Hi...finally i decided to join this forum..
Well, my name is Nia from Indonesia. 21 years old and has played badminton since I was 9 years old...

At first, I was taughy by my father. Then i join a club. But that time, it was only for fum. So I do sport and not just lazy...then, I paly regulary every saturday. And at the age og 14 I practice privately witha teacher. i think he is one of the person that reallu influence my improvement. he wasa local player, and altough he is old around 65 years old, his stroke is really good. I always got beaten...

It's a humongous one too. Of course, it's better in some ways. For example, imagine cooking for all of us...But you're lucky. We'll spare you for now.

Awesome, hope you get something out of this. BADMINTON=awesome=BADMINTON=awesome = circle of BADMINTON=awesome. Enjoy the circle.

Hi again Nia. i just remembered, i have been looking for an Astec brand racquet Magic Power 2 or 3 series, do you know where i can buy one in jakarta?

**agNEZone** · 11-02-2006, 07:52 AM

btw, this is the court that i use to play. Its very hot...because mainly I play from 12 o clock until 3 o clock...

Hi NIA,
The courts' flooring doesnt look so good. A bit poorly maintained. 12noon to 3pm is a pretty warm n humid in Surabaya,correct? U must be pretty tired after yr game in this type of environment.

Ok, the reason i asked for Astec is because i tried one and i liked the performance, its head light but still has enough weight to hit a good smash, the price which is around Rp 275,000 and the tension capacity, i have been asking my buddies in jakarta to buy me but they cannot find any. finally, today, (my wife bought it for me) i settled for a Hart brand, i don't know the performance yet. anyways, thanks for the info and the court you're playing in is similar to where i used to play when i was still in Kebon Jeruk, Jakarta. If you don't mind, i want to ask how much you pay for the court?
