no syiok try try cheap new racket. i prefer cheap used racket. better quality racket nicer

the apacs clone series i really dunno the specs though, only models i looked were lethal, tantrum, slayer and training. considering the w-120 or w-140, heavy rackets to train up strength. i got no power

a few shops i know in kota damansara got. i think around rm100 with string.


just restrung my gosen. bg66UM white. the shop only got white and yellow also changed overgrips.

before this black string white grip (wilson pro). now white string black grip (yonex 102ex).

seen the red one before. malaysian open that time yonex sunrise got sell the other coloured strings. only shops here dont have much stock of anything except white and yellow.

any1 with an SW35 i can test out? preferably with bg66um 27lbs

might be getting the vt9 if reviews are good. not that i need another racket. 4 rackets, play 4 sessions a week, theoretically can play 1 racket each session. but usually sticking to slayer 99 for overall play, gosen for extra power defense, and SW36 for offense. but looking for a heavier head racket, bp over 300mm. dont think the SW35 reaches 300mm though. my old vt5 was 315mm. defense sucked but smashes were awesome. hehe

got used wilson blx vertex and recon cheap2 in the market. itchy. hahaha. getting conflicting specs though. vertex some sites say medium flexible, some say medium, some say stiff.

recon some say medium, some say medium stiff. recon made for singles though, scared my defense not good enough for doubles with this spec racket.

ooo. some more i'm staying at kota damansara, shouldnt be too far from his place. hmmmm...

classic cheapest i found is rm52, average around rm53-54.

tourney no 1 i dont buy. i think around 50 though.

1st. apacs slayer 99 - racket for back court play. hard to keep racket up with a 2U racket. hahaha. even balance, but heavy enough with aero frame to do decent smashes. decent sized sweet spot too. bg66um 26lbs

2nd, 3rd, 4th.
SW36 - racket when i'm in the mood for aggressive play with lots of smashing. defense not as good though. 3U, bg66um 27lbs

wish nano force 1022 - cheap racket, isodynamic frame (like z slash), small sweet spot but quite powerful. 4U, slightly head heavy, nice to play with. cheap apacs string (free with racket), 27lbs.

gosen roots aermet 7900 - even balanced (but considered head light to me ), 4U, good for defending, decent sweet spot, not the strongest smash, but nice control. bg66um 27lbs.


only need to snap the string on the wish racket before i can get all my rackets to be on bg66um. then can compared the feel.

nope. the 7900 is my first gosen. but the guy who sold it to me wanted to get an aermet explosion, supposed to be more powerful.

i have 2 4U rackets, the wish nano is about 295mm, the gosen around 290mm.

none of my rackets reached 300mm except for my (broken, RIP ) fz forza ti550 and my voltric 5 (bp 315mm . sold cos i wanted to standardize all rackets to be stiff)


all my rackets have the original grip removed, using 2 overgrips or 1 layer 102ex. havent resorted to using lead tape to increase bp and power yet though.

on the look out for a head heavy stiff racket (and yes, SW35 is included, everytime i ask SW35 sure recommended by someone )

sword technology more aerodynamic than SW aerodynamic frame. but paint chips much more easily.

SW got e-titanium, supposedly more power in smashes. considering that ti10, fz forza ti550, li ning tp series rackets all have strong smashes, i am inclined to believe that there is some truth to it. faster frame recovery upon hitting or something. and inner waves technology, lengthens the string by a bit so the trampoline effect is stronger, hence more power. my gosen power cavity also does the same thing, the grommet at 3 and 6 o clock part of the frame is double grommet, the frame itself doesnt support the grommet on the inside of the frame.

but other brands put their strings around the frame, no grommets. carlton prototype for example.


dont really care much though nowadays. as long as it feels nice i just use. even though my wish nano force is cheap ass and i dont even know what fancy named technology it uses, its a nice racket to use.

got some1 selling used tsf300 ti rm260, quite cheap. dunno any reviews though. shaft only medium, not my cup of tea. if not would have considered getting it.

went to KD sports just now. yonex new stock coming in next week or the week after. ronald says the vt9 is part of that stock.

from what i read online tsf300A extra stiff, tsf300D stiff, tsf300ti medium. or medium stiff. different website give different spec.

i think kd sports has one or both of them. seen them before there.

with e-titanium higher end. sw30-37 rm499-549 RRP, the sw3150 around 3xx RRP, 2xx after discount.

i think kd sport got also

win or lose still qualify for finals right? asia got 3 slots, china already in finals, they qualified for semifinals, so all the other 3 semi finalists also through already. but at least can see how well the guys are. japanese doubles not bad actually.

dun have. the boss say he lazy wanna open. ask me to help promote.
i think i got his phone number somewhere. u want?

haha, told u the japanese doubles are quite good. i think doubles coach for japan is park joo bong, used to train our doubles. he started with the japan team last year, but they improved alot. also, LKW and GVS beat LYD cos JJS wasnt playing.

mx60 kd sport doesnt have yet. got so many rackets wanna try out, dunno where to start.

shoes also

victor KD sports only has sh8500 or 8000 ace. forgot which one, cos its size 44, didnt bother remember. hahaha.

asics and yonex shoes got alot. march should come in new stock, vt9, vt z slash, alot of new yonex shoes including the shb65ft. orange/black

hmmmm...... the blx vertex looks really nice up close.

hmmmmmmmm

expensive or not depends on buyer. i used to think anything above rm100 is expensive. now i see rm250 shoe also think "hmm, quite cheap".

same for rackets sadly. only got 1 hand to play badminton with, now got 5 rackets already. promised myself i would stop at 4 rackets.

yeah, the bg66ultimax price reduced a few months ago. during the malaysian open that day also yonex sunrise sell at the stadium rm25, got red colour one

KD sport rm30 with stringing. nbg95 and nbg98 now most expensive strings.

apacs aero flight A 800 is good. rm60. equivalent to rcl black silver, same price also. bought 8 tubes already, quality quite consistent. 2-4 sets doubles can last.
