    His website has some quite low racquet prices, realli good deals and stuff. However, his pics on ebay are of racquets with some funky lookin racquet covers. Nebody kno how legit this guy is? Good chance he's selling fakes?

    btw, he's selling mainly (if not all) yonex. a buddy of mine even got a email from this dude about his website. a little too good of a deal?

    Do a search. I believed that a number of BF posters bought from Swijaya and apparently a number of the BF posters from Singapore knows the fellow.

    Concerned about the pics? Why don't you ask Swijaya to mail you close up pics. His prices are lower because they are all SP racquets (destined for SE Asia). NOTE: lower price DO NOT EQUATE TO lower quality.

    hi oranjmaan,

    we are only selling genuine yonex rackets and will not and will never be selling any fake yonex rackets.

    yonex rackets' cover are not always the same, it would change (for example: Ti-7 firstly it was the black heavy cover with wording "titanium" across, then the black thermos cover, follow by what we have on ebay)

    Those cover are the latest design for titanium series.

    I could not put pictures of the rackets from different angles to ebay, because it's quite expensive $0.15/picture ...

    swijaya0101 is a nice and very helpful guy.

    They sell genuine rackets on their site.

    As for the badminton covers, we get alot of different covers for the same type of rackets depending on the time you bought them.
    They just keep having new designs for the covers especially in asia.

    I can vouch for swijaya0101 that ALL his rackets are genuine stuff from Yonex. Got some stuff fr him before. :)

    As for the covers, they differ according to geographical regions & batches of rackets. So don't bother abt covers.

    badmintonchain

    I just received an mp100 (3uG5) from badmintonchain.com a couple of days ago. Although I was a bit hesitant about ordering from Singapore before, I'd definitely recommend this store and will probably buy more stuff from it in the future. The delivery time was reasonably quick (2 1/2 weeks), it was better packaged than racquets I've received within the UK, it was genuine (serial no. is 4517030 010936SP) and, most importantly, it was c.65% of the price this racquet was being sold at in the UK earlier in the year.

    I can post pics. for the benefit of those who are still unsure whether to order from badmintonchain.

    So, three cheers for Sofian : Hip, hip, hooray! :D

    Had my doubts about Badmintonchain.com before due to unbelievable low prices, but after a lengthy wait I finally got my racquet. Sofian is a very pleasant dealer who patiently and promptly answered all my inquries. Very satisfied with the racquet, but more impressed with his after-sale service. I would definitely buy from them again.
