Anyone? Im looking to get my hands on the latest carlton, proace and RSL racquet tried to check their webbie, but couldnt find the info i wanted
HI louis, In JB their stock is not updated at all They only update on the clones For those more prominent brand like yonex, carlton and rsl etc JB is not the place
Before i posted this thread i already went to all the shops in JB wat i found was pathetic. they only have old models. and they are not well informed as well. they keep telling me to buy clones
Friday. 24 June 2005 i went there becoz u told me he got new carlton racquet i went there and have a look and was greatly dissappointed to see the numbers and models of carlton racquet he has that is why i posted this thread btw, i posted this thread this morning (25June2005) i not only went to megasport, i went to hongli, larkin, majidee, permai sports all don have the latest carlton racquet.. im sooo dissappointed im hoping to get some help here
the worst thing is that he megasport guy keep recommending other clones to me when i wanted a carlton racquet.
When others already give up Carlton racquet but what make you so desperate to get a Carlton? No doubt that after YONEX, CARLTON is the second reputable brand in the badminton industries but how do you know that Carlton has launched new racquet? Even in this forum, no one has mentioned it long time ago. I bet you're a die hard fan to the Airblade series, aren't you?
not really die hard but i just wanted a carlton racquet. i never said that i know carlton has lauched new racquet. that is the reason why i posted this thread to ask around.
im only sure that megasport and other shops in JB dont carry them. tat one im very sure. are u the megasport guy?joseph tan? is that u?
no lah, that guy has no time to on-line. he he. part of the reason you can't see carlton is because nowdays consumer will only go for either real YONEX stuff or clone. (Reason : $$$) I don't see any players (amateur) using Carlton anymore. Most of them is using ProAce, Apacs, Fleet, Yang Yang and Yonex. I intend to get a ProAce Widebody 55, have you ever tried this racquet before? p/s : why don't you try Wilson n-code series??
im actually looking at proace abs power1000 that one looks good and feels good too not sure abt widebody55 though
Both Mega Sport and Hongli (Sentosa) have the ProAce ABS Power 1000 but what is the difference if compare with other racquet? Somemore this racquet is quite expensive - RM230 ~ RM250-00. I don't understand why this racquet is so expensive. At this price, I rather buy Wilson n-code series. I was told that this ABS 1000 is an defensive racquet.
Hunghing, have you ever tried those racquet with titanium mesh frame? I would like to know how does it feel if compare to conventional racquet.
abs means added balance system. dunno wat it means but according to joseph, the racquet is designed in a way that allow minimum air resistance when u swing it. if u take a closer look at the head of the racquet. there are small columns around the racquet "ring". that according to joseph, allows air to flow thru smoothly hence lower air resistance nop i havent tried titanium yet
you think this design has lower air resistence compare with the Carlton Airblade Frame? I don't think so. Maybe that ABS frame is meant for better "control". You better wait until next coming month because I was told that there is a new racquet from ProAce called "Energy ..."
HI Louis, I got one ABS 1000, bought in last year december. it is a light but haevy head racket. but i am not using it as string lost tension liao. DUN be conned by other people that this racket is defensive racket, it is not bad, can produce decent power, really. One more thing, i wan to sell this racket. Please let me know if anyone interested. Selling at RM 100, cause got scratch mark after clashes. Overall a performance racket, clear from base to base no problem at all.
