Woooooh! As a Filipino, I am really happy to see our national team players in your video. This will inspire a lot of aspiring Filipino players to train harder to be in big tournaments like this. I also hope that this helps promote the sport in our country even more. More power to you, CK Yew. Many thanks!

[@endless-3161]

I'm really amazed by how multilingual you are. 👏

[@cheeyienchung7265]

Most Chinese Malaysians are multilingual...so that's not all that surprising. But what I find surprising is his fluency...in English Mandarin Hokkien and Bahasa as well. His English accent is such a joy to listen...quite unlike the Manglish which Malaysians frequently dish out!!!

[@blkoay]

We Malaysian are mostly multi lingual. I think CK is also from Penang, so naturally, he can converse in many languages and dialects

[@memeranque]

[@nathan88274]

He's so good

He speaks Mandarin with different accents as well😂 what a champ

Biggest suprise that Rankireddy didn't continue to play with Nanoflare 1000 ZZ. Great Video CK as always

[@beck3740]

What did he switch to? Liang w k wasn’t using it recently anymore either.

[@yifeilin2504]

@@franckiewicz0831 liang is now playing with Nanoflare 800 Pro

[@muhammadalfahri6772]

Because Yonex Duora Z Strike is definetely give more power. It's more heavier and more stiff than Nanoflare 1000Z.

[@CharlesTYK97]

I was thinking you would clarify that Yew Sin and Ee Yi recently switched back to their old racquets: Aeronaut 9000C and Aeronaut 9000. 😅

[@หมอมายด์พยากรณ์]

Correct 🎉 I saw Ong Yew Sin switched back to 9000c also.

[@luqmanhakimasri9193]

Yeah..

[@wdr-gk3nc]

Rankireddy and Shetty are such nice people. Just sad to see how they get so much hate from fans from other countries

[@blkoay]

My friend, haters are everywhere. If you're a top player, you will have such toxic people spewing hates. You should see how they abused Lee Zhi Jia in Malaysia.

[@denzelnolet]

They do? Yeah, they're really nice and well mannered. Maybe on the court they might do some things like delay tactics or interesting celebrations, but regardless, they're always smiles even when they lose their games. Speaking as a brown guy, Indians might also not have a good perception in some parts of Asia.

[@AAAA-ye1fq]

Zi Zi jia is not a top player lol😂​@@blkoay

[@nathanael5899]

I’ve realised both Liang and Wang changed to the new NF800 Pro. Wow seems like its so good

[@rovimatias2712]

Nice to see that more and more pros transition to exbolt 65 from the usual bg66 ultimax / bg80.

[@shixune2453]

agree i get more control on exbolt than any other bg out there

[@hugomarze1710]

Why its nice ? Whats the différence ?

[@CB-si8eh]

​@@hugomarze1710have tried both BG80 and Exbolt 65. From my experience, 65 gives me better control and faster drive. while BG80 feels more powerful and satisfying when attacking at the back court. I'm a defensive doubles player so I personally prefer 65.

[@BLaCkHeLLMaXIIX]

Isit my eyes or the camera quality really looks CLEAR? the quality is suppppperrrrrrrb!

[@RaffMo12]

Nice to be updated, thanks Ck

[@BairHandSolo]

Hope you include some more of the shoes that they are using on the next videos that you will be uploading that would be nice

[@BiliVKing]

I think liang/wang china is using Nano Flare 800 pro, 1 3u and 4u in the ongoing China Super 750 tournament

[@franckiewicz0831]

I noticed that too. I thought it might be the Voltric Z force 2 but wasn’t sure.

[@BiliVKing]

@@franckiewicz0831 Or the rackets are quite similar in color but it seems they are using 800 pro rather, Liang switched from 1000z to 800pro, Wang switched from 11 pro to 800 pro 4u. I think Yonex Voltric Z Force 2 is quite stiff, only suitable for single play.

[@小哥-d1h]

how do u know wang use 4U

[@BiliVKing]

@@小哥-d1h In previous tournaments, I often saw him play 11 pro 4u, so I think when he switched to 800 pro, he also played 4u. Often netting will use 4u to increase flexibility

[@JohnDoe-ei5gp]

lil mistake at 8:36, he said arcsaber 11 not nnf1000z, love the video ❤

[@benjiminchew8676]

Actually quite surprising to find out that so many doubles players are playing with 3u rackets

[@jonathanethan6734]

thats mean ur arm is weak

[@milanchrai8001]

Lovely vedeo. Thank you Mr. Yew

[@dion139859]

Good video as always, but i think both wang chang & liang wei keng switched thier rackets to nanoflare 800 pro at china masters this week correct me if i am wrong 😅

[@hoangphuocdo5695]

So do I. Definitely, they all change to Nanoflare 800pro but I don't know why they don't mention it 😕

[@miguelv2985]

@@hoangphuocdo5695 I think when this video was made they were still using previous rackets.

