i am thinking of gettin a gosen racket...can anyone tell me which one to get?shuld i get a yonex or a gosen?:confused:

I have been using Gosen 3400 Aermet Gavun racket for the last 1 year. It is a great racket for double player. The racket is light head, but, it has great power and control.

Currently, top of the line racket from Gosen (in Thailand) is Gosen Aermet 5700. It is stiff with a little head heavy. It provides massive power in attacking. Good news !!! the new model from Gosen called " Gosen 6900 Boonsak Signature" will be available in Thailand in Jan '07.

some pictures of the Gosen Aermet 6900

Enjoy:)

Thank you www.parrotsports.com (http://www.parrotsports.com) (Authorized Agent of Gosen in Thailand) for those pictures

I tried the 5700 and 3700. They are good but not great. They just feel different. Best for you to test yourself and decide what you like.

Nice pics!

believe Parrot Sports is near First Sports. Will pay them a visit next time I visit Bangkok.

oh ya....and btw wads the lastest model for gosen in the market nw?someone told me gosen roots 1700 is the latest?is it true?he said tt racket couldnt be found in the market as tt racket is only sponsored to players and he saes he has only one piece left...tt guy wans to sell me at SGD$150...is it worth it? or shuld i buy a yonex amortec700 at SGD$160? thks for ur views!=)

Get yourself a Gosen racket, it's a keeper!:D

keeper?wad do u mean?lol

the lastest gosen model that available in Thailand is the Aermet X700 series, 1700 2700 3700 and 5700, the higher number in front, the more stiffness they are. So the Aermet 1700 that bertbrainz mentioned seems to be the medium stiffness shaft come with gavun 2 kick point but the thing that make 1700 and 2700 difference from the two high end model (3700 and 5700) is the latter comes with "Vibless Grommet" technology. In terms of price (Baht) the Aermet 1700 racket is quoted around 3,200 Baht, equivalent to 89 USD, however, we normally get 35-40% discount from retail racket shops behind Supacharasai National Stadium. So the net price should be around 1,950 Baht or 54 USD.

I thought the 5700 was the latest model, looks like 6900 is a newer and better racket, Boonsak Model. Very nice looking racket, if you get one, let us know how it feels to play with.

wow...is it possible to ship to singapore?how much will it cost in all?for the 1700...

and is the 1700 head heavy?

and is the 1700 head heavy?

The Aermet 1700 is rated as a racket for all around player. So it may be even balanced or slightly head heavy racket. If you are looking for something more agressive why don't you try the Aermet 5700 one. The 5700 has balance point 29.5 +/- 2 and also able to hold string tension up to 30 Lbs. , so, it is made for hard hitter pretty sure.

Actually, I'm not working for Gosen dealers or any racket shop in Thailand. I'm just ordinary badminton player but I prefer rackets from Victor and Gosen rather than that of the famous one.

then any idea how i can get the 5700?cause i cant seem to find them in singapore....='(

Umm...that's very difficult for you to get it, unless one of you friends has a chance to visit BKK, then, you may ask your friend to help you.

That is the easiest way i can think of. SO I'm sorry if it cannot help you that much.

lol...wad abt gettin it for me and ship it to sg?=)

Sorry to hijack this thread, any idea whether the Roots 5000 TI is still available in Thailand?

Search the web for Gosen Rackets.

i just bourght an aermet 6900 from HK..but mine is burgundy colored ..have not tested it yet...this thursday :) i can feel that it is head heavy... i will post a report then...wahhhh tired ....

This site (http://www.e78.com.hk/sports.htm) out of Hong Kong seems to have the latest Gosen. There is also a 7900 (http://www.gosen.jp/racket/pdf/kaigai2007_1112.pdf), supposedly, but not even e78 has that and e78 doesn't have prices for any of their racquets, that I can see. Keep trying the online shops from this thread (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20030).

The new Gosen racquets don't seem to be very easy to find. We have x700 series here in Korea but they are expensive(S$199 for the 1700 and S$382 for the 5700). We don't have the 6900 yet, as far as I know. Bbeshop/sports and Luxissports (http://www.luxissportnet.com/showroom/model/T0002/templateCategoryProductList.do?ParentId=1144361983 820&editCurrentLanguage=1143969948163&webId=1143969948145&currentPage=2&module=Product) have no new Gosen. Neither does puppysports. Mattshop never has Gosen. Shuttlehouse might have Gosen but since they are based in Japan, they only seem to have the Japanese line (http://shuttle-house.com/page_top_ENGLISH/MAIL_ORDER/Meker_Catalog/GOSEN_07/GOSEN_07_5.html)which, if you look at it, looks an awful lot like the 2005 catalogue. It has nothing from the x700 series or the 6900.

believe Parrot Sports is near First Sports. Will pay them a visit next time I visit Bangkok.Can anyone confirm this? I can't read the address on this website (http://www.parrotsports.com) but elsewhere on the forum, it is implied that First Sports is on the north-south street running down the west side of the National Stadium.

Oh, strike that. I just saw this post (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=491707&postcount=138). I'll just head to the nat'l stadium

event,

There are 3 addresses in Thai on the website. Have been to only two Parrot Sports branches - one near National Stadium (Sanam Suk) and the other within walking distance of Asia Hotel (Ratchathewee Skytrain Station). The prices are lower at the National Stadium branch but the range of Gosen stuff is wider at the Asia Hotel branch.

The Gosen rackets (limited range) are also available at First Sports.

I have the GOSEN ROOTS GAVUN AERMET 7900 pro model (86g, 290 =/-5mm balance, stiff, max tension 28 lbs). I got it at www.badmintonalley.com (http://www.badmintonalley.com). It's a pretty good power racket, but defense is a little slow. It just doesn't seem to transition well. Essentially, when i play against tougher competition I don't use it.

I found Parrot Sports, First Sports and a few others on the same street, the one running north-south along the west side of the National Stadium. Great selection of Gosen racquets, bags, and shoes and one store, I forget the name, had some Victor stuff as well.

does anyone knows about gosen miralite....(if i'm correct that the name)....i saw three models namely miralite 77, 87 & 97.....look quite interesting with the carbon handle....(i think that what it says on the rackets...
