    I accounted 7 new model to US (excluding Cab35). 12 new colors include Jr racquets for 2010. Really, you are only prob excited over 2 new Arcs anyway. All the high end and mid bag is being replaced. Grip powder and spray is discontinued...

    Everyone who owns a machine and want to share and learn, or anyone who don't own a machine and interested in badminton stringing are welcomed to share and learn.

    Alan will have the best machine on the market, a Yonex ES5 Protech that everyone can play with. I will bring my Alpha Shuttle Express w/ WISE electronic tensioner, others will bring their machine along as well.

    This will be a good event for prospective stringers who are interested in stringing, you ca check out and try different machine bofore you purchase yours. Just don't get too addicted with the ES5 Protech :)

    To be honest, I was never a fan of the arc series. Huge hype kinda turns me
    off. Now the carbonex series on the other hand... I always loved the cleanness of their color schemes and the solidness of the rackets.

    i'll nominate..

    ..DinkAlot's Panda Power racket should lead the charge & be the 1st racket out of the bag! (Supposedly) It's tough and strong enough to take on a 40 lb stringing tension!:cool:

    Hello to ALL!!! Bay Area StringFest is right around the corner, and was wondering if we could get a head count for people interested in showing up!! I know Alan T., Jarold C., Kevin the stringer from Asby, Kwun, are a few I am pretty sure that are coming. Please let us know so we can get a head count. Please bring your machines if you can to show it off and let other stringers see what you work with, I am very interested to see what you got. Look foward to seeing everyone!! Feb 6 2010 12pmish at AK Badminton & Tennis, 7691 Thornton Ave, Newark, CA 94560. 510-315-0005 www.akbadminton.com
