Someone at my local club is selling a VT 80 for $100, with 2 paint chips. I tested it today and it felt stiff, however my other concern is that the racket is gripped so that the serial number and description isn't visible. I questioned him and he replied that the gripped the racket that way. Should I purchase the VT 80 (knowing it's authenticity is ambiguous) simply for the price or perhaps, wait until I reach a high enough level to optimally use this racket.
you can ask him to open the grip and take a look the cone code and shaft serial after that post it here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...nquiries-(no-ebay-s-or-online-auction)/page20
