well, it is just placing the carbonfibre sheets, roll, whatever you can find inside the racket into a metal cast with the proper racket shape. Heat it up and apply high pressure, i.e. autoclave. I don't know whether this is the correct description or not, somebody has to correct me.

That's roughly right.

Seems like they're made in three pieces usually - head, shaft, and T-Joint. You can see that pretty clearly in the photos of the Air-Rage (which FYI looks very different to the one on newitts.com).

But anyway, that's a whole other topic.

Okay, so speedysports.be is a no-go. They want a minimum order of €500/AUD887/USD690. As for why, I have no idea.

At this rate I'll probably wait until the local distro has them in stock.

Kwun, what's the deal from your end mate? Whats the ETA in the US?

Who in Malaysia has them in stock?

**Easy Tiger** · 05-31-2009, 04:23 AM

Yay, they're now available. Who will be first to get one?

**Zabee** · 05-31-2009, 07:58 AM

well need to know the prices 1'st before making further action..

**Sevex** · 05-31-2009, 08:27 AM

Just ordered the vapour trail s-lite on Newitts.com
My bank account may never forgive me... £80.

But I couldn't resist, head light and flexible. Ideal for a defensive doubles player.

Will try and post a review of it in a few days. Keep in mind I'm not a badminton ace!

You could use a currency conversion site to give you a rough idea.

thx...but i think the price will be a bit higher than the amount shown on that conversion..

**pyrox** · 06-01-2009, 04:46 PM

any review coming soon? I'm very interested in any comments about the vapour trail tour (silver) or the air rage ST (blue)

**Easy Tiger** · 06-02-2009, 04:50 AM

Kwun is letting the side down. Clearly his contract states that he must put up a Carlton header and thread, and let us do the rest. Heck, where's our commission? I feel kinda dirty AND ripped off.
