can't read chinese but saw the wood handle, thought maybe it was very special handle. Now that you mention it from Indonesia, i wonder how much different the woods could be?
*Gosen Ryoga Tenbu, sorry. On the Indonesian wood handle, says it's better than the wood that they normally use, which is from Malaysia. This Indonesian wood is harder, and more resistant to rot. It also absorbs shock better, because its wood fibre are denser and more compact.
One that's saturated with US cultural references, I'm afraid. Could apply to cricket... but then I'd never make a cricket reference - I'd rather watch a puddle evaporate.
would've been better if Victor starts using carbon handle, kinda like what Gosen did. No more woods, and washable! I'm not sure what kind of marketing strategy for using Indonesian woods, but considering the climate and landscape of Indonesia vs Malaysia, it's either the Indonesian wood-grip is much cheaper than what Malaysia produced, or Malaysia is running out of wood! I'm Indonesian and absolutely sure that the Indonesian wood-grip isn't much different with what Malaysia produce. Unless, it's the woods from 1000 years trees that illegally chopped off!
Hi ZeroSOFInfinity, Each racket cost me around SGD125 including shipping n etc. Just sprained my ankle badly this morning. Won't be using the racket even if it arrives next week in my hands...
Hi Bro Taeivon... cant wait to hear from you on the review of the TK-15. Sell it to me okay if you intend to let go. Will gladly take it off your hands....
Hi ice man (top gun?) I got it off China. Shipping it back to SG. I believe TK-15 is currently released in China only. Not sure bout other markets availability especially in Europe.
Yes it seems that it is available only in china for now if someone can give me a website which is understandable for someone not speaking chinese, and where it is possible to use paypal it would be wonderful!
I can't help you with a website in English that's selling TK15 right now. However, if u happen to drop by Singapore for a holiday, I can help u get it if you pre-empt me 2 weeks in advance before dropping by Singapore.
Unfortunately I have no trip to Singapour planned... Do you know if the chinese websites ship to Europe?
China this month is pre-sales, next month official launched. Actual big stock reached after July, this month demo unit will reach and July only have stock, so sad.
for those who can read chinese. review for tk15 in chinese http://bbs.badmintoncn.com/thread-412707-1-1.html
Received mine this evening. BG85 @24lbs, original grip removed, re-wrap with Babolat 0.4mm over-grip + Kimony KGT-109. Total weight - 85g. BP 305mm. Feel more like a 4U than 5U .... -_____- ! Oh, and tried soft hitting a shuttle at home, there's a very soft high pitch "zing" sound.... very strange .... Vibration and feedback feel less than the other Victors (Braveswords and Legend II), but slightly more than Yonex (VT70 & AT700PR2012), quite nice, actually. We'll see how it performs on court this weekend ....
