    Basically, the one Lee's has for 25% off. Nebody have this racquet? Wut's it like, balance, power, control, feel? I haven't been able to verify whether this is the same as the Roots 5000 Ti, or like the Roots Gavun 5000. Is Lee's price a good deal? Info, plz, and thx.

    I beleive they are different. The Original Gosen which I had owned before I believe come in red and green shaft. Red is flexible and green is stiff. I owned the green version, and it was powerful but I found it to be on the heavier side. But control is very good.

    Gosen has a new racquet coming out, the top of the line Gosen 5300.
    At badminton.net the 5300 is $115 USD. Should be available in Canada soon.
