    thats good.... unfortunately my stringer in singapore has very strict requirement on the stringing... the string is only allow to break the packaging only when he wanna strings it. He said that due to high humidity in singapore, it will affect the string... not sure how true is it... I do not change string frequently anyway, just once every 5-6 months...

    Hmmm, but if he also does stringing from reels, they're exposed to the environment too...

    I did a cursory search and couldn't find any Gosen badminton resellers in Europe, although I did find some tennis stuff. You can always try ordering from My Badminton Store. That's where I've gotten all my Gosen stuff thus far.

    I wanted to avoid doubling the price by going through Danish customs that's why I asked for a seller inside Europe. :)

    But seriously, would the customs be that nasty to get you for just a few packs of strings?

    Yes they would. :(
    Danish postal service is not making enough money so they invented an extra fixed fee to be paid to them for every package they handle that needs VAT.
    Before that they only did sample checks but now they checks everything. :(

    Seems like the literary Danish prince Hamlet had similar feelings about Danish Post service::(:rolleyes:
    For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
    The oppressor's wrong, ... the law's delay,
    The insolence of office and the spurns
    That patient merit of the unworthy takes,​

    Ehh... It's Sweden. I have not compared prices. Around 2000 SEK (€200) for a "top racket" from Yonex, Gosen, Victor is not unusual here ;)

    I already did, the price was too tempting. And absence makes the heart grow fonder.

    Broke just hitting clears in a knock-up. It wasn't even that bad a mis-hit, dead centre and just a little high.

    Good old ZM62, you haven't changed. ;)

    Would anyone please kindly compare this to the gosen r4x 110? In terms of hardness, power, tension loss and most importantly durability. Thank you!!

    But no customs under 1100.- DKK. So it depends how many reels you buy...

    If I recall correctly.

    You only pay VAT and fee, if the shipment is selected for test. The last 6 months I have received 11 shipments (badminton equipment and electronic parts) from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and only one of them was "caught".

    Only one of my last ten orders has not been caught so I'm not very hopeful.
