Hi everyone,

I am just looking for stringing service in Cardiff as I will be studying in Cardiff University in the coming Sept.

Can anyone give me the address of stringer or badminton shops nearby??

Hello there. i'm khairul, student at university of glamorgan. I need to re-string my raquet & couldn't find any shop in cardiff. can you help me in this matter? i have tried to PM the person above but the message couldn't be delivered.

i need to buy a new racquet, but there is not enough sporting equipment for badminton in cardiff. can you recommend me a shop that has many equipment for badminton? i know i can buy stuff online, but you as a badminton player, need to have a feel & test the racquet in hand before buying it. so, buying online is like "hit and miss" sometimes.

does anyone know if there is any nearby local badminton club at trefforest? i have tried asking the badminton club to join them, but it was already full. so i need to find an alternative place i can play with my friends since the sport centre here is always booked & expensive

cheers

YC Sports on Crwys Road are a good bet for stringing - they specialise in Badminton, but I think they mainly just carry Yonex racquets.

If you want a good non-Yonex brand, Tony Pryce Sports have a good selection. They're in the centre of Cardiff - Queen's Arcade, opposite Argos.

Thank you!

by the way... do you know any place nearby the University of Glamorgan where I can play badminton. the sport centre here has the facilities, but always fully booked. So I need to find some place outside the university to play badminton... hope someone here can help me
