Hi, I was invited to a badminton game last week. I have not touched a badminton racket since I was a high school students which was more than 15 years ago. I would like to get a badminton racket for myself. I know there is a "fake" yonex selling in ebay for AU$49. Can anyone comment on this. Even if it is fake, it might do, since I am not a very good player anyway. Any comments? Link here: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-YONEX-Ar...3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:1|39:1|240:1318 thx. -dav-
Hey Dav, I started again recently after a slightly longer hiatus than you. That's a fake - too good to be true. Arc10's retail for 250 bucks. Stadium Sports in Box Hill is reputable, and they also have an ebay store. They probably have more rackets in their actual shop, so it might even be worth going there to check them out. I got my Head Metallix 8k from mybadlookbad.com in Thailand, and they're good. Reputable, no fakes, good service. Shipping is a bit steep though.
Thanks Easy Tiger. I might drop by Stadium Sports to check out their rackets there. I'm curious, how much did they charge for shipping from Thailand?
It was pretty steep, about 50 bucks. I was a bit silly though, I coulda bought 4-5 rackets for the same shipping price as the rackets weigh 90g and the box weighted a kilo!
