I think I will go support you guys. Maybe test some rackets out if my wrist and arm have healed by then.
This is just my opinion. Maybe we should a separate section for StringFest events just like places to play.
How about Saturday Dec 5th 6:30pm at Affinity Badminton Club. They are having a tournament so people can go early and watch if they like?
Is anyone interested in meeting Sunday Dec 6th at Affinity at Affinity Open 5 or 6pm to chat about Stringfest?
Sorry to possiably push it back again, There is possiably a tournament at Berkeley the last weekend of January 30-31 and they are looking to have Yonex Sponsor it, so I might be stringing there. Waiting to hear from Berkeley people.
Alan and I met today and the first AK/BC Stringfest will be held on Feb 6. details are still being worked out. feel free to make suggestions on what you like to see, and let us know if you are interested in attending. we will make a more formal announcement when things gets more solidified.
Pete you so should fly down here to demonstrate it. Alan will be happy to let you use his ES5 Protech. how's that for incentive? we are expecting 10-20 people, it will be a fun afternoon.

Yonex will most likely help me out, and I will get going with Alpha about grommets. Anybody else we can ask for sponsorship stuff? I LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE!!!

Just talked to Alpha!!! A new stringing tool will be coming out, said to help out new stringers, they are waiting for a patent. It is secret, Alpha can't talk about it yet. I heard Yonex is going to be agressive next year. 19 new frames coming out, new and new colors of frames.
