I had rackets EMS'd to me from Thailand (mybadlookbad) to Melbs it took only 3 days. Regular post would be around 5-7. Don't see why it should take any longer than that from HK.

where can i buy a babolat blast from? online somewhere? I'm from California USA so I'm just wondering how can I find one, I only can find the satelite series on sale.

e78 in Hong Kong has them, as does Maxsports in Canada.

I know there are more but I've forgotten.

There doesn't appear to be a US distributor for Babolat's badminton racquets so your choices are Canada or Asia. I believe that Tenniszon.com in Canada is cheaper than Maxsports but I think that e78 has the best price.

Tennison wants a lot for the shipping, but if it was just going to the US then it should be pretty reasonable.

According to the spec. sheet, the suggested tension is 20-25lbs. I think it can sustain up to 30lbs without any problems.

My x-feel power is on 26lbs, no issues. It seems capable of higher tension than that.

How do you like the X-Feel Power?

**huangxl** · 06-20-2009, 06:41 AM

Getting my X feel power next week. Cannot wait to string it with BG 80. If it is good i will also buy x blast to try

@easytiger
I like the x-feel power alot, it may not be the most offensive or most defensive but it has a nice solid feel.

@huangxl
where did u get it from?

I have got my x-feel power from e78. I strung it with Babolat Hyperbraid Micro (0.67mm) at 24lbs. I was stupid that I didn't request for Babolat Hyperbraid (0.7mm) or Hyperbraid Hi-life (0.72) string (not sure whether they have it in stock). I have only tried to hit the shuttlecock a few times at home. The sound is very nice when you hit the sweet spot. Otherwise, the sound is strange. I look forward to trying it in badminton courts.
