Ha ha sounds like Soh is a nostalgic fellow...heard him make a similar comment regarding yonex rackets as well
Having said that, after talking to him, I think he knows his stuff... so it may not be too far from the truth afterall
Mr Soh is an experienced stringer. I believe it's as what Sealman has said below. ====================================== Well, aren't we opening a can of worms here In fact, Mr Soh has told me before that Yonex JP coded rackets frames are more stable than SP ones. TH coded are the worst.
Sandy Pan - Have SOTX changed manufacturers recently?[/quote] SOTX never changed his manufacturer. So shocked to hear the quality is different . You know the difference of the old version and the new version is just the painting of the logo.... Can painting change the quality of the racket???
But then again, we have to take everything with a pinch of salt. Of course, Mr Soh can say anything he wants now that he is no longer selling SOTX rackets. Personally I have not tried SOTX rackets for long. So I can't really comment on the quality.
Sorry if this is a bit out of place. But creating a new topic for this short question would be too much.. In Queensway Shopping Centre, is there any shop that sells Racquet Bags and Badminton shorts for a reasonable price? How much is it usually? Thanks
The prices in Queensway are generally quite similar. If you are a regular of a particular shop, of course the prices should be (but not necessarily) slightly lower than the others. Just take a walk around and buy from the cheapest shop.
Hi everyone, I'll be in Singapore in 2 weeks, and am after a couple of racquets. However, the aussie dollar is very low (almost equal to Singapore dollar but SGD is slightly stronger) at the moment, so it seems like it would actually be cheaper buying the racquets in Sydney! The best prices I've got is from a shop here but prices will go up starting next week. What do you think of these prices? Should I get the racquets here or in Singapore? - Arc Saber 10 - $219 - Arc Saber 7- $199 -Armortec 900 Power - $229 -Armortec 900 Technique - $229 -Armortec 700 - $219 Yes I will be buying all these racquets... Arc Saber 10's for me and my friends are after the others.
Hmmm..... why is the ARC 10 cheaper than AT 900? Anyway if those are the prices you can get in Australia, then there isn't a need to buy from Singapore seriously. An ARC 10 cost ~S$265.
@modious, I have no idea why the ARC 10 is cheaper than AT 900 but I'm not complaining! Thanks for your reply man you rock! I'm going to rush down at lunch time to buy it!
@modius: I thought I posted a message to thank you earlier on in the day but I can't see it. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the tip and I've just bought the Arc Saber 10 for AUD$219... I think I just got lucky with this one cause badminton isn't popular in Sydney (although it should be!) and it's extremely difficult finding people who sell a good range of Yonex racquets here.
@modius: Dunno why but none of my posts are making it through! I made 2 attempts but the thread didn't update. Anyway wanted to thank you for your price check and I just bought the Arc Saber 10 a few minutes ago for AUD$219. I think I got lucky with this one as badminton isn't popular in Sydney (it should be!) and only a handful of shops stock a good range so there's no competition.
