    Is the place opposite sembawang shopping centre a reliable place to get rackets? Its not a shop, its a private house. I intend to get a yonex amourtec 700 from there at $200 with string and grip. Is it a good price? Can i buy from there? Im quite worried that i will buy a fake racket as i noe that there are alot of fake rackets in the market especially yonex ones.

    are you referring to Arctic Pacific (Mr. Lim) ?
    if yes, he is one of the most recommended shop in Singapore ....

    Yes, you can get ur racket there. Mr Lim is able to run his business there meaning he does have a lot of regular customers going back to him.

    Maybe you will too. :)

    Hi Klein,

    I was there on thursday, yes, the place looks abit rundown, but than the good credibility of the person running it, is well-known.

    $200 is quite a nice price. Last time I checked, in queensway one shop is selling for $219.

    He do sell victor racket, but unfortunately, he only have 2 piece, super wave 33, power & control :(

    I believe it must be Victor, right ?
    when I was there last time, I did not see any Victor racquet, no idea now.

    Singapore has the official distributor of Victor which is Mr. Chris (the guy at Ang Mo Kio) - this was confirmed by Victor China when I asked them earlier this year.

    Mr. Lim is one of official distributor for SOTX for Singapore.

    This henry teo i think i know him, often see him at hougang sports hall, always try to promote victor stuff, i dont like him, cause he is a bit proud.. and i ask him for a extra stiff , head heavy racket.. he cant tell me which one.. his product knowledge not so good...

    i prefer chris, chris is more friendly..:D

    I bet this is not the only negative experience right? Does being proud or can't tell head heavy racket = product knowledge not so good? Really very subjective and situation related reply.

    Yes , that's the only negative experience i have.. if bros have other negative exp with this henry, please share it here..

    My advice is : if bros here want to buy Victor products, its better to go for Mr chris, he is really a nice friendly person.

    For Yonex rackets: Mr Lim sembawang

    For Li ning/Apacs/proace: Can look for Ten & ten aunty amy
