    I know this really isnt the forum to post this, but I have been looking for a new racket for some time. Does anyone know where in the Vancouver area/lower mainland area you can buy a racket other than the small chain store that sell entry level.

    I would prefer to buy a Victor racket but cant find a shop who actuall stocks them. Usually a store only sell 3-4 models of rackets and most are 79 bucks and under.

    Badminton specialty shop anywhere?

    Thanks GUYS!:crying:

    1. Tad's Sporting Goods at Granville and 70th have pretty good selections.
    2. Rackets and Runners at Oak and 22nd. Pricey, though.
    3. Abbies at Main and 20th (?).

    Both Tad and R&R allow you to take out a demo racket with a deposit, so you can try out rackets before you buy.

    Search the forum, as Winex West Canada and some other members have posted their phone contact as well.

    Yonex shuttles, from the familiar canisters, but don't know what speed though.

    Don't forget Clearone out in Richmond. They have Yonex and Forza racquets and bonus is there's no tax on the badminton gear.
