Career timelines, side by side
Every racquet used by the seven players in our database, plotted across the years they used them. Each bar's color is the series. When a player used multiple racquets concurrently — Lin Dan in 2017, for instance — the bars stack into sub-rows. The Olympic and World Championship years are where careers cross.

How to read this
Columns are players. Ordered left-to-right by their earliest tracked racquet year. Reading down a column traces that player's career like a resume.
Bars are racquets. Height = years used. Color = series. Hover or click for the era, achievement, and link to the full racquet page.
Sub-tracks handle overlap. When a player used multiple racquets simultaneously, bars split into parallel lanes inside that player's column. Lin Dan in 2017 (5+ Voltric variants) is the densest cluster.
Read rows horizontally. A horizontal slice across a year shows who was using what — the 2008 row catches Lin Dan's Beijing-era arsenal next to LCW's Armortec phase.
