    You can try www.badmintonzon.com, it is based in Canada and they are an authentic site with most of the top rackets from most major companies.

    oh ok nvm you cant select the weight, only 2U is avalible for the ns9ks, well i have a choice, 2UG4 from badmintonzone or 3U and, humm oh my, problem what is the grip size for the racket at badmintonally? its probably G4 anyways, i have a older yonex isometric 53MF that is 2UG4, and i've tried a MP28 3U and i like the weight better, faster swing, so i think im going to stick with badmintonalley, thanks alot

    one more question, is the ns9ks really defensive? im more allround with fast swing speeds and i string my rackets at about 24lbs(then ofcourse it loses about 2lbs) does the ns9ks work? im really confused now, why does badmintonzone called is defensive and others call it allround

    Martin,

    The NS9K in the US only come in the G4 size. So if you require other sizes, you will have to look in Canada or other countries.

    Badmintonalley is a reputable online store, based on members' feedback here. Most US coded Yonex rackets only come with G4 grip. However, it's always better to contact them to confirm everything, before purchase. ;)

    I have been buying shuttles regularly from them for almost a year now. I have also got rackets from them. They are reputable and reliable. Reasonable shipping/handling fees. The toll-free number gets their store.

    I've bought Yonex MX-98 from BadmintonAlley before, and returned it after wearing them once in mint condition, finding it doesn't fit my foot well. No hassle, no questions asked.

    BTW, I walked into the store for the purchase. The owner coaches a local HS as I recall. They also run Smash City's pro shop.

    www.mybadmintonstore.com is really good site to buy stuff from. their stuff is really good (authentic) and they ship world wide for free. also, all of their badminton equipment is 20% (or more) cheaper than most other places. they're located in HK.

    also, does anyone know a place where i can get Yonex SHB-98MX?

    same question, looking to buy a nanospeed 6000. the SP one is $159.99, the JP one is $199.99. what's the difference? is it really worth 40USD for the same racket?

    There are tons of debates on such topics already. Some ppl believe that JP/CP, etc are superior than others, some just think everyone is the same. Therefore, worth or not, it's based on your own choice. ;)

    anyone know if US version rackets are as good as JP version rackets? i might as well grab one from badminton alley so i dont have to wait on shipping. not to mention its cheaper too.

    i've made my decision, im going to get it from mybadmitonstore.com, shipping is free, might take a will since it comes from HK i think, but no big deal, i can also pick a blue string colour(matchs NS9k) for my BG-65ti(B alley only has white)
