    more like an Alpha Phantom with stickers on it.

    the table while shares some DNA (Porex/Exthree DNA) with the 7032, they are different.

    What's S-H? Are they reliable and reputable? Do they ship over to the US?

    You got the link to the item on the website?

    Yes, the shop is ok
    the problem is language.... they don't have full-time staff that speaks English...
    placed the order and no response until that staff turns up, had to call them, I must be lucky when I called
    then they send me the payment link, did the payment and again no response for a few days
    sent them an email and no response...again
    then they replied they will send the next day...
    actually only took 2.5 days in shipping (Japan to Macau)... no email to give you the tracking number of course
    the package just showed up at my office...

    I found some one said if you order in Japanese, they will deal with it right away (Google translate comes in handy)

    Their price is OK, the more you buy, the more discount you get, I bought a adizero pro and a precision pro, so I got a 25%off which is pretty much the same as if I travel back to HK and spend time searching and some food, so it's ok for me (of course the adidas stuff is not yet out in HK)

    My comment for Shuttle-house is: Buy from them if you must

    As with all international transactions, it pays if you do your homework and be sensitive to the fact that not everyone speaks the same language as you do. Google translate isnt the best, but using it both parties get the basic idea of whats trying to be communicated.Shuttle House is a good resource and BC forumers have a long history of buying from them, so if you want to be an 'early adopter' - and Shuttle House often has products before everyone else - they're a reputable seller.Anyway, I'm sure the hassle is well worth it if you're the only kid on your block with new toys :D

    Oh yes! Shuttle-House and their items are great! it's just I wasn't expecting this process, I buy a lot of stuff from Japan and the process is usually smooth

    I'm not really complaining, just moaning...

    Yes you are right, the hassle is well worth it!
    I'll probably buy from them again, just I won't do it in English~~~ Wahahaha!

    Well, they do the Yen price which is normally higher than street price
    I bullied my buddy to buy a racket so we get a better discount:cool:
    that ends up a pretty similar money that I need to spend going to HK to get it, travel cost and food cost and of course avoid me buying un-necessary bits and pieces while looking around in the shop...:D

    I'm thinking of buying the BT Feather from SH. However, what's the best way to figure out which size will fit me? Depending on the brands, my shoe sizes range from US 8 to 9.5.

    i wear US size 9 for Yonex. my 102ltd was slightly roomy after breaking in.

    i wear US size 9 for the BT Feather. it started off as slightly narrow but after breaking in, it fits like a glove now.

    my feet is slightly wide. width D.

    So if size 9 Yonex fits me, then chances are size 9 BT Feather will fit me then?

    Since you said that the BT Feather gives you like a glove, do you mean it in a good way or a bad way? Is it comfortable at all?

    Fits like a glove is a phrase that might only mean anything in English. It means it fits really good and snug.

    yes. it was strange at first as it was narrower and the outsole is shaped with a distinctive lump at the heel that extends into the arch area. but now after 2 months of constantly wearing it the shoes has broken in a now moulded to the shape of my feet. i think it was good to have started with a narrower shoe coz a wider shoe like the 102ltd will get expanded and eventually became slightly roomy.

    Wow, what a "pure" looking racket. Something of a Peter Gade colour scheme.
