    I was wondering, are there any MP-33s left to be sold in Calgary(As of this day of this post, also I don't order items online)? I can't seem to find any, and I really want one. I know that they are discontinued, or may be very soon, but if there is a small chance that any retailer in Calgary still has any, I would like to know. Or even so, should I attempt to buy a MP-33 now, or wait until it's replacement comes out? Im not sure, but any information would be helpful, thanks.

    2 weeks ago i saw mp 33 and mp99 for sale 25% off retail at calgary winter club's pro shop. Give them a call. Also call What's Your Racket, they will give discount on discontinued models for sure.

    Also, I only see one phone number for the Calgary Winter Club, is there a single phone number for their sports shop or an extension? And the phone number for What's your racket(lol, sorry, but I can't find any phone numbers)?

    Sorry to bother you yet again, but I just looked at a map, and 14th Street is a very long street. Could you tell me perhaps where "What's your Racquet and Ski" is a bit more detailed? Like perhsp, on 14th street SW, which 2 communities are to the left and right of that shop? Or perhaps tell me the nearest intersection of that shop(such as the nearest ave.), so I can pin point the location of the shop. Also I hear that "Lindsay Park Sports Center" has a few badminton supplies to sell, is it worth going to? LoL, I don't know since I live in the NE, and I'm not old enough to drive, so I have to find the exact locations and know for sure if they are worth going to, or else my dad would be mad he wasted a full tank of gas.

    depending on where you live, if you get downtown, just find the #2 bus, and it will take you along 17th ave SW heading towards 14th street. get off at the stop at 14th, just after the Mcdonalds, and head north on 14th street for 2 blocks, and you'll literally walk into the sign for what's your racket.

    so essentially 14th st is just 2 blocks north of 17th ave SW

    simple to find.

    Hope this helps

    if u travel by car from the NE, take memorial drive and head west, pass the Louise Bridge, take the 14 South turn off, turn right on 11 Avenue, find a parking spot. U can walk to WYR store. 11 Avenue is one way, u can park on either sides.

    Thanks, I'm going today, and I'm pretty sure that I know the way. But in case I don't find one at the CWC or WYRAS, are there other good sporting goods stores in Calgary that sell good badminton racquets?

    Well today I went to the CWC, and there were 2 mp-33's one strung and one unstrung. There was no 25% off, and I wasn't a member, so it was 160 dollars +GST. That was over my budget, so I just left. And when I went to WYRS, it was closed. Closed on Sundays and Mondays(And I had this monday off too). *Sigh*

    Well I guess theres always next saturday to go to WYRS and try that Golf Store you mentioned. Thanks anyways.

    Could I also have the address and phone number of "Glencoe's Pro Shop?".

    Perhaps if I can't find a MP-33 at a good price, ill just go look for another. I wanted MP-33 because it seemed to be a good balanced racket at a good price. What I really wanted was a MP-88, but I guess thats too expensive, lol. Or maybe a ISO Ti Swing Power or Cab20M if I can find them at comparable prices.

    So even if I'm not a member of the CWC, but just a drop in guest I can still buy at member price? It said something like:

    Member Price: $141.00
    Non-Member Price(or Regular Price, can't remember) $160.00
