Greater Vancouver, Canada only bought the racket in Taiwan one month ago, I just can't get used to the faster swing speed. Total of 6 paint chips, 4 smaller than 0.5cm, 2 larger than 1 cm. Bg65 @ 23x25 lb. $150. Also included is a spare Nbg95 string ($15 value). So you are actually only paying $135 for the racket.
