Ever seen this Yonex bag?

I agree with LB. Also, if you are looking for a cheap bag, you can get an HiQua or ProAce. As I posted before, get a real yy tennis bag that holds more than 6 badminton racquet for $20! There are cheap alternitives and there are cheap Sh*tty fakes! In the same splace you buy the fake bag, you can prob buy a no name brand as bad as the fake and cheaper. If you knowingly buy a fake, stop lying to yourself. If you keep unknowingly buy fakes countinously, stop being stupid. If you knowingly buy a fake to showoff, don't play badminton because this is a real sport, not a fashion runway!

First of all I don't advocate purchasing fake badminton items. However some of the "holier than thou" preaching that's going on in this thread smacks of hypocrisy. Sounds like it's now become a moral issue. In the ideal world no one would deal with fake item vendors, steal or cheat. But in reality most of us have had a brush with these incidents, knowlingly or not. Put your hand up if you haven't purchased or watched a pirated DVD. Has anyone not downloaded music from the internet without paying? What about making a copy of your friend's software for your own computer? Night markets - any and everything you buy from there are probably fake. These are all ILLEGAL but we seem to turn a blind eye (mostly) to it. Don't say if he's doing it, it's OK for me too. My point is we carry out (illegal) activities that much of society already accepts as the norm. We don't think twice about it. What we should think twice about is flaming others for commiting a "crime" such as buying a fake badminton bag when we ourselves could be culpable. As for the bag purchasing incident it's been blown waaaaay out of proportion.

I'll tell you this though, you put your racquet in your bag, any bag -fake or original- heck, it doesn't even have to contain something - leave it out in the sun - either the bag gets stolen or you get sun burnt. No one will willingly leave their bag, be it empty or not out in the sun, at least I won't

Sigh....

Guys, I don't know why you insist on continuing this, at no time did I say don't buy original bags, I am only pointing out that sometimes practicality dictates that we consider cheaper alternative which will be just as functional as the original. Obviously this is my personal point of view. I never claim that my point of view is the only correct view, nor am I in any way trying to ram this down anyone's throat. You got your views and opinions about things, I respect that. I got mine so I hope you can reciprocate by respecting it also. It doesn't mean you accept my views as correct, - bec. the point of the matter is no person's view is absolutely correct - just different.

I believe Yonex uses a special material that protects the racquets from heat. But hey, if I am going to buy a fake yonex clone bag for a price of a real one, which would you prefer :P

Try it out then with your authentic bag.

I don't know why you would buy a fake bag for the price of a real one- Read my posts again sir, I never said I'll buy a fake bag for the price of a real one. Fakes or clones are usually much cheaper than the real ones.

Thank you sir!! And I agree completely that the whole incident has been indeed blown way out of proportion. I don't know why all these ruckus about a fake BAG, when people here in this forum discuss about buying and owning knockoffs racquet. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy a Fake bags. Anyway, this is the last time I'll post about the bag thing so I hope that this will just die a natural death. It ain't worth it here to air your own personal views.
