I accounted 7 new model to US (excluding Cab35). 12 new colors include Jr racquets for 2010. Really, you are only prob excited over 2 new Arcs anyway. All the high end and mid bag is being replaced. Grip powder and spray is discontinued...

***kwun*** · 12-21-2009, 04:02 PM

Everyone who owns a machine and want to share and learn, or anyone who don't own a machine and interested in badminton stringing are welcomed to share and learn.

Alan will have the best machine on the market, a Yonex ES5 Protech that everyone can play with. I will bring my Alpha Shuttle Express w/ WISE electronic tensioner, others will bring their machine along as well.

This will be a good event for prospective stringers who are interested in stringing, you ca check out and try different machine bofore you purchase yours. Just don't get too addicted with the ES5 Protech

To be honest, I was never a fan of the arc series. Huge hype kinda turns me
off. Now the carbonex series on the other hand... I always loved the cleanness of their color schemes and the solidness of the rackets.
