    Erm, did you consider tckang with his horde of gleaming ARC ZSes (add the TH edition). Maybe Sgbad's faithful Zelm collectors too?

    6 already? Maybe you'll be delighted if you can add another 6 (Gen 1 would be nice huh;)?) to round it to a dozen:D! Ugh, but that's a lot of racket!

    Those are single collectors... I know Mongoose has a good collection of ZELM's too...

    6 is enough... maybe a Gen1 just to own it but the Gen2 is superb.

    Is there really a difference between gen1 and gen2 ?
    If so, what are they ? Feel/power? I have a 2U Gen1 TC700.

    That's what I've been trying to find out. I heard Gen2 is slightly less powerful but is slightly more user friendly. I never tried the Gen1 so won't mind testing it out. But Gen2 is good enough... in fact, it's by far the best racket for me now.

    You are concerned that if Gen 1 plays out to be a lot different (note, I didn't say ''better'') you'd rush out to buy all the decent Gen 1s you can find:D?

    On point, paradoxically, I only had the Gen 1 and never played with a Gen 2 so I have nothing to add.

    Somewhat rare but not hard to find I believe, I mean there might be many who's willing to sell it at a premium (I am not one of them...obviously you don't sell your one and only right?). Now, it is better compare to gen 2? That is the question.

    I have both Gen 1. and 2. I think the difference is very small (if it isn't only the mind playing tricks when switching between them), but the gen 2 feels sligtly more responsive, imop.

    Could slightly more responsive translate to slightly more flexy:)?

    Thanks.

    Any brief overall observation between RSL X3 gold vs TC700 (Gen 1) vs WOVEN 16 vs AT700 (old)? Thanks in advance.

    ok. Thanks!

    Hope the TC700 is similar to AT500 (1st gen, light blue) which fits my playing style....:rolleyes:

    Anyone interested to tag along in this purchase as i'm going to confirm my order soon...

    TC700 = HKD860
    Shipping to Singapore = HKD115
    Freebies = MIZUNO ML-70S string + free stringing service

    Total cost thru PayPal = HKD(860+115) x 1.06(PayPal admin fee) = HKD1,033 (about S$180)

    Will ask for better rates if i can get more than 3~5 rackets in this MO.

    Source of racket = e78.com.hk

    I believe it has been confirmed that they are a legitimate retailer that sells authentic products, but I guess it's irrelevant now. :p
