[@jasonyuchenliu]

Thanks CK for keeping us updated on the pro's equipment! Very nice idea there with the signed poster! If you ever see this, could you maybe try to get signed posters from Momota for his last international appearance at the Thomas Cup. I would definitely purchase one if you had that and I'm sure I'm not the only one! Keep up the videos! Cheers!

[@CKYew]

True, unfortunately, I don’t have any photos of him court-side which I’ve shot myself and I’m not heading to the Thomas and Uber cup too! Here’s to wishing Kento a happy final tournament and retirement too! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ryanreviews8566]

love LZJ honesty! ofc pros often use custom tuned equipment. they play at the highest level and they often require that level of detail to reach higher levels 😤

[@CKYew]

🙏

[@lamawgt4638]

Hi, uhh question, what does it exactly mean when they say "customized" by the pro players. I am only aware with having the aesthetic customization but not exactly what they mean 😅

[@weely2199]

The funniest thing is Hamilton is switching to Ferrari😂😂

[@deanbeaudin3559]

How do you think pros' rackets are customized? Stiffer? Head heavier? I remember holding CTC's racket and having a dry swing on it. It actually felt more balanced and flexible than the normal z strike on the market if I remember correctly. Could it be that pros also customize their rackets so they could be "easier" to use?

[@archiechiu7524]

Saw Axelsen sharing CK's video of him. Who knew CK had such a talent for filming as well.

[@sarathkrishnan_K_U]

Axelsen is still an amateur youtuber whereas CK is a pro in that space.

[@themasta728]

LZJ cooly exposed the 'industry secret' of pros using painted /customized racket lol. Learning which model the pros use is fun but always take it with a grain of salt.

[@CKYew]

Custom rackets are pretty common amongst the elite so it's not surprising 🙏

[@Izsar1902]

Yeah i remember seeing controversy of lin dan's repainted zf2 as ld force lol. Its too obvious since there are many difference between zf2 and ld force

[@SmileKiDx]

Very interesting videos. In the future, could you please also put what discipline each player plays (singles, XD, doubles). I think it would be useful for those who aren’t familiar with the players. Obviously, we can just search ourselves, but I think it would be a nice touch for viewers!

[@YoAshStar]

Will you be doing a review abt the ryuga 2 pro?

[@Doc_Mitch]

Poor Ginting, he looked dehydrated 😢

[@95thRiflesOCI]

9:44 Ryuga Metallic only comes in wooden handle tho so that's not tuned or custom. I kinda doubt they are actually tuned rackets but just picked out spec wise from the different variations from QC. Especially since Victor is known for a large margin of error when picking out specs. But great to see LZJ being so open and honest about it if its true :)

[@yogirizki3529]

ive read somewhere that the reason victor picked wooden handle for ryiga metallic was because LZJ not liking the freecore one

[@andreanyapteckcheng1865]

Tuned or custom can be the balance point, swing weight and length

[@longquan0104]

Since I know that Momota's 77 pro is repainted 99 pro. I doubted that LZJ's Metallic is repainted Ryuga 1. XD

[@whoops7025]

Sad if they truly have customized rackets...

[@winterhearted6780]

I don't really think they are so much different from commercial rackets. Maybe some weight, stiffness or dimensions adjustments, but I doubt they use completely different products. I really would like to know for sure though...

Yu Fei changed to NF1000z? Yonex just made a LE Astrox 77 Pro for her this year.... 😂

theres a guy on youtube called Mr Backhand, and he said racquets need to be "activated" by the string..... i tried his way..... hes right!

Can you like make a google spreadsheet? of all the player equipments?

Hi sir I bought Yonex arcsaber 7 play Can I string it with 28 to 30 lbs Won't it break the frame? As the required tension is 27

just realised LZJ change racket again, a red racket frame, anyone have any clue what the racket might be

Hi CK Yew, do you know if Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang are using 3U or 4U for their Nanoflare 800 Pro? Thanks

[@blivition.]

I saw Anthony Ginting still play with aeronauts in the thomas cup? Is he switched back?

[@son8128]

is there a good reason why so many pros use bg 80? i understand why aerobite is so popular but i thought bg 80 was not the most powerful string?

[@BaronLawq]

Fajar & Rian are probably the best Yonex ambassador haha they are promoting 88S & 88D Pro 3rd Gen really well , mentioning how comfortable & great the rackets are , plus Winning the All England with it ;))

[@jaydenntobias1814]

Weng Hong Yang is already using the 1000z last year. I've noticed it while watching his matches with LZJ last year

[@Fiendtype]

I saw HBJ was nt using 1000z anymore, hmm..

[@smrt237]

Why Fajar and Ardianto sound like they doing a sponsor message 😭

[@BreadKiyang-tr8ht]

bro just mentioned lewis is driving for ferrari in 2025

[@ShivasundarS]

So finally it is concluded that the pro racquets available for us in the market are not the same as what pros use. Thanks LZJ & ASG for throwing some light on this topic and telling us the truth.

[@sumanthnandamuri2168]

Ginting's Axforce 100 seem to have a thicker shaft.

[@jaredthx7469]

Yup can confirm that player rackets are quite different CK! I have a LZJ coded Ryuga 1 and it is definitely much head heavier and noticably stiffer than retail coded Ryuga 1s at the same weight (3U). Same thing with a player coded Z-Force 1 vs a retail unit (rip old friend :( )

[@itsjinxed01]

when it's Ginting's turn, I thought the camera was facing too high for him to be in the frame lmao

[@Akera101]

i was shocked to when baek hana switch her racket to 88s pro. but in recent tournaments which is badminton asia championship, she back with her old racket which is 88s old generation😂 if you have more time pls ask her about that! anyway thanks for the video!
