[@CKYew]

It’s down to their sponsoring program. If a brand sponsor less players, they generally get less brand awareness on the circuit

[@ahchun338]

CK Yew, are you Malaysian working abroad?

[@mchengalath]

Hi CK Yew, Thanks again for this great content. I noticed, non Yonex players (racquets especially Li-Ning) have only one tension (i.e. just 31lbs instead of 30x32lbs). I wonder if these players have the same tension on their mains and crosses!

[@SurenMOF1]

last year many of them said they use 4U but this year it seems almost everyone uses 3U in doubles as well.

[@Seviroth]

Hi CK, great content as usual. Thanks for all the hardwork. I am curious, what did Pearly use before switching to Arcsaber 7? Also, I've been using NF700, and when I tried using Arcsaber 7 with the same string & tension (Aerosonic, 23x25), it feels like the Arcsaber 7 has less power. Which is weird, because NF700 is headlight (vs even balance) and my NF700 is 5U whereas the Arcsaber 7 I tried out is 4U. Any insights on this matter?

[@tm4s426]

In my opinion. I do own a Nano 800 4U5. Being headlight it's not suitable for backcourt or singles. However, I did find this to be very strong towards Mid to front attack due to it's frame design, slim shaft and increased swing speed which allows you to generate power quickly which I'd say substitutes for it's power loss being headlight, if that makes sense.

[@singgihsuhariyanto8563]

Pearly use 88s Pro before using 7pro. And i do have all of those 3 rackets, NF700, 88s Pro and my current main racket 7 pro. From my exp, 88s pro is the most powerful out of these 3 rackets, with 7 pro coming close in second and NF700 in the last spot. I think the most logical explanation why that happen is because you are not accustomed with 7pro, cause it has a slight different swing and feeling from NF700 and also 7 pro has shuttle hold unlike NF700 which famous for its repulsion.

Hi CK, I want to ask if you know what could be good yonex / victor alternative for Praveen Jordan's Victor Thruster F Enhanced racket? As It's out of stock literally everywhere. I've been using astrox 100zz for more than a year and I find smashing pretty satistfying but yet a but weak as it is extra stiff racket and I would like to try some similar racket to Jordan's thruster which is stiff/medium and his previous rackets were Li-ning TURBO CHARGING 75EX / Aeronaut 9000C which are both medium stiff. I'm more of a rear court player / smasher so I'm thinking about Astrox 88D Pro. I've checked Lee Zii Jia's Thruster Ryuga as it's medium stiff and head heavy as well but seems to be too heavy for me (91g). Could you advise on this? Thank you!

[@juned_syafitra]

still confused.....what is the benefit of pre stretched? tks 🙏🏻

[@bijayantasingha]

Less or no loss of tension while playing.

[@ThaiOdessy]

More "stable" which makes for more consistency in use. Non pre-stretch string will start to loose tension after stringing/usage. So, if you initially string at 26lbs, then after several days/weeks/games, the tension may have dropped to 24 lbs.

[@juned_syafitra]

cool! tks guys for the knowledge from this CKY channel videos, we know that just some players using pre stretched. maybe 40% or less. i assume that most of the players re-string their rackets right before the competition start

[@timmyturtle1066]

Just a question, what did you mean by +10% in tension?

[@No-ko4tp]

Pulling string with higher tension first before string it up on the racquet. This decreased the repulsion of the string and gives more solid feeling and control. However, this greatly decreased the life span of the string, making it thinner and more easy to snap.

[@CKYew]

Electronic machines are able to automatically pull the extra % before going to the desired tension. 👍🏼

[@sintothez]

i don't know what is means why they using the racket with tension(30x32lbs)? Why normal player always using 25-28lbs. It's not mix 26x28 like proplayer using. Can u explain?

Strings when they first strung on the racket are too tight to play with, that's the "early phase", you gotta play with it a couple of times to make it able to bounce, that's the "honeymoon phase". People pre stretch the strings tension to skip the "early phase" and straight to the "honeymoon phase". 1 bad thing about pre stretching is, your strings lose tension earlier.
