    This may be a somewhat silly thought, but I wish that some badminton stuffs would be more made in their country of origin. I'm quite a "purist" in someways that if for example an item is a Japanese product, I'd like it to be Made in Japan and not somewhere else. Lately I've never seen any Carlton racket made in the UK, or a Babolat made in France. Maybe it's just me getting psychologically saturated by the so much Made in China products flooding the market?

    Any thoughts?

    Not going to happen in our lifetimes unless suddenly all western workers are willing to take a pay cut.
