    Back in the 80s, Icuk Sugiarto of Indonesia was sponsored by Kawasaki. His most notable achievement was when he won the World Championships MS in 1983 at the age of 21. Back then Kawasaki was among the better known brands among Yonex, Carlton, Pro Kennex and their racquets were quite in demand then. Nowadays, Kawasaki seems to have fade into oblivion and not much have been heard about their products or any product development they have made recently.

    Icuk is the father of the current Indonesian player, Tommy Sugiarto.

    Have any of you guys ever tried these rackets? Good looking rackets i reckon. Price seems affordable too, about the same price(in Ringgit Malaysia) as Victor rackets.

    Solid piece of racket, good control and power(abit demanding though).
