How we verify gear
Our goal is accuracy, not speed. An item is only published once it's confirmed across the sources below. If we're not sure — shoes, for example — we leave it blank instead of guessing.
📱
1. Social media
Athletes' official accounts — gear posts, unboxing videos, and sponsor tags are the earliest signal.
🎙️
2. Interviews & podcasts
YouTube and podcast interviews where athletes talk directly about their model and setup.
🎥
3. Match footage
Official tournament recordings let us confirm the exact gear used in real competition.
🏷️
4. Sponsor pages
Roster pages on the brand site (Yonex, JOOLA, Wilson…) are the final authoritative source.
Why every page has an "updated" line
Sponsorships change fast — an athlete can switch brands mid-season. Every page shows its update month and source so you know whether the info is current. Spot stale gear? Let us know.
