    Well yeah, the guys that started adidas badminton are the same guys that are managing adidas martial arts equipments. So I'm pretty sure most of the new distributors will also be distributing their martial art stuff.

    Let's hope he makes it past the first round, unlike Axelsen. :p

    :p Indeed of course [​IMG], it was so long ago I read the name Christophe Desalles it has already blurred in my memory along with the rest of the Adidas Badminton stuff 28.gif 28.gif

    But I also meant it as a hint to find out who your local MA distributor is to see if they have some news [​IMG];). I knew the old local one here a little but it seems there is a new distributor for Adidas since 2007 and I don't see them (either really) picking it up ...
    The NZ one also seems to be the Martial Arts distributor but the UK one isn't (Racket something ...).

    To be precise it's: Racket Sports Europe (covering UK & Ireland) domain name registered is racketsportseurope.co.uk (functioning email but no homepage)

    Anyhoo UK is not of interest :p, we already know the details more or less (July) and the twitter account can already be followed (@adidasBaddersUK)

    KWCC =
    kwcc.ws (no homepage)

    The birdie tubes remind me of the past prisoner uniform.

    Apparently more variety of small bags.

    the bag collection is quite extensive.

    the clothing selection is also quite extensive.

    i am still drooling over the stringing machine.

    Does sock towel grip mean it slides on the handle?

    Yup, so you can take it off and wash it before your next session, or replace it with a spare when it becomes too wet.
    On the downside, if it slides on to the handle, it also slides off the handle.

    Arrived from S-H after 10 days of disappointed shopping experience...
    The package just appeared on my desk today without any emails, without any tracking numbers
    I was so sad yesterday thinking there will not be deliveries on Sat...

    But...

    It does not matter anymore! It's here!

    S-H don't have Adidas strings, settled with some NBG98 for the time being

    Yes! it's Super Super Nice and Super Light!
