I always go to Creative sports for restringing and buying new racquets. they have very good services and good quality racquets and strings.
It is owned by a businessman from Hong Kong. He has his own brand, Viva and Vomino. Both quite alright brands in Hong Kong market.

But VIVIA i tried b4, IMHO its not very good.

Hmm...I frequently visit this shop, and I had bought two badminton rackets from there. AT 300 and Viva Vi-arc110 (clone of arcsaber10). Price is reasonable. Be a member, then you can get a discount. Even you can trade in your old / broken rackets here. Viva and domino products (clone of AT and arcsaber) are just great. Good quality and performance, and cheaper. Have a try!!
