    Yonex ARCSABER Z-Slash - TAUFIK HIDAYAT Ltd

    Im thinking about buying this racket, upgrading from my arcsaber10... there is a few auctions on ebay... one is SP version which i know is Singapore and thus some ppl say is not the best... JP is considered by some to be the best... but here comes my problem... the other one is AS version... im wondering if anybody knows what country code that is? and is it as good as JP?

    Thanks!

    I would not buy it from E-bay
    that's the only advice I can give
    many fakes are from E-bay
    most of the fakes has cone code SP, CH and JP

    SP is cheaper than the rest of the code
    JP is more expensive because they adopt different price for different region (and you should know Japan is one of the most expensive country to live in), however there is no differences in characteristic between code area (some people said the JP has better paint job than other codes)

    AS is Australia, usually less fakes, but still, I don't advice to buy it on E-bay
    better safe than sorry

    My only option i think is Ebay. The seller (of the AS racket) has a real store in Australia. "Calibre Badminton and Sports Depot" Ive seen ppl posting good things on this forum about them... so im not worried.. I havent found the racket anywhere else..

    I said that don't buy it from E-bay since you said that it was an auction
    if Calibre Sport, I might say you can go for it

    you could try mybadmintonstore
    they are legit
    http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=25_26_98&products_id=946
    it is also cheaper if you want to restring it and you don't need to pay shipping cost
    (US $30-40 cheaper than Calibre Sport)
    do note it's SP code though
