    Yonex stuff only about 5-10% off. I guess they could return it to Sunrise. Hey Lee, I've never seen an Aeroplane before. Were they made in Japan, Taiwan or ..

    The Aeroplane brand is a Made-in-China company manufacturing Sports goods like Badminton, tennis rackets and accessories. They were making metal and even Carbon-graphite rackets for a while but now you can only find shuttlecocks being sold here in Singapore.
    The particular 515 model wooden badminton racket I use was apparently first produced in '77/78 for the Chinese National Badminton team as well before being sold to the masses and overseas.

    Guys could someone advise which is more worth collecting. A yonex b-3000 or a silvergray. both are going for about sgd 100+ but the yonex has a bit of discolur on the cone n light scratches on the frame. the silvergray is in mint condition.

    Just to add further to my collection ... another RM260 for Apacs Tantrum 200 and also earlier for the Voltric Z- Force Limited Edition 88 RM650 which I come to know that price has gone down since to RM550-RM560. Oughhh.

    I would go with the Silver Grays...it being in mint condition and secondly I would think they're harder to find than the Yonex.
