    Still think the spiderman bag and racket combo looks the best so far.

    100% legit. Ordered from them many times. And afaik they are also part of the Victor stringing team for some SS tournaments.

    I can attest to their stringing quality. Usually air parcelled rackets with stringing done, in my experience so far, lose quite a bit of the tension and feel but the time they reach me. RF is one of the very few places with a fantastic string job that is playable for nearly a month right out of the box. To be fair I had aerosonic done so getting 1 month of constant bashing out of it is quite satisfactory.

    Interested in that bag but how are the racquets carried in it?

    Is it full length?

    Racket force can't send it to mainland China! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I've now got to go through some Taiwanese connections to try to get one. If that doesn't work I'm going to take a day trip to Hong Kong or Taiwan and get it myself. That's how bad I want this, haha.

    I got someone who is heading over to Taiwan this weekend to pick it up for me. It's already bought and paid for, just waiting for the release. Growing u in the 80's when Star Wars was still fringe and everything was a collectible, I don't mess around or leave things to chance! :p

    Great, I'm expecting some pictures soon! And do you plan to actually use it on court or leave it untouched in your Star Wars collection vault? :)

    The good thing - if it's really a JS10 underneath that Darth Vader suit, you'll get a sensational racket too!

    Oh, I'm gonna be running around making the lightsaber noise in every game weeks! Even if the racket was crappy I'd be willing to lose a few games just to have darth vader with me on the court.

    I've already been showing the picture of it to everyone in my club and talking about it, and the reply I usually get is "Cool! It's a movie...with robots? Something in space, right?" Apparently I am alone in my fandom...

    If the racket can glow, I'll take one.

    haha, yeah, those Jedi badminton players are classic.

    I do feel they missed an opportunity with a light up handle, but let's face it it would throw the balance of the racket off and I appreciate it is a real racket. I think most star wars fans have bought a lightsaber, played with it daily for a week, and never used it again aside from Halloween or showing a friend or something. At least this racket will last once the novelty wears off.
