    bj, would have thought you prefer a blue color scheme :)

    out of interest, I note that the graphite grade is 40T (40 ton?) according to your website. What does this mean? i see this '40T' imprinted on Apacs racquets as well.

    oh, go ahead and don't be afraid :) We have lots of members from USA as well and you are welcome to type in English in BR as I really think TW people need to practice English anyway. (no wonder TW people don't participate in world level games often, they probably don't understand why umpires are saying :p)

    I have no problems with bandwidth as I am not doing the pictures hosting anyway :D (in fact, the BR server is in the US :p )

    I can't do blue because I know people will be mad at me and probably call me selfish :p:p:p (nah, I'll think about it ;) )

    40T is the graphite grade. Normally, the higher you go, the stronger it is. However, the cost of the 40T is much much more than the 30T, and that's the reason very few rackets out there uses 40 or above.

    Haha :D we love to make badminton fun!! That's the reason everyone is playing :) !!

    BTW, after looking up, I think we should still have two or three BR-LE rackets left as some people never come and pick up their orders. So, people who are interested in the racket can PM me about it.

    Too bad that the racket is ISO and head heavy (all against my own preference :eek: ). Otherwise, I don't mind to add one into my collection. :rolleyes:

    At the very beginning, I suggested to make the racket oval. However, since TW people have fantasy about the ISO-head, I had to make it to be ISO.

    But if I have the chance to make another one, I will definetely consider to make a Oval head. :)

    No wonder the ppl from TW are always to be considered as "modern", well me always being labeled as an old timer. :D Here're my own preference at this moment, and hope your next design can factor some of them in:

    Oval, stiff, long, even balanced (or head light), G5 grip size ;)

    So, you need a 3U (90 grams) G5. Yonex type of Oval box frame at 675 mm and even static balance? :) Ohhh, add one layer of Yonex Super Grap!
