    Well, i think there are a couple of place, like there is one shop at Bras Basah Complex (forget the name of the shop, but i remember that the sign board is white in color and the whole shop sells sports goods and equipment) and also another one at Queensway Shopping Centre. Maybe you can go to this places and have a look....

    Have a nice day!!!

    BG 88Ti can't be found in S'pore yet. 10 & 10 in Bras Basah sometimes bring in stuff from Japan though (Japan strings, shirts, shorts, etc).

    As for stringing of rackets, Music Book Room (Bras Basah), Kemin Sports (Beauty World Plaza), Safra Toa Payoh and the sports shop at Jurong East Sports Hall are good IMO.

    Queensway do not have the strings and also don't have SHB series shoes. The rackets there are also expensive. The best place to get badminton stuff is from Bras Basah Complex.

    The prices charged by the shops are similar. Also depends if you're a regular or new customer.

    That's ok. Usually it's about $18. $15 is considered cheap. $12+ for regulars.

    Are you talking about the new shop in TSH? I've not tried that before. But if you're talking about the Sintec shop which shifted out to the building opp the road, their stringing is pretty decent.

    Yup, the shop name is Flymax.
    I strung my MP 90 at their shop before, tension at 27/26 I can only say their stringing is not bad.
    But i would rather you go and try the Sintec shop which move to Telepark.
    Also for your info regarding the 50% off for the second racquet restring, the Sintec Shop also has this promotion.

    You have to be a regular (string there for years). You can't just walk in the shop and demand $12. It won't work.

    I can't specify the shop name...... otherwise everyone will start asking them why they're charging $15-$18 while I'm getting it for $12.

    hmmm it means it's not 12 bucks. if you really get the price at 12 bucks, share with us, what is the benefit you get by keeping the shop name for yourself?

    It's in Bras Basah and it's not Music Book Room. Go figure.

    And pls read my message clearly. I said you can't get it at that price if you're not a regular customer there. If you don't know what I meant, suit yourself.
