Sorry for the confusion--
and the bad attempt to quote
Shakespeare on the Seven Stages of
a Badminton Players Life---

this was a reply to cobalt's
take on Hamlet

Why apologize? You and cobalt deserve kudos for being very witty.

“A Badminton Player is but a walking shadow, a

poor player, that struts and smashes and dinks his hour upon the court and then

is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot-Bird,

plastic or rather Feather preferred , full of

sound and fury, signifying nothing.”


Out, out, brief, close shot!

Brilliant!!! I bow to you, Sir!!!

[geewhiz]

things seem a bit slow here so---here's something
from the un-written book of ----
-------if Humprey Bogart Played Badminton
late night—inside—no sounds
at the far end of a badminton court,
we see 3 new Racquets—
the camera pans closer---and we hear--

---of all the lousy clubs and gin joints and
badminton courts in the world you had to
pick mine----well if you’re not on that court
when they begin to play---you’ll regret it
if not now---but later---and for the rest of
you life---it’s not hard to understand that
the lives of 3 persons on this court don’t
measure up to a normal set of Doubles—
so come on Sam—--you played w/ her—why can’t you
play w/me? “Oh, I don’t know what you’re talking
about boss”
Yes, you do--—pick up that Revelation,
Trinity or ultra-Pro and play a few games for ole
time sake—--Smash it Sam—--Smash it again—
Smash like we were back in Paris—--if she can
take and return it ---well ----so can I—
aaah here’s hitting a bird at you kid---

Haha! Good one!

I think kwun has probably already called shotgun (appropriately, for a 308/3U).

i am starting to feel that i am too old for that stuff. or maybe just a bad week.

i will leave that to some younger player who more deserve such a power racket.

i did play with canti's TPro yesterday. only managed like 10 shots of it and the lighter head balance wasn't my cup of tea. will wait for the heavier one to arrive.

Exactly what i did.....asked mark to swap for a higher Bpt.....

Adapt you must, young padawan. Great power, the reward will be. Fast around the net and midcourt, you will become.

Having broken the strings on my usual 298mm TP, I played with the 291 one yesterday and was suprised by the power. Really better than what I expected (adapting took only ~30-40min), although the feeling on drop shots and blocks is much better with the head heavier one.

You people are mental! My 269 is one of the most powerful rackets I've ever owned.

TPro shipment is now in USA and should be being shipped to me on Monday come what may - any more pre-orders?

Heheh. Some of us need more help from the racket Although I noticed my smashes seemed to be a bit better with the lower BP one.....but the control is better with the head heavier one, which is why I'll probably stick with it for singles. My smashes aren't really instant winners there and I'd rather make 4 less mistakes on drop and net shots each than hit 4 winners more with smashes

[jamesd20]

Mine were 283mm, too headlight for me, just felt all wrong. I like 288-295

can't wait to play with my Tpro again..
1 month without badminton..

last time I played with it I had a good time (double for 2 hours)
but I notice the Tpro head heaviness when I switch with the Arcsaber 008
now I understand the meaning head heavy, not too fast, but it packs a punch
