Nice pair of rackets for couples http://shuttle-house.com/PAGE_top_JAPANESE/MAIL_ORDER/category/YONEX/RACKET/Ti-Z_b.jpg
hi.. I just started playing badminton regularly few months back and I just bought this model 2 days ago... I don't know much about rackets..this was recommended by the sales guy... Is this a good racket?
hi.. no i didn't buy this racket in KL. I'm in Taiwan now, Taichung area. Bought it from a badminton club shop here. Why? is there any difference? buying here or in KL?
ooh ic.... the shop that i bought it from is actually a club shop belong to Taichung district badminton club. I played at their hall here. They have all latest model from Yonex 2009 catalog. I paid NTD2400 thats about RM249. They said they only sells genuine products (I sure hope so...) as they told me this model is direct import from Japan not made in Taiwan Yonex racket and I get warranty card with the purchase... I'll take some photos and upload later.... I haven't seen this racket back in KL tho......no wonder some of my friends were asking me to buy for them... They have the new Nanospeed 9900 which I'm tempted to buy...but its way out of my budget...maybe I'll get Ns8000 or Arc700 instead...they were offering me NTD4200 for Ns8000 (retail at NTD6000)...am not sure whether this is a good deal....
Believe your Ti0 should be 'TW' coded (on the cone) and 'Made in Japan' indicated on the shaft. Before the Ti0, the blue and pink versions of the Ti2 were available in Taipei a few years ago but these have since been discontinued. http://www.yonex.co.jp/badminton/old-model/pro2005/racket/ti2.html From my personal experience, the retail shops in Taiwan should give you a minimum 30% discount off the retail prices of the yonex racquets.
yes the racket is TW coded...i bought the blue one... played last night for 1st time, was a bit too light for me...maybe i used to play heavier racket... I only played with carbonex racket before this... dont feel that good during smashing....
