    :confused: I have a look on some Prince Racquet.. I notice that the layout of the words, the specification, the shape of the Racquet are very similar to my Fischer racquet..

    Do you guy think the Fischer = Prince?? :confused:

    Fischer and Prince are too different brands without any relationship, actually they are competitors in Tennis racket market.

    As I know Fischer and Prince's badminton racket are made in China, so there should be a factory getting Fischer and Prince orders as OEM projects.

    I bought a Fischer Pro No.1 in previous years and it's details (small letters.....) are quite similar with my Carlton Airblade Tour, I believe they should be come from same manufacturer.

    which FT are you using ? i understand there are a few FT models which is separated by the color on the head of the frame. i heard the silver colour is top of the line followed by RED.

    @slater.. wei.. PJ guy.. me work in PJ.. :) I am using the Red one..

    I never see any other type exept the one I own.. :sweat: ..

    very flexible racquet.. 4U.. very light.. good for clearing,drop ball.. But I guess not powerful enough for smash.. But I just love to use it.. :D

    Not powerful ??? well, i have the green one which has slightly larger hitting area than the rest, more flexible and head heavy. I find the smashing power is on par with my MP-88 :D... sometimes even better :D

    I have the Red one, the blue one, and my bro is using the green one. i find the green one is good for smashing. the blue is so-so..and the red has high manouvrebility . was told the silver colour is top of the line, but they are no longer in production as the newer models are coming out. All in all, they're cheap(if compared to yonex or even wilson). what else can you expect.
    i used apacs armorpower before. bought it for RM120 per piece. What a crappy piece of racket. I broke 4 in a year. that would amount to RM480 a year. i'd rather use that money to buy 2 good and reliable racket.

    your racket is fully red in colour. however mine is only red at the frame. the shaft is black in colour. so are the rest of the rackets. i think my red one cost Rm220 with string. the blue is around RM170 or Rm180. i can't remember.

    I own the GREEEEN one..... although the colour suggest that it's weird to have it on your hand, but it looks very cool with white or navy string and white or grey grip. MOST IMPORTANTLY, it's a great racquet that suits me and it's CHEAP !! :D about SMASH:eek: ?? Oh man, (for me) it's more powerful than Yonex MP-88, no kidding :cool:. Best strung with BG-66 around 25-26lbs.

    you're Right! the green one is in fact i think the most powerful in smashes among the other fischers. the red one sum how is bad in clears, smashes and overheads. it's only advantage is its manouvrebility and defensive capabilities. I guess its time to change racket,

    where did you get it for RM200 ? in kl ?

    RevoWithin: For Rm170, it's worth to try out the green one. However, i did not try other colours that they have for the fischer series but I am pretty sure that the one that i have(green one) is a very good racquet. :p

    Well if brand(e.g Yonex) doesn't matter to you and all you want is something affordable and yet good in its class then by all means go ahead. heck, what else can you get for nowadays for >RM200. oh i heard from racket world that fischer is coming out with a new model within the next few months.

    I'm thinking of going back to Carlton. Still one of the best in that price range. the only problem is its durability in its previous models.:confused:
