1) Take Mrt to Kranji station.

4) Take cab from City Square. Alot of the taxi driver will not know where Honly is, so tell them you want to go to The Store at Taman Sentosa. Honly is located just before The Store, it is on the left hand side of the road leading to The Store. That road is one way street and it is slightly uphill.

On your way back, just retrace your steps. Take a cab back to City Square and then make your way to the JB customs/immigration. After clearing immigration, take the CW1 bus back to Kranji MRT (RM$0.90).

You can also take the CW2 bus from Queens Street if you live near there. There are SBS buses that goes to JB customs but they have more stops so I don't take those.

thanks so much for providing such detailed description on how to get to honly.

most probably i will go over to permai sports 1st since it's near city square. if can't find anything i like then will take a cab down to honly.

are the prices at these 2 shops very competitive? or will there be like at least RM15 difference for the same racket?

I would say Permai Sports prices are more competitive but they lose out in product range and variety.

Another shop you may want to check out is:

Mega Sports
69 Jalan Keris, Taman Sri Tebrau
80050 Johor Bahru, Johor
Shop Propreitor: Joseph Tan
Tel: 07-334 4763
(store is opposite a Roman Catholic Church which you can see in the reflection of the glass store front)

Very knowledgeble and gives you good advice on everything about badminton.. even on which court to book in a sports hall to get optimum flight from your shuttlecocks.

Product range and variety is about the same as Permai and prices are pretty competitive also. Bought a tube of Fleet Silver Shuttlecocks from them. It is within walking distance from Honly (about 15 mins walk) which I did with my friends to Honly from there.

Below is a picture of the store front. Bottom two are Honly with the second picture the current store front with Li-Ning posters. Similar to Permai no N-series yet but only mid-end range.

Honly Trading Company
3, Block I Lien Hoe Complex, Jalan Sutera, Taman Sentosa
80150 Johor Bahru, Johor
Tel: 07-331 6676

You are right. Yours should be the new and current address. Mine I copied from their receipt slip which must be their old stationery. But the picture is current. Their store is located facing the T-junction.

will definitely look out for all those big brand signboards when i go Honly.

hopefully will have a fruitful trip this weekend.

Permai Sports do carry Apacs rackets.

Bought 2 Apacs rackets from there, 1 for myself, the other for my bro.
1) Apacs Nano 9990 (was told it's a new arrival, anyone heard of it?)
2) Apacs Furious 900 (White) (was told it's the same as Nano 900 White)

for the amount that i paid, i can at most get 1 racket in SG.
very reasonable prices and friendly shop owner.

what i got was Nano 9990, not Nano 9900.
they do not have Nano 9900 on sale, which was what i wanted to get in initially.
that's why i asked whether anyone heard of or use Nano 9990 before.

Didn't really pay attention to the Tantrum series, so can't remember whether Tantrum 200 is on sale.
anyway Nano 9990 cost RM85, but most likely the uncle will give discount if buy 2 rackets.

it only cost me around SGD85 to get both Nano 9990 and Furious 900, both strung with Yonex BG66 and free grips.

Yup, there's like 6 pieces of Tantrum 200, a number of lethal 50 & 60 as well and a lot of the Dunlop racquet currently used by Wong Choong Hann.

I saw Tantrum cost RM369 before discount, of course.

Wow... great. Wanted to get a T200 from a local shop in sg but was told that Tantrum 200 already stop production and no more stock paving way for Tantrum 300 which will be coming out this month. Will go down to JB to grab a T200 fast

T300 color scheme abit too orangy to my liking. Btw how much more discount will Permai normally give? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's tantrum 200 coz it's green in color and from far looks like AT800Def.

Never mind, lucky I'm not tempted by high end APACS racquet.

I didn't buy T200, but Andy told me it's around 30% with string + bag.

Cheers
