    420mm probably mean the length of the shaft. ie the shaft actually finishes at the butt cap.

    Well, it is kind of weird~! It seems to me that the frame was collapsing inward due to that print pattern at 3 and 9 o'clock position, everytime when I look at it. To think of that it might be the best time for me to have my eyes check then.

    Cheers~! thanks for the sharing. Appreciated that!

    Where can you find the vertex-2? its not on wilson's website and no stores are selling it. also why are there no other blx-2 rackets?

    maybe it is real, but no pictures to confirm. PLus there will be fusion blx (74g) and energy blx as well.

    I think the sites access is only granted to wteam players .

    footwork 816,

    maybe you should consider finding out what the wteam thing is all about. That way you will probably be able to get your rackets for cheaper. Also they probably can point you in the right direction about becoming a professional in the US.

    No wonder rsh is offering a huge discount for all wilson rackets which might be to make way for new rackets

    I've tried man. I've googled wilson badminton sponsorship and wilson badminton team but nothing comes up. when I did it for victor I found this form you can fill out and send to them so they can consider you for a sponsorship but I've found nothing like that for wilson :'(

    I got this racket from my friend who used to work at Wilson, at 1st I am planning to get the Vertex which uses by Jonas Rasmussen, but then they told me about there is 1 new Vertex, then I end up getting this Vertex 2.

    @ albertchiew,

    I don't think you need your eyes tested. I noticed that as well.
