    Any particular reason why your stringer skipped one of the rows? for cosmetics purpose?

    according to the stringer ........ that's their standard in order to make good impact, but to me it is no different .........

    on of my friend just stringed his Yonex AT900 Power using this way (skipped 3rd-row from bottom), and he felt very good .......

    I heard from a stringer that it doesn't really make a difference except that the sound is nicer....not sure how true is that...

    I'm currently playing with the StormPro. The high flex and head heaviness help a lot in generating more power for those who don't have a strong arm. Clears and smashes are great. Control is average, which I guess is a trade-off for power due to the high flex.

    I must admit it took me quite a few games to get used to smashing with this racket - my smashes were stronger but flatter - it's as if the shaft snaps back a few milliseconds later than usual.

    I just bought 2 used Sotx rackets a couple of days ago, but I would still like to know how much you are selling the Astec rackets, in case I don't like my new purchases.

    has anyone played with one of the taper shaft racquets? How does it feel? powerful? floppy? The inner wave design seems to popular with companies these days. Victor, BK, and others.

    Hi Astec,
    Do you have any stores/resellers in Penang, Malaysia? Have a friend there right now and trying to get him to help me pick up an Excalibur.
