    He's using 77 pro, at least based on the paint.

    She's recently sponsored by Flypower. On her IG, she's holding the Smash Geledek model.

    Hiroki Midorikawa switched to Nanoflare 1000Z

    Yuta Watanabe seems like he is using a new Li-Ning racket. Maybe Halbertec? But again, I could be mistaken due to the angle and lighting of the matches streaming at the moment.

    Nagahara also seem to have changed racket for this Japan open, she is now using 100ZZ. Recently she has been hitting hard! Even when using NF700

    I think you're a bit late as she's been using 100zz for a while now

    Oh goodness, I'm so blind, have to go back to watch some replays. I bought the NF700 because of her....thank you for the info too.

    Wished there is a better way to show which racket they are using instead of us guessing. CY Yew did great job of asking the players but some seen to get irritated when he ask the same question at the next tournament. Others are very happy to share.

    But how can I be so wrong!

    Man switches racks like underwear. He's changed racks so many times. Aeronaut 9000i, Aeronaut 9000c, Ax80, now Hal9000.

    Looks like Liang and Wang are both using NF800 pro at China Masters 2023.

    He’s using a 3U var, and the Hal9000 that he has looks nothing like a Halbertec.
    Hal9000 should have a fully recessed frame but his is just half recessed. And both my Hal8000 and Hal7000 is not that boxy. Kinda looks like a repainted AX80 with Halbertec cone.
    I get it, they lost China and none of the pros are using Halbertec so far, oh well.
