Clarence07 Neutral Newbie October 16, 2008 Share October 16, 2008 There is a shop selling Yonex racket at Quuensway shopping Centre. 1st Floor. I forgot the name of the shop but It is a short distance from Sports Interlink. For Yonex rackets, do know that some of the rackets parts are made in japan but assembled in Taiwan and some are direct from Japan. Of course, the price you depend on the type of racket you need. You would need to know which style of play you adopt - rally? smash? net shot? etc.. Btw, I doubt it is easy to look for Carbonex 8 or 15 nowadays. Nowadays shuttlecock price also has increased. A tube can cost about $25 to $30. Yonex AS4 or 40 with speed 3 should be ok. Or you can try Protech with speed equivalent of 77. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
