I was wondering if anyone has contacted the La fleche agent in Canada? I am interested in trying out the ti-500 and ti-600. I live in BC, does anyone know who I should contact for more info?

Go to the Equipment section and click on to the thread La Fleche Ti 500 racquet, and you can find what you are looking for.

The canadian contact doesn't really reply to email.......ever...... =/

I got a reply two days ago. Please check the other thread by Taneepak.

hmm,

i wonder why, maybe its due to shipping from overseas. but for the ti-500, luxis charges ~90CDN. the canadian guy charges 140CDN. =/

I originally got a price of $112 for the 500. Wonder what's changed.

So, if I am interested in buying the La fleche Ti-500 I shouldn't contact the canadian agent? It seems that its cheaper to get it overseas. So its only $90 CDN to buy it from Luxis? Including shipping?

555HKD ~ 90CDN

not include shipping.

What is the total cost to Vancouver (incl. tax, custom, etc)? Did you get it from LuxisSportNet? Thanks.

wow, that's a great deal... is that including shipping? I just got an email back from the La Fleche agent in Canada and it costs CDN$140 with strings and taxes included.

I've been hearing that Luxis is a better place to get it, is that where you got yours? and mine question is the same as CanuckBur's, how much to have it all included and shipped here? thank you.

The customs tax and duties will kill you. :crying:

at least, it killed me...:crying:

i just talk to ronnie ng, percy associate.



after shipping, 147.50 each. includes free BG-65. not bad, IMO.

ah....i forgot to ask =/

this is 4U version, with new grommet system, i dont think i mentioned that before

ah....i forgot to ask =/

As of this day, no Ti500 4U has the new grommet system. You are mistaking the four black plastic bumps at the 4 bottom grommets near the throat end as the new grommet system. The new grommet system will not allow two strings to pass through the bottom grommet no. 7 and will have a bell-shaped grommet at the bottom grommet 6.

oh, my bad.

will this have any effect on performance, or should i wait until the new grommets come out?

There're some ti-500 and ti-600 rackets in BBEsports store.
Welcom to our website.

There will be no discernible difference. You could be waiting for a long time.

oh ok, thanks for your help taneepak =D

No....I bought it at Inskysports when I was on vacation in Hong Kong couple months ago. I believe the store owner is also a forum member here. I'll message him and find out how much it'll cost for shipping and customs......hang on...

Hey Kitty!

How do you like the LF-500 so far? And haven't seen you around VRC lately! :D

Hello Pete!

We just kept missing each other! I was at the club last night and played quite some mixed double games and I played my last game against Schroedingcat too! It was Wednesday night and you're not there??!!! :eek:

Took me a lil' while to get used to the extra inch longer LF-500 racquet compared to my old racquet. I have the super lite version LF-500. I strung it at 22 lbs and it has a smaller than average sweet spot, but once I adjusted to the racquet, it's quite a powerful racquet!

Next time when I see you at the club, you test it out and let me know what you think. Hmmm.....but my racquet looks real girly...not sure if you dare play with it....the frame is light purple, red strings and red grip! :p

Kitty

and in another message, sounds like the store owner is suggesting getting the racquet from Vancouver dealer:

This is Ronnie's (one of the agents) reply 3 weeks ago (Burnaby, BC.)
"As to your question, the La Fleche Ti 500 is CDN$120 without strings if it
were to be picked up in Burnaby, BC."

Thank you very much Kitty, I will contact the Canadian Agent again for the details. I can probably save some money picking up the racquet here in Vancouver, too. Thank you for getting that information for me.
:rolleyes:

Actually, I was there but in the fitness room :D. I ended up doing cardio and weights. I am still on the post injury rehab list. So, I can't play yet.

TTT joined in later! He said your friend, Ray, played very well.

Yeah, I will try out your racquet the next time. Coming on Sat?

Thanks CanuckBur for the heads up. I just got the different prices straightened out today from the canadian la fleche agent Ronnie, as I didn't want to get ripped off, paying too much for the same racquet. He sent me some pictures to clarify what I wasn't sure about. The La Fleche ti-500 (2U and 3U) is $120 with taxes included. This racquet is red and black in color, with the telescopic shaft. The quoted price of the $140 with tax and strings is for the Ti-500 (4U) super light version. This one is purple and white in color and has rubber bumpers. Now that I have that straighted out, I don't feel that I was quoted a higher price:D I've order a Ti-500 4u from them, can't want to try it.:)

Hi smashtech! Have u brought the Ti-500 4u already? I just thinking to get one, is it good as u expect?

I can answer your question.

The first day when I tried it, it was about the same as my cab21 on the forehand and much more better in drives and backhand. I wasn't getting used to it so I sometimes cleared the birdie over the lines or my clears were too weak.

The second day I really like it a lot. It is more powerful than my cab21 in all areas. I can easily hit a clear to the back.

Cab21 is now my training racquet because it forces me to learn to hit a birdie accurately. The LF-500 SuperLight is my fun racquet or "lightsaber" :).

Hi smashtech! Have u brought the Ti-500 4u already? I just thinking to get one, is it good as u expect?

Yes, I've had the Ti-500 4U for about a month now. Its a really powerful racquet, especially for clears and smashes. But it took me awhile to get used to the control for drops at the net because of its light weight. I think I might get one for my girlfriend too as she has used mine a few times and likes the weight and color a lot. hehe;)
