    No, but in the winter, it's usually 12-13 degrees C where we play... at Khas...

    I only asked for reels. I bought a reel of zm67 for £40+vat a few months back from there and this ZMF is £60+vat (trade price).

    Makes me realize how inflated the price Ashaway strings is here.

    40GBP is about 71CAD. The wholesale cost of a ZM reel is 100$ here, which means the retail price is about 140$...

    I might have to start importing my strings from the uk...

    I don't really see me ordering reels of it at those prices, I'm not a big ashaway string fan and I didn't like the sample I tested.

    90 + vat for two reels. 4+vat a set.

    I'll be buying a reel of zm62fire and one of 66/69 after I test 66.

    My experience if one reel canada post might close one eye and let you have it duty free, but for two the chance is not that good. 45GBP is pretty tempting in fact.

    It looks like MBS won't start selling the fire series in the near future.

    I emailed goode sports and they forwarded me to Canada's Black Knight sales rep.

    He quoted for the Zymax 62 Fire and 66 Fire was $7/Pack or $110/Reel.

    For 50 Packs or more, or 5 Reels or more, he will give a 15% discount.

    I have also talked to Winston from MBS, and he says they wont be stocking it till the near future.

    Thanks for your response!

    And that is the Black Knight rep for Edmonton or a local retailer ?

    I collected enough racquets last night that the earnings have afforded me a triple order. 62, 66, 69 :) happy days.
