the price is around 400% to 500% higher. . .

how's protech racquet performance?

How offen your people will change most of the grommets for the racket? especially those who use high tension one 26-30lbs; I wonder how many times of stringing those grommets can stand for. . . anyway, I use 24lbs only sometime very dulan one for the string snap becoz of the bad grommets. . .

IF DEPENS D GROMMET,IF D GROMMET BROKE D,JUS CHANGE IT...SO WHEN U CHANGE STRING,CHECK ALL D GROOMET..

I wonder what is the common rate for renting a badminton court per hour ?
sini RM10/h seems like a bit.. exp ==

im not sure, but a place that i frequent(book by my friend coz nearer) costs RM16/h at KL.

Rm16 lagi

RM10/ hour expensive? Wait till you see the PJ/ KL rate. So far, I know around KL/ PJ RM16 to RM22, exeption of the one in PJ Taman Mayang and Puchong, super expensive, but, funny though, quite fully packed. Maybe location good kua.

Added on September 9, 2010, 3:13 pmFriend, when 2 racquet hit (depends how hard you hit), any racquet oso bye bye ler, cause nowadays racquet made of carbon, light weight. Unless of course, you buy those steel racquet ler, that one, unless your partner use tennis racquet, very hard to break one. But, before that, make sure you got sufficient arm and wrist muscle.

That's why unless u really pro until racquet is sponsored, or money not issue for you, just get the average price racquet is sufficient (in my personal opinion).

Apacs Nano9900 seems to me like quite old model (at least 2 to 3 years old), but, no doubt, it good racquet. I tried used my friends one few times. Not sure if it still in production or not, seems quite hard to find, most shop carry 1 or 2 pieces only, not sure whether is their leftover stock or what.

RM10 is peak hour or before 6pm?? i ca tell u some of the rate i played
mayang jaya RM10/hr for weekdays before 6pm, RM20/hr for weekend before 6pm and RM27/hr after 6pm if they got empty court left
south quay RM15/hr for weekdays before 6pm and RM25/hr for weekdays after 6pm
3k RM10/hr for weekdays before 6pm (not sure the present rate as i didnt go there for years)

for that budget, take a look at victor. should be able to get the high-end series already.
top up another Rm50, can consider BraveSwords

actually Yonex's version is Nanospeed 9900
Apacs version is Nano 9900 but now replaced by Nano 9900 Power which is stiffer

YY NS9900 is Rm600+
the cosmetic(paint) same only. material, tech and feeling totally different

Added on September 9, 2010, 3:34 pmtalking about rates..damn i miss the days when i was able to play at Rm4/hour before 6pm on rubber courts!

the court is Ipoh Stadium though.
the rubber courts are not like those at New Vision PJ.
these are 1 piece THICK rubber which is very soft to step on.

haha o i c
hmm may be go for apac ba
cause i see yonex aj tell me they say lbs like 24 like that
then i not understand why lining so expensive T T

COZ CHINA TEAM USED IT MA..THAT IS BUSINESS METHOD..IN D MARKET GOT FAMOUS PPL USED IT,EASY TO SELL,THEN SELL HIGHER PRICE ALSO GOT PPL BUY IT..

like this very hard to balance 1 wor...
btw, very eager to get a new racquet but no money la

haha o i c
xD
cause tat day AJ intro me lining TP101
omg so nice but rm 280 = =

wont very hard to balance..it's thick but not soft until when u stand on it, it will lump in.
when u land after u jump, can feel the softness
even when the shuttle lands, it wont bounce as high as other hard floors
very good shock absorption

yup my bad, sorry, its nanoPOWER 9900 , im not sure how it feels compared to yonex, but to me its still good for RM90, very balanced.

so no need to wear those shoes with gel/air technology one also not problem loh?

RM10/h for all the time
seems like KL rate is more exp...
lagi good to play in my uni hall.. free

so is it consider a good surface?? the best court i ever played is south quay and of course, the most expensive 1 compared to other place i've played

haha...if n50 or 55 is arn 600++ if i not wrong..haha...lining tb nano quite good la..hav to choose is a,b,c..
