I went to this shop today and was shocked there wasnt any mizuno rackets. So i asked the staff and he said that mizuno items including rackets and clothing was just returned as they are old stock. Thats explain why all tc700 that i saw was 1s generation. Perhaps in short time therell be new stock and i believe therell be no more 1st gen but 2nd gen tc700.
here's my collection, It's starting to take on worrying forms From left to right: KARAKAL Tour Gel (new racket, testing tonight) KARAKAL M-tec 80 Tattoo x5 KARAKAL M-tec 70 (taped for weight, 78 grams is too light for me, for sale btw) Apacs nano 9000 (new toy, got it at a very nice price, just had to try it) Victor BS 09 (got it as a refund for my cracked Brave Sword limited) Victor BS 2008 (cracked at the second stringing, sent in for a refund, but I got to keep it, Victor was very nice to me) Sotx LG300 (for sale) Sotx CP7000 (old toy, hardly use it)
2000th Post ! Nice collection Jerby, where did you get the limited victor from ? I don't remember seeing one before.
I sorta 'worked it off'. I was a part-time help as a stringer at the Dutch Junior International I strung about 10-12 rackets and got one from the shop that did the stringing. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60317 The suitcase is really cool as well
So that's where it went. One day I saw it and on Saturday it was gone ... figured the HK team might have snapped it up. They (the shop) had it a long time but it was always €140 ... might have snapped it up if it was €100ish. Show the case!
Nice..I also used to had two but ended up selling them out.Just can't get used to it..I still prefer the old 700..
The way u protect the old700,is the same way i protect my old700.Using the rubber thing.Haha..but to be honest,the feel isn't as nice as when i'm using the Yonex MP grommets.That way it feels the same way as without using any protections. Anyway,nice collections u have there.Other than arc10,i used to have all these rackets.But some of them are sold already.
I'm feeling shame to say that the protecter are coming from the previous owner and I never use this racket for playing game. JP version it's for my collecting only. Apologize for my english. Thanks for your comments.
Haha..well,as long as it's protecting the racket,don't have to care about how u get it anymore. If it's for collection,i think u shouldn't string the racket.So,it proves to me that u are more eager to string them n play with them,rather than just to buy n put it as a display. Once again,great collection!
Most of these JP version, i had buy 2nd hand and they are strung by previous owner. These rackets may be trade among me and my friend at any time in the future, so I did not cut the string for they could evaluate the racket's condition easily. Thanks again
