Is there something wrong with the IBF link? Hi yschin, I click on the link and it says "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Servererror '80040e14' Syntax error converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier. /newscontent.asp, line 394". Why ???...... Is there something wrong with the IBF link? What is the link about ? Anyway, see you tonight @CATS. Cheers... chris@ccc
Chris, the link has the same effect on me. Nothing too exciting for non Taufik fans. It is the latest news from IBF i.e Taufik defeated a seeded player Ng Wei of HK quite easily and a write up about his possibility of meeting Lin Dan.

If you were talking about racket, then try sportsmart (http://www.sportsmart.com.au/) at the end of finacial year (say July). They have shoes+racket. I pick up a armotec 500 for $100 ages ago. But if you were talking about shoes, i recommend other brand like fila cos the hairing bone structure at the bottom of the shoe is much smaller. The smaller the hairing bone, the better it's for grip. That grip of the shoe is especially important for us who like to play net. For shoes you need to go to their factory outlet, like fila factory outlet or nike factory outlet near the city. Further information on how to choose of shoe, please consult Chris on supper. If you are talking about clothes, I have yet to see Yonex shirt being sold in Melbourne. C u friday!
Thanks for that Ken but yeah, I do know about Sportsmart but they rarely do specials on badminton racket now. I bought a MP-55 for $100 including BG65 string a long time ago from them. But look what they've done to my beloved Armortec 700 :crying: they've painted the shaft red... it doesn't look good mixing with black on the frame. (the pic on the left) and for you guys who's interested. the new NS7700 (the one on the right). Cheers, Andrew
One more thing to add on the above, for badminton grip, if you like replacement grip (a grip that you put on top of your existing one) - you could go anywhere. But for replacement grip, not many places carry those. Even so, some of them are very expensive and charge $20. I always wonder why there are 2 different color version of armotec 500/700. Could that be because they are made from different countries?
Nahhh.. Yonex sometimes release update version for some of the racquet, nothing to do with they they are manufactured. I think it's only a marketing ploy. As far as I know, AT700 has 3 colours. The original 1, then a Japan Red came out around 6mths ago.. then this latest one. Same with AT500, the new colour came out at the start of the year.
The MS QF looks quite interesting now.. LCW vs BCL CJ vs LHI CH vs PG LD vs HH I am predicting SF will be LCW vs LHI and PG vs LD. Both CJ and CH got pushed to 3 sets in their 2nd round matches and they probably are disadvangted when PG and LHI had easier victories... What do you guys think??
Thanks. At least now i know the reason behind different colors, so next time i won't tell people the wrong info. Besides, you still up for next tuesday DTBA with Chris+me?
Greetings from USA!! Hey everyone, As requested, here's some pics of Boston and me attending the conference. Boston's been great. The weather has been beautiful and people have been really nice and friendly. I don't notice the difference in accent much (though the texans and southernors have a really distinct one) and I've been complemented on how aussie i sound (I've been bombarded with questions regarding the croc hunter and 'CRIKEY!!'). I've had a few close calls with crossing the road, keep on forgetting I'm not at home. The food servings are huge and I'm gonna blow up into a huge whale by the time i get back, I desperately need some exercise!!! Laurie's well, he's currently stuck in Newcastle and I miss him lots:crying: . Anyway, should leave this short and sweet, hope all is well!
To LisaC in Boston, USA Hi LisaC, Thank you for your pics from Boston, USA. Boston looks lovely and you look lovelier. Hope that the conference goes well for you. And take care when crossing the road. Yes, we will give you the exercise you desperately needed when you have returned to CCC Badminton. But please don't come back as a huge whale. Cheers... chris@ccc
