Looks like pretty much everyone use Yonex

jwu · 10-08-2002, 11:09 AM

I use victor.

bigredlemon · 10-08-2002, 04:27 PM

Which one do u have jwu? I almost bought a Discovery Ti but got BK es-80 instead

jwu · 10-09-2002, 07:51 AM

My main one right now is Discovery III, I had others but broke them over the years. I also have Columbia, it's a beginner's

Which line are you looking at? the european or asian? Some good racquets are:

European line:
Pegasus SQ20, MAGAN Beryllium SQ2000, and Dominator Ti (a really good racquet cheap, ~$60 USD)

Asian line:
Fung 2000, Sun Jun 2000, Ge Fei 2000 (if it's not discontinued)

Well I'm in Canada so I guess i would have been looking at the Euro line given the names....

not necessarily, because you can still order the asian lines in canada. also, I think lee's carry some asian line stuff. there are also a lot of places in N. America that carries the victor asian line. The two lines just differe I guess from where they are made, not where they are sold. Of course it's easier to buy asian line in asia and vice versa.

i dont use yonex!

jwu · 10-15-2002, 10:29 AM

Yonex is the most known and distributed brand out there so it has more reviews. I talk to people who have never played badminton before and they associate yonex with the sport of badminton.

How come no one votes for "YangYang"? Pretty good rackets, too.

Too bad, I can only vote once (Pro-Kennex), but I did also use my YangYang Tactic8500 a lot, too.

Chia · 10-15-2002, 05:31 PM

All those companies have some catching up on Yonex

I went to Lees a few weeks ago... looked like 70% of the racquets were Yonex. I didn't see a single Victor on their showroom, but they might have some in the back.

I guess they dont sell enough of them for it make it to the front...

In marketing you mean? The stores I went to all pushed Yonex irrespective of WHICH yonex. Apparently, most of the stores in Toronto have replaced knowledgable sales reps with Yonex pamphlets... "Which racquet is right for you" of course really means "Which YONEX racquet is right for you"
