Can't remember exactly where I saw it. I think I saw this brand in an european website some days ago, or I could be just confused this with some other name.

Is this an european brand?

The only racquet that I saw that had this brand belonged to one of my varsity teammates. I'll try to post pictures. All I can say is that its light, it is labeled to take 30lbs of tension, but he (the owner) strings it at 28lbs.

the Gooseflite brand is, if im not mistaken, is from Taiwan..

I was able to use a few models, the cost is relative the materials, the price range is from US$25 - US$82....it has several features like a hollow-Tee joint that creates an extra whipping action (like Gosen), and a slim shaft that helps it propel the head, it has an allowable threshold of 30lbs tension...nice colors too....

But the kicker is the warranty than if you break their rackets during a game...you can pay a minimum amount (depends on the model) and the company will replace it with a brand new one...most of the time its half the reatail price and you can claim and have new one....its available here in Manila and can easily be bought from some of the National Players..

Its a decent racket..and some of the top models are even being used by some of the advanced players here....i even met a female instructor that stocks 5 gooseflites in her bag for practice and matches...wheww

If ever you'll need one...let me know, i get to play with this instructor on a regular basis and she's a dealer for gooseflites
