Japanese teen sensation Ishikawa Ryo signs a 5 year, 6 million dollar deal with Yonex! The sixteen year old will now be playing the Yonex NanoV 450D driver, New NanoV FW and Cyberstar Forged CB. Now lets hope he performs with the big deal under his belt!

Once again Yay! for the JDM

Exciting news for Yonex, and don't get me wrong, I would jump on the deal as well! But, how many investments in guys under 18 have paid off so far?

I think Ryo has fantastic potential, but he didn't really light things up after his win... I think it might have been nice if he could have developed his game a bit more, out of the limelight. But, with the JPGA searching for someone to try and help them match the JLPGA's young stars, maybe he would be in the spotlight regardless of his status (am vs pro).

Since the deal is done though, all the best to the Shy Prince.

Cool. He'll be in town for the Pearl Open in Feb. Maybe he'll be fully decked w/Yonex gear by then.

What did Ryo have in the bag before he signed with Yonex?

just curious regarding those yonex cyberstar forged:

has anyone here hit them and can say how forgiving they are, etc...

That Solid Contracts Driver looks NICE!!

Where can I find more info on this brand?? I've searched the web.... but only English versions and can't come up w/anything.

I play the cyberstar forged and they are sweeet, and im the only guy playing them. The left right forgiveness is ok but distance wise they are great .
