i bought like 5 rackets from ultimate sports so far... and i feel the price are quite reasonable, so be sure to check it out!

Haha so sorry to hear that, but to be honest i didnt experience any of these problem.

If i'm not mistaken, the uncle only sell wilson rackets, but when i asked him for babolat, he also tried to get it for me. I am not sure if the price is the cheapest, because i cant really go around and ask since i am in aussie, and my parents are picking it up for me from the shop. So all i did was made a call there, ask for the racket i wanted, and my parents went to pick it. He didnt even try to sell me anything else.. but i did bought an nblade from him as well.

I just think its really convenient and reasonable... haha

Can you guys guess how much is the retail price for a babolat pure drive standard here in aussie??

Hmm i am not really sure about babolat but yes i have seen heads racket there. I was told by them that they didnt get babolat directly from the manufacturer... haha not really sure...

SG 260 is around how much in Ringgit ar?

the pure drive i got was Rm450 i think

i got it from ultimate sports for Rm570

Babolat AeroDrive + cortex ---> Rm570

i heard its a very heavy racquet... small headsize summore... only for world number 1 to handle??
HAHAH

anyway the price 570 for the aerodrive with cortex is quite good i guess but i just bought it for my friend.... and he seems to be happy so yea..

Pure drive is around 470 in malaysia i think...

but i think its really expensive to get racquet in aussie... since i am studying here and i have been to considerably many tennis shops.. and the price are all offf...

Pure drive in malaysia cost Rm470 is around Ausd360 here in aussie..

however if this is the only place that you could get the wilson Us version that you wanted... then maybe you should go ahead..

i see.. i am quite sure there is no problem bringing it into malaysia, it only depends on your friend.

K-factor sounds good but i haven had a chance to play with it... maybe when i get back to msia ....

hmm... what is your budget?

nblade is good.. but if you are looking for power from your racquet, you can try ncode six... i feel the racquet has plenty of power when hitting the ball, but lack of control... so its up to you to decide...

haha very true. stringing can cost quite abit.. so be prepared to pay up to 40bucks for it depending on what type of strings you want.

Nblade is good but somehow i find it abit too stiff for my liking. so depends on how you like it to be lo

I WANT TO go ToooOOO...sadly i am stranded in aussie until dec....

Make sure you guys take more pics and share with us... haha

haha i am from kajang as well... but as far as i know... there are no free tennis court around.

The only place i went to play tennis was in Palm Garden resort which is somewhat near kajang i suppose... only 15minutes drive.

I am not sure about equipment for tennis in kajang but i do know a sports shop in the town which is 1 row beside billion mall... that shop does sell badminton stuff.. but not sure about tennis.

Tennis equipment can be very costly when you buy it at rip off places.. so becareful.

haha i wish that i can play with you... but currently busy... so maybe next time!

Hmm not really very cheap when u include the postage cost it is around Rm420++

why not try sports ultimate. i got the exact model for 480 a month ago..

actually i helped my housemate to buy it. and i have tried it a few times, i must say it is good..... the raquet head size, weight almost everything is to my liking. the cortex system is perfect to damp the vibration from reaching the grip... considerably better than wilson's triad series in feel. very good for volley, but lack of power for my game. So instead i prefer using babolat pure drive.

Medium swing, single backhand. I am using the pure drive standard, because of my backhand. Double backhand players are recommended to try the longer pure drive Plus as it gives the extension needed and also more power for forehand strokes.

Haha, i suppose you are really strong then. Did the ball burst?? haha just joking!

Hope you get a new racquet soon!!

hmm... not sure about the price for prince racquet... but i feel buying online is somewhat troublesome..

haha...

If you are just picking up the game.. and feel like getting a solid racquet... i highly recomend you to get a 2nd hand racquet. Some very good racquet are being sold second hand at a very very cheap price... i remember getting my sister a wilson Hammer for like Rm120. And it was really good.

However the only shop i have been to that sell 2nd hand racquet is the one in ampang sports ultimate i think.
