    Hi Yudhi,

    Haven't seen you join us for a long while ... ? Coming down this Sunday ?

    Okay, here's my take on this racket which unfortunately was broken by a friend of mine some years back.

    " It was the best thing I had while it was good .. " :)

    But it depends a great deal on your style of play whether you like it or not. Its even balanced with a very, very stiff shaft and frame. Excellent control and power if you've got the arm power.

    Bring it down on sunday ?? Show you my 'cracked' one .... which I still could not bear to throw away ....

    Oh yah .. maybe its part of the myth surrounding this racket. Zhao Jianhua used it in his prime .. perhaps there's some added "premium" to th racket due to this ? ? And it was very rare even when it was still in production.

    The last time I had been offered with a brand new Boron-2 CN costed HK$3000 (I didn't buy it end-up). At the time of this writing, I think it need HK$4000+ to buy one here (may not be easily found one as well).

    That's why you are so lucky. If you like racquets such as Cab 20, I think you will like Boron-2 as well.

    Dear Yudhi:

    If you say the racket is "old and very "ugly"", would you like to get rid of it and putting it on sale in this Forum ?

    Just a suggestion only.

    gladius, where did your boron-2 broke? (what clock position?) Was it a crack or a total separation?

    It cracked as a result of a very, very bad clash. The other racket, an Aerotus 65 ( Also mine !!!! )cracked and broke as well.

    You can say it was at the 4 o'clock position.
