    HI vince_kan,

    Try to buy the price more than $50.
    Think the quality will be better.
    last time 1 bought 1 for playing, within 1 month the frame bended without collision.
    The price abt $25 - $30.
    The model i forget but the color is in green , light weight.

    Is it the AM-10SQ, olive green with a blue cover? I have 1 too but it is quite okay. Can clear quite well @ 20lb tension, though lack some power in smashing. Bought for $29.90 @ Sportslink. My impression of Ashaway is quite good. On 2 occassions, I swung the racket with the cover and hit the ceiling of my house (quite low ceiling). I was relieved that the frame is still in shape.

    Possibly I was quite lucky to get a better made one :)

    RE: racket

    Hi lohtw ,

    think is that one, with a titanum word at the shaft which i also bought there.
    oh, mine is a green cover to the shaft.
    mine i think hit too many times to the frame while playing, which causes the frame to bend.
    But actulally, that racket is gd, which is light and easy to use.
    too bad :confused:

    i use ashaway t-5 its 4U and slightly head light. bought at £40 (dunno what that is in USD/CD) mine could take 25 lb, i find it easy to use. alot of people from my club use ashaway as the owners of the club sells at discounted rates. i think ashaway discontinued the t- range but have clones of most higher end MP and AT (dont kno about NS) yonex rackets.

    hi yellow. For proace racket, so far i know only 10&10 at bra basha complex selling variety of proace, apacs and protech rackets. anyway i think tat uncle is a swinder. For the nanokelvar and the ash wood series racket i cant comment much since i nv play wif them at all. I believe the ash wood series is cheaper than the nanokelvar by ard $20.

    Since your coach is sponsored by Ashaway, I suggest that you demo some of the models that he is carrying. Getting a new Ashaway racket through your coach may save you around S$50.