So curious about Watanabe. He played with Halbertec 9000 :)

Very nice video bro. The details on the side is perfect.

[@water-glock]

Thank you for nice video!

[@tigrerouge1702]

For the english he said arcsaber 11 pro and you wrote nanoflare 1000z. Thanks for the video

[@dibya8590]

Hi Ck These videos are very informative about the equipments that pros use. I always come and watch these videos before buying rackets. But I would also want to know the grip sizes of the rackets . Do the pros use thick G4 or thin G6 grips. You can add that in your next interviews.

[@Reiれい-f4o]

這個口音不就是自己人嘛😂 有沒有當天拍的照片，可以分享一下嗎？ 好喜歡他們😭

[@kodzukent8013]

Finally, Filipino players made it to your video!

[@SuperSans01]

First seing a ph player got interview im from Philippines too ❤

[@miguelv2985]

@CKYew, I thought Jiang Zhen Bang is currently using Nanoflare 1000Z. He's holding a racket with yellow and black color at China Masters.

[@theviewer1360]

probably changed it as china master is recent but in this video they were in denmark for world championship

[@R6ex]

Exactly! All recent games of him were on 1000Z.

[@FuriousTonk]

Thanks for the vid! It seems to me that more players are using BG-80 and Exbolt 65

[@TonyAPhu]

I found a quite interesting case that Liang W K switched from 1000z to 800pro. While 1000z smash is stronger and also faster than 800pro? As a professional smash player? why did he choose 800pro like Wang Chang? Hope CKyew can interview them

[@akumaqwe123]

Love the way you are switching up your chinese accent when speaking to different people😂😂 Especially when interviewing the malaysians😂

[@ngzhuohang4630]

[@safuanamar]

Hi CK Yew. Like your videos.. next, please video about the player's shoes. thank you! =)

[@Panda-ul4dc]

Hello @CKYew , just a quick question, when the pro said that their tensions is a 30 lbs, does it mean that the racket is strung at 29x31 or is it really at 30 lbs, since the manufacture recommand 10% higher for the cross strings

[@Jello998]

I think Liang/Wang switched again in Shenzhen? I think they switched to the 800pro?

[@dawjy9413]

Bro, you are mad talented. How many languages do you speak?

Dear CK, thanks for brilliant video👍can make 1 for pro badminton shoes👍

[@novybjm401]

Thanks CK Yew

[@mahariharith340]

I have been VERY CURIOS cos Yonex recommended tension for Nanoflare 1000Z is maximum 29lbs BUT the pro string it upto 36lbs! Are they using different models compare to the models available to the public?

[@joy89shoreline]

Whats the inbuilt dummy string tension in nnoray18i? Whts the best tension u recommend for close to net play nd dropshots??

[@NIUNAIMIANBAO]

The is a typo on ben lane racket model. He mention arcsaber 11pro. It came out nf1000z

[@NyanBites]

the felet ultramax nano 66 is a really good string and unreasonably cheap

[@LeNguyen-yy6vr]

Did He Ji Ting (pairing with Ren Xiangyu) use Astrox 77 Pro 3U or 4U racket? Hope to get an answer! Thanks

[@minh2235]

Hey CKYew , have u ever tried the Lining 3D Calibar 300B if yes please tell me if i should buy the Astrox 99 play or Lining 3D Calibar 300B

[@surapurna]

6:15 maybe he can use Aerobite or Aerobite boost to have hybrid string like that. definitely unique set of string. but i had the same idea as his. but im using BG65 and Aerosonic.

[@mohd.afandi9549]

Maybe that's his recipe for the durability side of his high tension stringing.

[@cepya6665]

Yonex BG-80 or BG-80 Power many player used string? And what's the different?

[@TonyAPhu]

Hi CKyew. Can you update in 2024 ?

#ASK , It's good for Double Pair Badminton use Compact Racket Head?

[@mclarenludan2290]

I believe it is fine, and mostly up to personal liking. If you play with a compact head racket such as NF800, and get used to it, why not? It will probably has more feeling too!

[@TerminalServiceOfficer]

@@mclarenludan2290 can i Ask again? I'm so sorry because im still newbie. So what Is advantage of Compact head Racket? It's so hard to use, i always miss the hit and the shuttle cock always hit the frame 🥲. So do you think i need to change new Racket with isometric head? Or stay with compact head and training my skill more?
