    It's a nice looking racket too. Expensive though.

    Yeah it is pricey - even with discount I'm looking at around $215 CDN before shipping and duty.

    Really need a rep this side of the pacific.

    That's what happens when the canadian dollar goes belly up...:D:D
    I really want to try this legendary TC700....just no $$ and nobody else has it to test it.

    even in South East Asia Mizuno is very difficult to find :( They must change their marketing strategy

    Hah... not even sure if Mizuno has a marketing strategy at all. I hardly see any advertisements surrounding the brand.

    Up until 3-4 years ago when WoS took over the distributorship of Mizuno, I only know of one place that I can consistently find their shoes. In a way, WoS did a great job in stablising general availability of Mizuno branded shoes and accessories (like shorts/Tees). However, this also comes with an increase in price which is fortunately balanced with the occassional sales.

    No signs of Mizuno rackets here though.

    I thought you already had 3 x TC700 ? So these are in addition to that ?

    Please do a review on the GP series and let us know how it plays.

    I have disgusting strings + stringing on my Mizunos. Can't comment on them. I want a full refund for the stringing job..

    I think they're on the TC700 thread. You can see that the string bed looks very loose ( uneven tension ) and the stringing pattern is so weird too. Doesn't feel anything like 27lbs.
