Malaysian Thomas Cup team jersey

Bought this from the Malaysia GP Yonex-Sunrise Open

Back view with Malaysia + Yonex logo

Bought it at a bigger size, as found the collar is too tight for my neck.
It's a pretty nice jersey, the color is darker than the mostly white Indonesia jersey.

Gosen Roots Aermet 6900 Pro

I just examined and test the Gosen new replacement for 6900 Boonsak model, the new 6900 Pro.

The colors are more traditional and not the bright yellow of the Boonsak model.

The difference between this racquet and the Boonsak model is the 'muscle power' twin grommets have been shifted from 9 and 3 o'clock to around 7 to 5 o'clock.

Seems like a solid racquet but is expensive.

Malaysia GP 2010

Managed to watch the game today.

The shocker was Taufik Hidayat lost to Wong Choong Hann in straight sets.

Managed to string my racquet at the local badminton shop.

Markis Kido also strung his Flypower racquet there. According to the shop owner, Markis Kido's prefered tension is 30lbs.

Managed to buy the Malaysia Thomas cup team jersey.

Conclusion of Li-Ning Singapore Open 2010

WS-expected Saina Nehwal to win as China sent only Lu Lan

MS-unexpected for Sony Dwi Kuncoro to win. But after taking down LCW, he is the clear favourite

MD-Totally unexpected for the unheralded Taiwanese pair to win the title. The defeat of Markis Kido and Setiawan helped their cause

XD-no surprise as the veteran Danish pair claimed the title

WD-unexpected as the Singapore pair defeated the Olympic silver medalist from Korea


The tournament is somewhat dampened by team China's no show. Otherwise, the other top players came and play.
There was some draft owing to the air-conditioned, the stadium is pretty cold. Spectators need a jacket in order to keep warm.
