I was just wondering if there are any store here in US sells RSL rackets. If not, why does RSL not try to promote their rackets in the growing badminton community of US.

IMHO, they are one of the most durable rackets out there, at least 2 or 3x the durability of a yonex racket. i clashed an RSL with a Yonex and broke the Yonex into 2 pieces. :D Yonex was brand new, my RSL has seen bad days and still survived :p

bump, i want to get my hands on a ti68000 to see if i want to change it for my at500 (too head heavy for me)

i found a guy, Andy Tran. he is in los angeles and trains ppl at san gabriel valley badminton club. i dun remember his contact but i think u can find it at www.badrus.com (http://www.badrus.com) or u can find him at sgvbc. he has rsl rackets. try them out =) i tried it and i liked the nova 6180 too bad i have insufficient money at the moment. either i buy a racket or 10 tubes of birdies (nice birdies) i chose birdies first cuz u can't play baddy without birdies but u can still play with an old racket :p

hm...that's kinda far because I'm at Davis right now and I'm not coming home soon either.

if u really wanna try it then u'd have to buy it if u do not want to go to la =P or u can wait a bit until u go to LA =P u can always talk to andy, maybe he'll have a return policy or something? i dunno the details. i was down in la by chance so i tried out some of the rackets. i do not believe i tried out the 6900 but i did try the 6800 and it felt different from me. probably because it was a more well rounded racket and light that i wasn't used to swinging so my timing were all off.
