I use Karakal, really love it. I didn't remove my original grip since it's pretty thin and worn out. There is another brand, but I forgot the name...my friend recommended it and I like the feeling as well. Slightly more expensive than Krakal.

Aik? I bought my Karakal for RM 7

I think the reply that you got at BC forum are pretty good alrdy

Bought it at AJ Racket Mart, very near to MBA badminton hall in Puchong. I don't know the list/normal price though. I bought few things together with the grips. The shop give some good discounts

No, I didn't know the owner. It was my first time to the shop, recommended by a friend. Apparently, the shop have a good reputation in giving discounts.

It's a small shop, the size of half a lot. This is how the shop looks like (pics taken without permission from hot-screensaver.com):

No wonder when I saw your post in BC, I kinda recognize it. The RSL racket gave it away I guess.

How's the new apacs pc1110? Post some pictures and review in here if you can...hot stuff weh!

What racket did you bought?
Might stop by if I near the area in the future.

RM 190 for Nanospeed 7000? 90% confirm fake liao...
Just wondering, anybody using Carlton Powerflo 807 Wide here?

Because Yonex the most popular one? Heard rumors that Yonex racker price going to decrease since there's too many fakes out there.

Other manufacturers maybe don't have fake but clone got.
APACS makes clone of many manufacturers, not Yonex only.

LOL.
Don't forget, long time ago IBM PC also got cloned mah...and that's how we get our current PCs.

For example:

Yonex Ti-10: RM 380 - RM 500
APACS Power Concept 1110: RM 90+ - RM 150

Yonex Armotec 900: RM 500+
APACS Armo Tec 900: RM 120

Clone not 100% same with the ori one. For example, APACS PC1110 don't have Yonex Ti-10's Muscle Power frame. PC1110 lost it's stiffness faster and vibrate more. That's from my observation of course. These things are all subjective.

907? Where did you found it?

Do you mean how to differentiate between fake Yonex and original Yonex?

A very2 helpful guide: http://www.badmintonrepublic.com/fake/index.html

I personally check the grip. Yonex factory grip are pretty nice IMHO, although maybe not all their rackets use the same grip.

Black color? You mean this:



That's the 807 la

We talking about Carlton Powerflo rackets.

I found Fanthom Ace here, but dunno whether it would be much help to you or not:

http://www.bbeshop.com/racket_wilson.htm
http://www.bbeshop.com/en/racket_wilson.htm

Check both pages as I found out some of the rackets are not listed in the English version of the site and vice versa.

yOuNg$tEr: Which combination you going to get? If you have time, bring yourself to Bangi, man. It might be a little bit far but the distance worth it, man! You might found a number of superb deal there.

Yup, that's my current baby. Cannot la pinjam, I don't have other racket

It's RM 200+ at Etakoh? I got it for RM 139 includes APACS overgrip, string (choice of Carlton/Protech .66/Protech Absolute Gold .66) and a bag at Hock Eng Bangi just 3 weeks ago.

The shop owner did show me Carlton price list and PF807 are listed at RM 279.90 but I don't really buy into it since I couldn't find the racket elsewhere locally.

I oso stay far mah. From Shah Alam, I went there coz my friend suggest, saja want to check out. My previous racket broke while stringing there (alrdy got microcrack before), so I don't really have much option and tauke suggest that racket. I just take.

I didn't remove the original grip because I like my grip thick and firm.

Currently, I'm using a thinner overgrip compared to Karakal overgrip. Will change the grip to Karakal soon and will note the difference.

I don't know any shop that does handle replacement service either.
Have you read this thread at BC, before? Should be helpful, if your friend want to replace the handle DIY style.

Is Cab21SP same with Cab21 Special, no?
If I'm not mistaken, I saw Cab21SP at Studio R One Utama for RM 299. That means at actual badminton shop it would be around 250-270...If you can find it under RM 200 is a very very very very good deal. I would buy it and then sell it.

I checked BBEShop.com that Cab30-Muscle have been discontinued. I believe it's around RM 300+. At BC review secton, a reviewer said that it have the same feel like MP99 except that MP99 is stiffer and have iso frame.

Well yeah, both are acceptable I guess. Still cheaper than the list price.
HE Bangi really damn cheap. If not because the location, sure pple swarm it. Even now also, shop always got pple

Ryo, your hand must be strong since you love Carbonex series

Hai guise, haven't been here for so long

Ti10 should be around 300-ish now, no?
