    kwun, I noticed you used Mizuno grip on several of your racquets, can you tell me how do you like it and where did you get it from?

    Thanks. ;)

    Nic,

    i got them from Luxis in HK. i am using them in all my rackets now. they are the best i have used: sticky and lasts forever, and sticky even when wet, and sufficiently thin so i won't be holding this thick thing. they are pricey at HK$50 list price. and i ask my badminton shop friend here about the availability of the grip from Mizuno US, apparently they don't import them here. :(

    i believe Cheung is using or has used Mizuno grip before as well.

    Thanks Kwun, seems like it is quite tough to get Mizuno stuffs here in the states besides shoes, even shoes is quite limited too.

    i also find that they have different shoes here than in HK. and also, the price is really high, a local place is selling some Mizunos, but they are over $70!

    On all of my racquets I run the grip down over the numbers and just onto the shast. But is I had a Cab 20 CN I think I would leave it like yours, Kwun.

    Slanter,

    yes, i do that too on my other rackets. good for serving in doubles and the more delicate drives and net shots.

    but when i got the cab20, i knew that it is to the brittle side and i told myself i'd never use it for doubles. thus i wrapped it higher.

    and of course, for the reason you mentioned! :)
