    I've actually been thinking about this for a while, and I have about half a dozen models named after various nasty obscure Asian weapons.

    I feel that the frame design doesn't show that it is a bs frame design racket. But still great design.

    It's an 'artists impression' :). Okay, so I've sent the specs away and now I'm waiting for a quote. That gives me I reckon a week to convince the missus I should start a badminton company!

    I sure hope that it doesn't actually take 10k to start it up! Are you proposing it to Eric or someone else?

    You might as well add a stringing machine onto the 'to buy list' too :)

    And let me fondle it with my dirty dirty hands if it comes to fruition! Or will me your rackets if you somehow do not survive the talk with the missus - haha!

    I'm using Eric as a facilitator, but it's my project.

    So is it a fully woven frame, or only a single layer woven like MX series?

    I'm not sure yet. I've asked for a quote for a 'Woven' head, so hopefully they'll come back to me with some options. There might also be the possibility of the BS shape having too many sharp edges and not being 'woven friendly' - in which case I'll use maybe use the Meteor headshape - but I'm hoping the Sword shape is compatible because I just love the speed.

    you'll end up with an MX90 or 100 if you use the octogonal frame :p

    Well, that would be a crappy dilemma, wouldn't it?

    Looks great. Specs looks great too. Logo looks good. Just not keen on "White Label" brand name.

    Damn, now you're hijacking my own thread with my own material! :(:rolleyes::)

    Okay, so an explanation of the name WHITE LABEL.

    Back when I was a kid many moons ago, my friends were all into the rave scene and a few were DJ's. Periodically they'd get these highly sought after very limited run vinyl LP's with a completely blank white label in the centre and nothing else. I always liked the name, so for whatever reason, it's popped up here.

    If I was really gutsy, I'd do the same, and just have a white panel on a completely black racket with no easily discernable markings, but frankly I think most people are too well indoctrinated in the current zeitgeist for those sort of design shenanigans.

    Personal opinion, I think you should just go with the blank white label and make the racket have very limited markings and wordings :)
