It has been always getting a SP Yonex racket. in 2 weeks time its release , I may for a change get a Ch code (China) Version.
These shoes are 10$ more than the SHB102 LTD. The retail prices and ETA can be found on this page (you can change the language in the top menu): http://www.lecoinbadminton.com/store/collection-lin-dan-yonex
That's weird, the CH version in here costs $118-125 ($20-27 less than the CH version of SHB-02LTD at $145). The SP and TW version will cost even less than that. Around $90 more or less I predict.
Yeah, different distributors may have different pricings. Also, SunRise has the right to use the Yonex name and has been making a lot of exclusive products based on Yonex existing names. I wouldn't be surprised if they made a cheaper/lower end Lin Dan shoes with the same colors/design to take advantage of this promotion.
Available in 3UG4/5 and 4UG4/5. Some smaller markets will most likely only have 2 variants. In Canada, it should be 3UG4 and 4UG5, just like the VTZF2
omg called my local racket shop about this racket and they have SOLD OUT on pre-order and is even already sold out for pre-order in Rakuten, Yahoo Shopping and major online shop rackets here , there's a rumour that it's head heavier and stiffer than original VTZF2, anyone to confirm this?
MikeSCully Has the racket available in Japan domestic market ? or is it still in pre-order period ? I just browsed several online shop there, and it seems all are sold out..... There are few sellers from Rakuten & Yahoo Shopping, who still has it in stock but the price is much expensive.... Appreciate if you could provide any link from an online seller (other than Rakuten / Yahoo Shopping) who still has it in stock. Thanks
a friend of mine who pre ordered will get his next week and my racket shop already sold out meaning they wont even sell it in their shop, this time no 30%off like usual meaning its the most expensive racket right now, about 3000 yen more expensive than Glanz which is around 22000 yen here, I only buy from trusted site for JP coded rackets with 3 months Yonex Japan official guarantee, made in Japan printed on all rackets shafts and all the reliable sellers have sold out on preorders, some sites could be selling non JP rackets so make sure to double check before purchasing
Thank you for sharing. I note that there is no 30% off for this model, compared to other YY products in JPN Domestic Market. I assume this model is the best selling limited products there, compared to last year's VTZF-2 LCW. Some of my regular online store, like sunfast (cheaper) or shuttle-house (most expensive), doesn't have this model in their stock. There is another online store, i.e., ikkyu-new (mediocre) but they are out of stock too. I also seek through the Rakuten and Yahoo store, there are several sellers who still have this model in stock, but their pricing are crazy high... 28k Yen.... I would have to do harder and seek for other online store who still have this model in stock and at the reasonable selling price. I want this model so bad (the JP Code) to be added into my current collection. Btw I am just aware, based on your explanation, the existence of non JP Code being sold in Japan domestic market. I never thought of that, and assume all rackets being sold there are JP Code. Anyway, thanks for sharing again.
LCW model my racket shop still had them at the store when it came out despite 30%discount, LD model will not be able to see them as they all were pre bought even with no discount so seems LD is so popular here. my trusted shops sell only JP rackets with 3 months warranty card and free stringing fee, some shops will sell non JP rackets bought overseas for much cheaper price so make sure to check if its 日本製 for JP rackets, sorry I don't buy non JP coded rackets because JP rackets have warranty, quality, discount and free strringing
Yes the LCW Model was being sold with 30% discounted price at that time I agree. The JP Code (along with special Professional Players' Code) is much more valuable to be collected here too (compared to other YY coding).
Ok everyone. There is no difference in quality between the different codes racquets. It is just a myth that JP coded are better. The reason that they are more expensive is because of the illusion that it is better, creating more demand and thus increasing the price. For example, Taufik used Indoemesian coded racquets.
