    Heard from a shop owner it isnt very durable so recommended that i gave it a miss...can consider Proace ABS Power1000...light and durable racquet but cost around 235RM for package with strings + grip + Big Bag...

    Hi LouisW, i dont quite you....you mean 235RM for the package is very expensive? Anything wrong with the price or the racquet?

    I mean the price is difference by RM100 (approx. SGD$40).

    the reason I get shock is because most of the shop at JB is selling at RM230 ~ RM250. And this shop at KOMTAR is only selling at RM150-00.

    Such a huge difference !!!!!

    actually, the string (ex. BG66) only cost RM20-00, Grip (say Fleet) cost only RM4 ~ RM5), Bag (free item from the manufacturer)

    all together only = RM 25-00 extra.

    RM 175-00 vs. RM 235-00 = Diff. by RM 60-00 :eek:

    Really? You mean the bag is always free? Cos i enquired a number of racquets and those without package usually come without bag. Only if package then got strings...if buy seperate dont have bag one...correct me if i am wrong. Btw where is KOMTAR?

    vince,

    KOMTAR is actually the white color 3 storey building next to City Square. Go to 3rd floor and you can find a big sport shop at the end. I was there yesterday and I felt surprise that they have a lot of racquets. (RSL, Apacs, Fleet, Protech, ProAce & Wilson n-code series)

    I'm currently using Carbonex 20 Special (BG80, 23Ibs), Apacs Nano-Power 505 (Gosen Root Aermet, 24Ibs) and a clone of AT800 (BG68ti, 25Ibs but loss the tension a lot) :)

    sorry, I have give you the wrong information.

    the ABS-power 1000 cost you RM150-00 (string & bags is not included).

    sorry!!!!!!!

    but I still recommend you to that shop. shop name is "Permai Sport ...."

    he can offer you based on what package you want/requirement.

    p/s : I bought a RSL Millenium 5 Energy Ti 5180 from him.
