i know it's not a club or anything.

but i think one of the closest to 17th ave sw would have to be the talisman centre. there's no drop in but the new gyms are a great facility.

still a ~ $8 drop in, and u dunno who and how many people will be playing badminton. ALso, u have to book the court too. I doubt u can book the 'new section'. The regular court have poor lighting, white roof, white walls. Next to the 2 official size swimming pools, u will feel more humid than playing in SE asia.
 
What's wrong with the Kevlar 7 at 25 lbs?

ViningWolff said:
Funny everyone thinks I still string my raquets really low, but I've been playing with 21-22 pounds for about five years, though I tend to stretch the strings pretty quickly. (gee I wonder why)

That new Kevlar 7 I was trying out I had strung at 25 pounds, but I just couldn't control the damned thing. Ryan (Legere) took one swing with it and said " nice raquet, but ain't for you"

Turns out he's right - went back to my old Forza 9000 and started hitting bombs again.

Thanks a lot for all your help Cooler, i actually live on the NW corner hehe.

most likely once i get a car i am going to drop by the indonesian club. I'm still not familiar with the roads yet either. The grid is weird!!
