Bro, how was her ? Did you enjoy your night ?

Sweet, found the one that satisfies you in every way. Dont cheat yet, spend more time with her, till you truly understand her, may wanna buy new piece of clothes to replace her old ones, g-string and nice skirt perhaps ?

My PP Ultra II survived couple of big collisions, hit and run, battle scars here and there and still stand strong. Whenever Im not feeling up to par during session I always come back to it hehe.


Yeah, Malaysia won after tough 120 mins battle

Owh ok, not playing ka, its ok bro, I might experiment different setup on mine.

Have you tried ? Sorry didnt let you know about Sunday session, was on the way back from Penang but the traffic was so heavy took me 6 hours to reach KL.

SW35 + VS850 27lbs + 10% Pre Strech ?

Owh, its a sign ! A 'get new racket' sign

Opps, I went back Penang for my cuzn wedding, you miss bullying me leh hehehe. Will come next session ok

Why dont you come tomorrow night to Proshuttle to fully test the racket

Kerja kata jangan, hati kata pergi, raket kata mari

We play every Tuesday night 2130-0000. But no session next Tuesday. Alternatively we play on Sunday night as well. You are more than welcome to join mate. Just pm me if you need any more info aite

Shoulder recuperating in progress haha. Im an average player only who likes to experiment with equipments (gearwhore hahaha), but skill wise, beginner - average level

Btw has anyone of you had shoulder impingement before ? Minor or major, I think I kena, normal arm position it's alright, but when arm lifted up more than 90 degrees some pain occurs in the shoulder.

http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00032

Shall give it a rest 2 - 3 days and see how it goes. 3-4 consecutive days of playing really taking a toll on the body

Btw letting go MX80 and VT80, planning to get another SW35. MX80 reserved, VT80 any takers ?

Owh maybe on Sunday. Or, maybe I can join your session hehehe. But I do play on the day you mentioned too.



Nanoray 20 is kinda low end range for Yonex. With RM250, I suggest you go for other brand than Yonex, you can get a mid end to high end depends on the brand. For a starter, you may want to look for mid flex and balance racket. RSL , Apacs, Fleet, Protech, Prince offer varieties of good quality racket at affordable price. Even Lining comes up with the RM200 range and I have held it personally, it feels solid too.

Dang, the real sifus come later and shoot me. Im nowhere near sifu honestly, just trying to help fellow enthusiasts to enjoy badminton like I do ! Im pretty sure everyone in this thread would be glad to help too.

SifuSotong dah datang dah ! For a starter, most important to get the technique and footwork right first, but getting a suitable racket helps alot too.

Clone as in the paintjob imitation, both of them play differently. If you want sub RM100, the Apacs Nano 9900 is a good racket at its price. My friend has it and sometimes I do play with it, easy racket to play with, there is Apacs Finapi series, and RSL Scream M12 for RM100 including string and grip. RM150 - Rm200 there is Prince Triple Threat series, but the frame is kinda fragile (based on reviews I read and listen to), Apacs VH1800, VH2000, Victor Artery Tec TI99, Wilson K Factor series. RM200 - 250 plenty of decent racket, the Prince Oversize, Dunlop Biometric, Few Lining Ultra Carbon series if Im not mistaken. If you wanna give Yonex a go, VT7/VT5 are a good racket, or maybe Ti-5 or Ti-Zero LTD. There's Apacs Tantrum 200 but its kinda stiff you might not like it but its a very decent racket. At least these are what I can think of.

Edit : Saw you asking about the Cab21 Special. For a starter you might not like it, as its oval, the sweetspot is small, but it generates good power provided you hit the sweetspot consistently. But it's definitely solid and handsome racket for its generation (which cabs arent)

Owh, I see. Thanks for the heads up.

I was recalling which was you, then only remembered ! Should call sifu sotoong ?

Btw, Spot on ! Trying out before buying is good. But the more poison you consume, more antidotes needed

Victor sudah revised their price like what happened few years back with Yonex. Grab those old stock Victor while you can, the new stock not gonna be so nice to your wallet.

My girlfriend bought Babolat Satellite Solar, very nice racket from first few swings, very fast maneuvering racket. Then the owner went to his store took out the X-Feel Blast -http://www.babolat.com/#/badminton/en/products/307 Errrrrrr, no comment, and the price is cheaper than SW35, Must - Not - Buy - New - Racket !

