Hi Huang Xi
Pls check with Mr.Soh at 6253 8858

Thanks for the note Spendork. But damn Yishun is so far away... probably better for Soh since it'll be nearer for him.

**angchor** · 03-24-2010, 09:41 AM

Which part of yishun? Which block?

Hi Weeyeh, Just wondering where you get your racket stringing done? Toa Payoh area..... I have always asked Mr Soh to string for me; now kinda lost...

Haiz... Classic loh. That's why I'm also frowning. He's one of the few people I trust my rackets to.

In future I might get my friend to help me get my rackets strung. He brings it to Johor

was told the news by mr soh when i went to string my racket this evening

yishun seems abit far liao

**Ah_Peng** · 03-25-2010, 09:03 AM

Hi all ,

Mr Soh's stringing is one of the best in Singapore , he can tell just from sight if your racquet can take ur requested tension , if u r used to his stringing , y change ? Change of stringer will also affect the feel of our racquet , yes yishun is far but I am willing to spent time to travel to get the best out from my racquet .

Good day

**szekt** · 03-25-2010, 09:14 AM

Mr Soh is good but to travel to Yishun a bit xiong.... I need my racket re strung every 4-6 weeks leh.... any good stringers in this area? Has anyone tried the stringing of MB sports at Bishan? What about Toa Payoh Safra?

**weeyeh** · 03-27-2010, 05:08 AM

Swung by Classic just now and caught Soh packing up the stop at Toa Payoh. He's closing up the shop tomorrow.

Maybe Soh should start a courier service for his racket stringing service.

szekt, dun think the shop in Toa Payoh SAFRA does stringing for badminton. The shop seems to be more focussed on squash.

I think he is moving his "shop" to a home based business like Mr Lim from artric. Heard from Soh about this weeks ago before his prospected "taking over tenant" visit.

Heard his house is in Yishun blk 6xx area, which is in Katib and near the new KTH hospital.

Those who feel far can call him to check if he does picking and sending services. Also heard him suggesting this possiblility with an "extra charge" .

Imho, travelling 3-4 mrt stops in Singapore is insignificant compared to other countries where badminton shops is miles away in another town. Personally, Mr Soh's stringing skill is definitely worth the extra distance.

**szekt** · 03-27-2010, 10:19 PM

Dropped by his shop to string my racket.... saw him packing

; anyways, he did mention that he might be doing "rounds" picking up rackets at MRT stations for stringing with extra charge($2-3?); actually might be a win-win situation: saves me the hassle of sending the racket to his place/incurring costs in transport and he gets some money for his time/effort; dunno how long he will provide this service though (if it does happen).... probably when there is enough volume at his new "office", I guess he may not do this....

BTW, he will be operating from blk 9XX which is behind Yishun MRT(havent checked out yet)...guess it is still relatively accessible.....even then, will still be painful for me if I make a trip every 4 weeks or so to get my racket restrung....I stay a few blocks away from his current Braddell location!!

Thanks... I saw a couple of badminton rackets there last time I was there..then again, that was about 8 months ago...maybe the owner has changed; any experience with MB sports Bishan

?
