that or what company is that?
Mixed feelings about the last part yea? By means to hear him retiring soon 😢
I kinda curious why the forza players use victor strings, what's behind their choice if there's any. And I'm still looking for more fellow exbolt users haha
Yeah, I’ll miss him when he retires 🥲🥲 forza and Victor has an agreement in Europe I believe.
@@CKYew aahhh now I understand those 2 brands relation 😄 thank you
R those couldn't mention their rscket details pro players ?
I have seen Ginting with a mysterious Axforce in one of the insta posts, very curious.
I've seen that too 😬😬 but he didnt mention the Axforce, Team Indonesia video coming soon
@@CKYew Did you try asking 🤫?
Unrelated to the video 😅 but would you suggest the standard or thin & long protection tape for 88d pro?
Both would work 👍🏼👌
Do u have the ax99lcw?
The pro player doesn't know their detail of their equipment just like a guitarist who doesn't know the name of the chord, but they can play it perfectly
exactly 🤣🤣🤣 skills are the real deal!!
why they cant say the model of the racquet if not sponsored?
because there might be contract obligations?
Please anyone tell me where can I watch their interviews and other players interview??? 🙏🙏🙏
I might be posting the full conversations I have with the players at some point.
Thank you!🙏
Yonex-sponsored pro players really love their BG-80, don't they?
Its certainly a favourite for many players
Astrup/Rasmussen was not in the mood for the interview 😅
Nobody likes losing 😬 it’s completely understandable
@@CKYew 😔
how come it seems most don't know if they are holding 3U or 4U? lol
Axelsen❤
seems arc7pro doesn't have 3u?
It should sound funny but the first thing I bought after watching the series is deodorant 😂
😂😂😂
Bg 80 is just too good man…Aerobite has its uniqueness but BG 80 for the win❤
Haha my fav is still the Aerobite 😂
@@CKYew same here aerobite is the best. Bg80 is so hard at same tension compare with other string
why they are not using new strings, even im using n63 now
Strings are all down to personal preferences so it’s all down to them 👌
What!!!! Does 100zz support string tension beyond 28lbs? On my racquet it just shows 20-28lbs of string tension, how's victor using 33 something???
You can always string higher but you will void your warranty so be careful
@@CKYew Thanks alot. Feels great to get a reply from you 😊❤
👌😊
Arcsaber 7 Pro 3U? that must be a tailor-maded racket for her lol
I think so, pro athletes do have custom made rackets if they need it
I love how the pros have no idea what racket weight they use, it’s literally just whatever works for them and whatever they are used to.
Interesting on the no sponsorship so no comment but I can understand that, you don’t want to say “if I’m not being paid, this is what my choice would be” 😂
You'd be surprised how many arent aware of what they play with 🤣
Hi ck, do you know what racket are rankireddy using?
Yes, team India video coming soon 👍👍
Funny how some players dont care at all about the weight of their racket nor the tension of their string. Unlike most amateurs who give a big deal about as little as 1lb😁
Don't think Arcsaber 7 pro comes in 3U, only 4U option
Pros might get custom rackets
Hey CK, I finally got A ArcSaber 7 Pro.
And have been advised to string it at 28 lbs.
Should I string it at 28???
You should use the tension you’re comfortable with. If you’re not sure, I suggest starting at something like 24 before going up or down the next time you string 👍🏼
@CK Yew yeah I am comfortable with 28 too..but the suggested tension on the racket is 19~27lbs
So should i string it more than 27 will be affect on frame or not
@CK Yew currently i play with 27 tension on my old racket
next time you should ask their shoes
Some tell me immediately, others dont know 🤣
Is loh kean yew is your brother
I really want to know, if u dont have sponsors, u cant talk about your gears?
I think because they don't want to advertise it for free.
Hmm I wonder why Lining sponsored players prefer to use Lining No 1, any opinion on this CK?
Thin and repulsive string! Sounds amazing too
It is very good but not durable.
@@MaxBarkov not always an issue for people who have sponsorships within that company, they probably get sent string every so often from their sponsors for when they tour and take a quantity with them, specially when other countries might not have that string available, for the average player your probably better with something more durable to keep costs low but when its part of your job its not much of a problem
Why LZJ changed from ryuga ii to old ryuga?
You’ll find out when I publish the team Malaysia video soon 👌👍🏼
@@CKYew waiting🤩
Tectonic 7 3U?
why lohkeanyew episode not list it？
its already in my French Open playlist, go check it out
"the nicest arse on the tour" is retiring??!
Haha It can be an upgrade to “the nicest arse off tour”. 😂🔥
Omg I’m early for once
👍👍👍
BG80!
players do not seem to care about the weight either 3U or 4U😁
I guess feel to them is more important than absolute weight
Korea Please
hey, isn't bg80 unavailable these days?
in India, I can't find it... bg80 power is available...
Hello, I am an intermediate level player. I have had my current strings for over 6 months now. They were at 26lbs at the time of stringing, but i feel that the tension has dropped significantly, should i change them right now or wait for the strings to break.
You can change them whenever you want 👍🏼👍🏼
This is what happens when racket mfrs release 200 different models and many variations of weight, grip, this, that!
What is the best main and Cross in bg80,exbolt65 if i go 29?
I normally go 28 by 30 if I want a 29. Its all down to personal prefrence
Your questions reflect a lot. They should know every detail of their equipment and show them whenever they got a chance. Their sponsor paid a lot not only for giving them equipment to play games. And the interview after the game is quite important(Look at F1 or golf), but badminton players look so rushed and ready to leave at any moment, seems like they are not properly trained to be a celebrity in sport.
I agree that badminton is behind in this aspect compared to F1. However it is slowly getting better. Some of the players who didn’t know their equipment when I last spoke to them do now so that’s a step forward too 👍🏼
I am sure pros don t care about their rackets they only want 30 31 lbs and thats all 😂😂😂
Pro players don't like change their equipment quickly
It depends, some do, some don’t
tectonic 7 - 4U no options
Yes, however pro athletes might get custom made rackets 👍
@@CKYew I do not think so. They simply did not care. U3 - 7c
I will miss vitingus
Me too 🥲
First
Yayyyy
No disrespect, but this is really unprofessional, atleast at this level players must know about their racket and strings. I think that's really unprofessional, it shows that they are not concerned about their equipment a player must know everything about their equipment.
If you didn't notice, most of the players know what string and tension they use. If you watch CK Yew's interviews with other players from other countries like Japan, most of them only know about their string and tension as well. This is because the racket they use can change quite often depending on what their sponsor provides. Also, they can change sponsors from Yonex to Victor, Lining, Mizuno etc. Therefore, the racket itself is not going to be that important. The most important aspects are Fitness, Footwork, Skill etc
Viktor The Greatest Of All Time My Idol I want to meet him once in my lifetime 🥺♥️
