    If you search you can find an older thread on this here. Also, hidden in the New Kason Gear for FHF/CY thread you can see some talk about it, here.

    PT = Professional Training

    I believe that they're basically training racket versions of the normal F9 and C7.

    I have F9 PT and N50ii, just compare the frame shape, shape etc, look very similar. So maybe F9 PT is Kason version of N50ii? :)

    Regular F9 and N50-II might be similar. But it has already been stayed that PT is the training version, so no the rackets will not be the same playability-wise even though the design is similar.

    PT is in different color than the regular ones, i'm really interested in getting one but i can't decide which one to buy, C7 or F9

    I got a C7 pt. Feels noodley and pretty flexy, don't think it's stiff like normal C7 i supposed to be. Doesn't feel too expensive either, IMO you'd be better off buying a lesser brand racket for the same price. I suppose it's for training but it just feels like a low end HH and soft-medium racket at a higher price.

    China lol. BUT...product doesn't feel fake. I've used fakes before and this is at least a step up from those. The shop I went to had everything Li-Ning/Kason from the low ends all the way to N80 caliber. The stringer there was good and knew to string the cross at higher tension. I didn't spot anything that looked shady, price was equivalent to about 100 USD and the BG65 lettering isn't fading, so it seems legit. Bought some Kason birds, no problem with those.
    The racket itself doesn't feel hollow like some of the fakes; shock absorbtion is the best I've seen, but I just don't like the flexiness much. It's not unplayable though

    100 USD for a "training" version? Wow, expensive. Seems almost overpriced considering you can get the "real" versions for only like 135 in HK, and I thought LN/Kason were cheaper in China..
