I bought my badminton gear from a shop along Jln Bangsar.

I believe the shop is called Chiang Siah store. They currently have a special deals for badminton racquets. Somthing like buy 1 racquet free another with a badminton bag.

Strings are already included in the package.

If i'm not mistaken, it's the exact same model Yap Kim Hock used...

hehehe, just some info the shopkeeper told me...

He just loves telling me stories...

Finnex L2??

Hmm, don't think i've heard of that brand...is it a model or a brand?

dude, i still can't find the L2 model from the site you gave.

How goes the badminton 'kaki'??

I've just played futsal the other day and couldn't play badminton the next day. Arghh....my leg hurts badly, damn muscle aches!!!

I never liked racquets apart from Yonex, ProAce, Fleet and Carlton.

I think the Prince models have very funny shapes that doesn't guarantee real stability and power. But that's just my opinion.

*Double posts*


There's no Protech racquets....maybe you can try ProAce...they have good racquets and just as good as Yonex.

And Synex: I always warm up before I play ler....normal routine for me.

Eversince i played futsal, my badminton shoes koyak, now need to get new pair of shoes....DAMN!!!

Not only lazy to go and buy shoes, have to SPEND!!!

I think i'll get a good pair of badminton shoes to sustain me for a long time.
Budget should be around RM 100-200. I'd rather have good shoes than have ankle/sole problems later on.

I think i'm gonna get one of the Yonex shoes.

Heavier racquets cater for those who loves smashing. Lighter racquets are for those who play placing and fast with the wrist.



Sad to hear about that, what type of racquet do you like to use? Heavy? Light? Medium Heavy? Medium Light?

I think if your racquet breaks because of the racquet defect, then you can exchange it. If you broke it by banging on the wall, then you i don't think can get an exchange.

Haha, good for you...but i never liked Wilson racquets, to me it sounds like a squash racquet...hehe

I've got a feeling the brand name is Fleet.

Where is this friend's shop of yours??

I may wanna pay a visit to him....

I've just bought myself a pair of Rm150 badminton shoes.

It feels so light and comfortable. Moving and playing better too.

Its the Yonex brand with Ergoshape technology.

I can't seem to find the picture anywhere to post for you guys to see.

Wow, you guys seem to buy racquets more than you can play with.

Buying racquets seem more interesting to you guys than the game itself.
2-3 racquets should be enough IMO. Don't need to buy another one unless your current racquets breaks or is useless.

But of course, if you have money, by all means....I feel jealous...

My current Fleet Titanium Flathead Racquet can take 27 lbs.

But currently i'm on 25 lbs in the center and 24 lbs on the outside.

Not sure about the prices of racquets anymore....getting old for this...
