Even with plastic shuttle, a tennis ball still last longer than a plastic shuttle.

per session, 3 tennis balls are much cheaper than a dozen of shuttlecock.
err... court rental is cheaper for tennis in MAS.
tennis racket is cheaper. badminton rackets are overpriced! a 300g tennis racket cost less than 95g badminton racket.
pro earns more in tennis compare to badminton.

they're priced bout the same malaysia n sg...stupid taxes....if we didn't have this government then we could all buy nice cars....btw for those who do not know...some imported cars are given 300% tax.....tat means a ferrari here wil cost 3 times in the states....that's y they have lotsa ferraris in the states...hmmm....there r many here but only the very rich can buy them...here....a high end beemer is priced the same as a ferrari in the states...

that is why, someone here said, owning a nice car is a rich person. in M'sia, we are not having consumer rights!!! a bmw 5 series, cost more than USD100k. those japanese cars are taxed 100-200%. normal nissan sunny cost USD30k. toyota alphard at RM200k++???
do everyone knows that Sidek's brothers still under bankruptcy?

hmmm....judging by the large amount of 5 series on m'sian roads even while costing USD 100k which will actually buy you a porsche.....we can imagine if without tax how wonderful will m'sia be like...nice cars here n there..

hmm....I'm sure many of us do not know but for a price of a waja in malaysia u can buy the top of the range camry in the UAE...that's how overpriced cars are here...

all the cheap-cheap tennis racquet are for beginners or maybe intermediate. For advance one the price are really expensive too. To be honest I cant play tennis the way I want to play, with Rm100 to RM200 price of tennis racquet, and I am not even an advance player.

I play tennis only once or twice a week. My racquet is Babolat Nanostrength which meant for intermediate player and the price here about Rm500.

haha off topic already

the babolat use by Nadal only cost around RM600. dont know where and why you got it quite expensive. so far, as i can see, most branded such as Head, Wilson, Babolat etc... their most high end is costing around RM600. that is why i said, buying a RM600/300g and RM600/95g.......

what I mean is since the price of cars is cheap in china compared to malaysia which is bout twice or thrice the price in china....LD being quite rich should be able to afford a nice car....land rovers aren't cheap cars ya know?

yaya, last time I read an article said LD drives an Audi. But don't know now he has changed it or not

He said actually he likes Mercedez instead of Audi.. But I know XXF like Audi cars

A8.....wow....love that car.....audis are so much better than mercs...mercs are old ppl's car....audis are popular in china though...since they're manufactured there.....they're cheap there....
