    The same reason, a small quantity was brought in and it took quite a while to clear.

    Look for Chris at E-link , he still has the luminasonics in stock. At least it was hanging on the rack when i was there earlier this week.
    Another place you can try will be Artric Pacific at sembawang.
    I'm referring to the old Luminasonic F and S Tours

    Pizzaboi, can u measure the estimation dry weight for calibre vf tour? Bc i dont want rackets more than 90 gr (frame + original grip). It hurts my shoulder. Thanks in advance

    hi pizzaboi, which JPX will be more similar to caliber VS tour as I really like the feel of the VS tour but between JPX 8.0 & 8.1 which will be similar to the VS tour?

    Based on specs, closest fit will be JPX8.3. Almost similar specs there.

    JPX 8.0 is the next closest, but has a slightly lighter head balance..
    JPX8.1 is a 3U racket with a medium flex.

    76 holes.

    Retail price is at SGD279.00. The stores will be able to do something for you.
    Visit E-link sports at amk or Gala Sports at queensway.

    They should have stock.

    thx for the info but I already got the JPX 8.0 since this is the only 1 with the anti twist tech and playwise is still quite comparable to caliber VS tour but lack abit power

    Thanks Pizzaboi! I got my Speedflex and Bag very quickly from Chris after you contacted him for me. I haven't got it strung yet but I do normally play with the Yonex 5U rackets. The MZ CP 2004 bag is a very nice color but I didn't realize it was smaller - almost like a kids bag. Thanks for updating us on all the new stuff!

    Can I check if Mizuno replace Razorblade 501 with Turboblade 581? Is Turboblade 581 genuine? I did not see it in the catalogue. The reason i mentioned is I cannot find any shop that sell 501. they recommend 581 instead. Checking the specs, they are similar (501 and 581).... thus the speculative conclusion i made above. Anyone can confirm??

    Hi kctho

    The Turbo blade 581 is not a replacement for the Razorblade 501.

    The turboblades, powerblades are special smu models that are produced for certain retailers and sometimes region.

    Don't worry, those are legit models from us.

    Thanks for voicing out the concerns.

    Altrax 81, 295mm BP , med, 4U
    Caliber VS Tour, 296mm , med, 4U
    Caliber REG ( Okuhara edition ), 296mm BP, Flex, 4U

    Personally i find the Caliber REG ( Okuhara edition ) stiffer than than the specsheet indicated FLEXIBLE .

    Above mentioned 3 models are close to what you are looking for, all regular head frame size of 56sq in.

    Caliber VS Tour looks good. E78 has them for HK1500 which is more than I'd pay locally for a Yonex, though.

    On personal handling between the 2, the VS Tour more closely resembles the Onigiri.

    Premium price for sure, especially their top range. Can't help you with that...heh. The Onigiri is the one racquet we have in common so that makes the base of comparison for VST and REG.

    VST's quality seems solid though, it is a good looking racquet and plays pretty well. Still gelling with it but early impression for me, is that it's a keeper for now.
