[xXAceecAXx]

when i was at sportexperts (in Ottawa-cause thats where i live) i saw most or if not most all of the high end Yonex racquets costing about $299.99!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

why do they sell them for such a high price? can anyone tell me?

Most people who know where to shop, don't go to Sport Experts!

i was stuck on that delimma as well ( i live in ottawa as well). In the end, i buy online. If you want Fast, reliable and best of all...free strings + fast shipping in ontario, I would reccommend you buy from maxposrts.ca. Ive bought from them many times and all i can say is A+++ service + shipping. Best of all, they're located in Toronto so it will take about 2 days for the racket to arrive =)

dont go to sport check.. at700 for $200.. without string.. before tax..
ns4.5k.. $190.. without string.. before tax..

i've checked like 2 sportchecks in ottawa and neither of them have high end yonex rackets

[dukke88]

ya i never see high end rackets at sport check... last time i check i saw a nano 800s and an arm250s..those were like the highest end rackets sold there.

[Midget_Boy]

ARC-7 is 249.99 at all SportCheks nationwide, :p

[dukke88]

nope not in the couple of sportcheks i've been too :P

[ray_mond]

sometimes they carry the highend.. try the sportcheck in scarborough town centre.. ridiculous pricing though..

at700 @ 200 with pricing.. that would mean.. 220 with stringing outside.. 250.80 with tax! :o

what about in ottawa? which sportchecks carry highend yonex rackets?

none. Sports experts @ Rideau centre sells the BK Vortex as their highest end racket ( no yonex). Mark @ Sports Experts bayshore sells the highest end BK/Yonex. I think he is more knowledgeable on badminton. And you can try to get him to lower the price a little. Also, you can ask if he is selling any of his demo's.

but for what i know tenniszon is about the best for montreal, i love it really ;) bough 2 racket from em (bk feather xl, at 250) the feather for my friend though:P no complain.
Watch for some tennis related shop in ottawa maybe theres gonna be some badminton there , a nice way to make money since they have the tring machine for tennis badminton isnt a lot more. so they probably will have rackets or squash there

[BennyC]

Oh yeah! Try the Ra centre...they have much more variety of rackets in general.

[xXAceecAXx]

oh yea!!! but....i live to far away from RA

[BennyC]

well the only places in ottawa to get a variety of high end rackets are Sports Experts @ bayshore and Ra centre. Other than that, theres no where else in Ottawa.
