Vendor websites in Malaysia

Anyone know of any English language vendor websites in Malaysia selling racquets?

A friend of mine is from Malaysia, his brother will be returning there for a visit pretty soon and he offered to have his brother pick me up a racquet if I wanted. I have heard that prices in K.L. are extremely inexpensive and I wanted to see how cheap, in light of the fact that (a) I will be getting my new Carlton soon and may not have a real justification for getting another new racquet this soon; and (b) I don't want to impose too much on my friend's family, especially if I am not going to save that much.

Thanks for your responses.

 

Thanks guys, but I think there might have been some confusion - I was looking for a website for a store that sells badminton racquets, not for the site of a racquet manufacturer. I would like to see how various brands of racquets are priced in Malaysia. If you know of any such sites, please give me the internet addresses for them. Thank you.

Thanks Kelvin. I was giving some consideration to a Yang Yang (maybe their Iso 900 clone) but also just wanted to look at some pricing of other racquets to get a feel for how much of a bargain I could expect.

Kelvin, thanks for the offer. Your friendly invitation to become a racquet procurer for us North Americans might result in having to purchase a large trunk to carry all of everyone else's racquets around with you, which won't be too fun if you are backpacking on this trip. And the customs duties, too! Make sure your generosity doesn't cause you too many regrets.

I am thinking I may have to postpone purchasing another racquet for a while, notwithstanding the present opportunities to get one cheaply in SE Asia. One of my best friends from college just e-mailed me that he is getting married this summer in Vermont, which isn't exactly a major hub for discount air travel. He also will be taking vacation the week before his wedding and wants to go golfing, hiking, etc... with the guys. To get my girlfriend to come with me, I may have to turn the trip into a moderately costly vacation, rather than just a quick weekend. Thus, I probably should be saving money for the trip rather than making additional luxury purchases. I think I will just wait for my new Airblade 900 to arrive from Carlton and be satisfied with that for a while.

Kelvin, if you plan on playing in Japan, you better count on using your entire racquet collecting budget just for one round of golf. I read in one of the golf magazines that many Japanese golfers used to fly to Honolulu for a four or five day golf vacation, play at the best Hawaiian courses ($200-$300 per round) and the total trip, including airfare, hotel, green fees, food, etc..., would cost less than one round at one of the more prestigious courses in Japan.
