    Looks great!! Very retro sporty inspired. It reminds me of 1970's Japanese Anime G-Force.

    There will be 3 shops in Queensway, but most likely only after CNY then the range will be in the racks. So let us get the details finalised first as we want you guys to see the full range for 2016.

    No online stores at the moment, at least not from proper authorised channels. You are looking for the Altrax 83 ?

    Next post just for you Smashface

    Hi Wussy,

    That will be the JPX 8.3 or Tachyon 9.7

    Both are stiff flex with 295mm BP , and at 85g 4U.

    JPX 8.3 features a Aero-hexagram frame with Nano-PEF shaft ( lightweight yet exellent shock absorption ) where as the Tachyon 9.7 features a V frame with TI-wire ( stability on flex and vibration ) in the shaft.

    Thank you for detail replied. So am I safe to assume that Jpx, lumina sonic is more of even balance to fast exchange. While caliber is heavy hitter?

    Caliber has one of the heaviest head in the line up, the F Tour is a 3U5 305mm and the S Tour 300mm 4U5 with stiff shaft.

    So the JPX 8.3 and the Caliber Tours will be recommended for hard hitters.

    For balanced play and fast exchange, JPX8.0, JPX8.1 and the Luminasonics does the job pretty well.

    Still it boils down to the players personal preference.
