    Is it true that rackets which come factory strung with bg65 are demo models?

    Really . My racquet is a June 19 manufactured model. So I just don't hope that it should be like that.

    Nope... your racquet is a freaking auspicious day for Chinese peeps who collects frames for collection...

    Day 8, Month 8, of Year 2018, production line 2.

    SO MANY EIGHT. LOL
    And the zeroes give the "round, complete" feeling as well. Man.
    On what else but a..... 8 XP.

    I wouldn't exactly say unique, but more like production line 2 got scheduled to produce Duora8XP's on that day.

    The resulting numbers however, for different cultures, gives a good feeling. It's an Asian thing. More specifically, Chinese..
    Can I ask, does India favor the number 8? Or other numbers?
    I doubt there's a negative feeling for it, but not sure if it makes people go wow ooh ahh?

    In India it is the number 7 that is commonly known as the luckiest number. But due to many cultural diversities in India there may be many more even I don't know . Like the number 786 is known to be most luckiest number for Muslim people. Currency notes' serial numbers here which end with 786 are very much sought for as they are known to grant the owner of that note with luck and money. People pay millions of Rupees to get a Vehicle registration plate with the number 786 for their vehicle.


    In case of negative feel numbers all over India, they are the numbers 13 & 17.


    Also here in India each person who is Hindu has there own special number for themselves due it being written in their life horoscope at birth(it is written according to their date and time of birth). For me it is the number 6. Along with number many more things are there too like affinity of element(fire, water, earth, air), affinity for precious stones, color etc. We are not allowed to know our horoscope as it contains life details happening at some future points. Only color stones etc are allowed.

    A generation before a lot of people used to believe in such thing. For me I have never experienced anything (i dont know what is written in my horoscope) but still don't believe that my future was already written on a piece of paper.

    From what I remember, Mukesh bhaiya had to string the rackets personally before putting them up for show in India Open at a stupidly low tension. (Nanoflare launch)

    I apologise if you were waiting for my review. Actually I am yet to receive the string(ordered the No1) and I cannot simply comment on it based on the stock BG65 as I don't want to put any negative points of a racquet because of the stock strings(no ping at all when I struck them against my hand, so don't expect it to perform well), it is at too less tension. My string will come in a day or two and I have kept it ready(shaved of the wood using my scalpel). And would give my review after that.

    Come on!!! I wanted a win for my beloved racket. I already feel bad as I give it the step motherly treatment after I acquired zf2 again. Give my racket some lime light.

    Hey, just noticed it today, in the spec sheet it was supposed to have the duora grommet thing. Mine doesn't have that. Also by the looks of it doesn't look like a fake to me but still[​IMG]