New stock BS series frame only RM450, SW35 frame only RM380. The prices are from Modernsports. Even Hock Eng offered SW35 Rm399 inclusive of string. Pertama Sports Bangi no stock liao. I think I just wait for another used unit to surface then grab it.

Didnt buy any new racket haha, resist the temptation, only gonna test my gf's one soon. Abang Lan was asking how's your MX80 tension, if too tight just cut it and come back to him

It was told by the tauke from most of the reputable shops. Even seen the new stock with new price.

Which Victor you were aiming ?

Already here, Hock Eng and Modernsports have all the models.

Yeah, until Babolat or Fisher sponsor good players or country, then we can expect the same happen haha.

OOT : Nowadays lesser Yonex winner on Super Series, mostly Li Ning and Victor

I'd lose control when go to racket shop kenot tahan wanna buy

Takpa bro, biar beginner asal bergaya

How much you bought it and where ? VT80 is not really stiff actually. Maybe it has to do with your tension ? What racket were you using previously ?

You playing for the friendly this Sunday ? Might come and support you

Nice racket. zero_hour how many racket you have currently ? Mesti banyak liao. I'd use Arcsaber 9 if the specs are my preference, like the color

Owh, totally different spec from your previous racket, having difficulty adjusting is common. If you are having injury using it, by all means please listen to your body, you dont wanna worsen it.

No badminton for me for at least a week or two, just recovering from shoulder impingement, now my left lower back. Twisted it yesterday and had my friends sent me back home. Now let alone badminton, couldnt even sit properly

Promo jugak -

Some of the shops around Cheras and Langat, you can purchase the camouflage shirts and shorts for RM50 both sleeved and sleeveless. I bought the blue sleeved and yellow sleeveless, plan to get the Gade's but duit kurang.

SW35 for rm350 is standard, sub 30% from retail. Still remember 3 months back Uncle David offered me SW35 RM300 all in, yeah that's including frame, cover, string, grip, socks, wristband god knows what else haha. But I didnt buy hahaha. Now no more but its not a surprise if he decided to come out with that promotion again, he did it with Arcsabers, Nanospeed, Nanoray, Braveswords, Voltrics at crazy price before.

Rad, try out the SW35, mesti anda suka. My go to rackets are these two - PP Ultra II, SW35. The stiffness between two are no difference with SW35 is slightly head heavier. Good thing is, the shaft stiffness is constant, and balance in offense/defense. The Ultimax, might give it some time to settle down, and you'll have your setup I think.

And I think I found my strings setup too, BG66 Ultimax @ 26lbs + 10% prestretch. Now its either BG66 or 66U, no need to spend money on experiment anymore. But, Victor just came out with 0.66 string, the NS-660Ti, might try it out too as long as its 0.66mm and below haha.

RM50 shirt + shorts together.

1. Batu 11 Balakong, behind Jusco Cheras Selatan.
2. Netplay Sports Hulu Langat, beside Petronas and Mydin.
3. Suntex Sports, Batu 9 Suntex, beside BSN.

I think some of the shops dont display it so you gotta ask, and some of the shops dont let you mix the size, but I did with Netplay Sports, I took M for shirts and L for shorts.

Regretted since then, hope he'll run the promo again, and we manage to snap one.

With prestretch, somehow I dont feel the crisp of newly strung string, but it does benefit in the long run, the tension maintains for quite some time. Im happy if it reaches a month plus. But speaking of which, came back from another session just now, both Ultra II and SW35 need new strings, dropped alot of tension after a month plus. If the new Victor string available I'd give it a try. If not, as usual, BG66 at 27lbs + 10% for Ultra II, and this time wanna try BG66U 27lbs + 10%.





Haha, I always went for 2nd hand deal as well, just be careful with the counterfeit racket seller. But so far so good, might grab another SW35 if ada sweet 2nd hand deal hehe. The MX80 grommet pattern definitely makes the string feels denser than usual tension, but I wasnt not good enough for the racket hence sold it off. Havent tried Forza racket so far but from the review they really make good attacking racket.

Will check out tomorrow and let you guys know. Hopefully it is but doubt it due to "Ti" haha.





WTH Lin Dan kalah liao !
