Okey, the other alternative to grab your attention would be talking about *** and I really don't want to even go there especially after starting a thread about shorts which somehow led to my bum being exposed..metaphorically thank God! :)

Anyhow, Can you guys please tell me how much does it cost in your city and country to purchase an Isometric TiSP racquet, particularly SR or the SX (if there's price differences between the different models under this series)? I would like to know so I can gauge what's a reasonable price to pay for these racquets. Also, if some of you have special connections with the supplier of the racquets, can you then indicate whether the price is reduced due to that reason? :)

I really appreciate your contribution here..cheers! :)

The price for the racket is around 200 canadian dollars in Vancouver Canada. The price is the same for either the SA, SR, SS, and SX.

Well in Canada, a TISP would cost about $220 - $250 canadian dollars!!
That is really expensive compared to many other countries.

Oops, forgot to mention that I'm located in Ontario. And the price I quoted was to have everything included. Like strings and grip.

£80 here in the uk the new orange model includes manufacture strings

Shouldn't this be in the market place forum?

Well about a year and a half ago a friend of mine got me my Ti Swings (blue/black)for about 130 Australian dollars each, unstrung (which is cool since I hate prestrung racquets :P). This was in a "warehouse" in Singapore (no idea where abouts). Not sure what that works out to be in NZ dollars, I'm assuming lots (see attached joke ;))

I'll probably be in Singapore later this year anyway, so I'll get my friend to take me there so I can buy a couple more racquets for myself ;)

As a comparison, you can buy them in Oz for about $180 I think (though I've only ever bought one racquet in Australia because someone stole my cab 15 :P). I do know someone who bought an MP100 for $200, which sounded really cheap, however I don't like that racquet anyway.

Oh as for the skirts/shorts, I thought they were called Skots?


Dave, a young New Zealand tourist on his first visit to Amsterdam
locates the red light district and enters a large brothel.
The madam asks him to be seated and sends over a young lady to
entertain the client. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a
bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and
she gasps and runs away!
Seeing this, the madam sends over a more experienced lady to
entertain the gentleman. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a
bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and
she screams,"No!" and walks quickly away.
The madam is surprised that this ordinary-looking man has asked for
something so outrageous that her two girls will have nothing to do
with it. She decides that only her most experienced lady, Lola, will
do.
Lola looks a bit tired, but she has never said no and it doesn't seem
likely that anything would surprise her. So the madam sends her over
to Dave. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a
bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she
screams, "NO WAY, BUDDY!", smacks him as hard as she can, and
literally runs away!
Madam is by now absolutely intrigued, having seen nothing like this
in all her years of operating a brothel. She hasn't done the bedroom
work herself for a long time, but she did it for many years before
she got into management. She's sure she has said yes at one time or
another to everything a man could possibly ask for. The challenge is
irresistible.
She just has to find out what this man has wanted that has made her
girls so angry. And she sees a chance she can't pass up to show off
to her employees how good she was at what they do.
So she goes over to Dave and says that she's the best in the house
and she, herself, is available. She sits and talks with him. They
frolic a bit, giggle a bit, drink a little, and she sits in his lap.
And Dave leans forward and whispers in her ear, "Can I pay in New
Zealand dollars?"

A friend of mine dropped by the YY shop of World Trade Centre in Bangkok about two weeks ago and pick up one Ti SP SX (blue version) for me at Thai Bath 3,790.

This is a gift set that includes:

Ti swing Power SX G4.5 Blue (orange version is also available at same price)
String - BG66
Racket cover
Carrying bag
A pair of Sock

ti sp (sa,sr,ss,sx) SP version 770 in Hong Kong

It costs US 145 here in San Francisco...

In germany a new Ti SwingPower costs about 115-120 US$.
Insured shipping to Aus/NZ would cost appr. 30 US$.

I'm just about to post a thread for a Ti SwingPower
(that I want to sell) in the market place.

I want to sell it for 90 US$.
It's a SR blue version, in absolutely mint condition
(if I hadn't used it 10 minutes for testing, I could have said "brand new"),
newly strung with BG-80 at 20/22 lbs.

Just mail me, If you're interested.

I've already sold 8 rackets to 3 people (two from CA, one from US)on this forum.
For questions about my reliability, I can give you their email addresses.

Marky, Can you ask your friend to see if they have the ti 7 light over there in Bangkok at the world trade centre? many thanks

MP88:
I am afraid I will have to let you disappointed. This friend happened to be on a business trip and had a brief stay in Bangkok in the hotel near the WTC. He is now gone to another country to continue his tour.

(Side note: one sweet thing about the nowadays communication device is that he uses his cell phone, called me up direct from the YY shop in WTC and confirmed what exactly the racket I want.)

Perhaps fans in Bangkok can offer you this help. I understand that there used to be a badminton fan of nickname “BangkokPlayer” in this forum, who stationed in Bangkok.

Good luck.
