    I have to-date modified about 30 La Fleche Ti500 racquets, and all seemed to have the same balance feel but the static b/p varied from about 29.5cm to slightly less than 32.0cm. This means they were all different.

    My AT800DE has a b/p of 30.9cm with strings; the AT700 31.5cm, also with strings. But both, although good, are no match for my own personal La Fleche Ti500, which I believe is the best that has so far been produced. In case you have any ideas, it is not for sale. :D

    Yes, I can modify your racquets. But it takes at least a week. Also the strings and grip must be stripped and replaced. There is also some risk-on average I damage one racquet out of ten. :D
    Both my AT700 and AT800DE are 3U; my two MP99 2U.

    I think I am on the brink of doing even better than 'a replica'. When the time comes I will let you have my La Fleche Ti500, the current unchallenged La Fleche top dog, for a reasonable price. :D

    thats what i heared and you can even read between the lines of his posts that he really knows what he is talking about.

    by the way jhl would you be kind enough to write the reviews/performance of your lf500.

    one more thing if god permits i think it wont be long that i would also be one of the fortunate and grateful owners of a lf500 thats been through the hands of tep;) according to taneepak he is already on the brink of selling to me (reasonable price) THE LF TI 500 UNDISPUTED TOP DOG!!!:D

    You can pm jhl in Singapore and ask him if you can join him in some games and try out his La Fleche Ti500, before committing yourself. Another Singapore contact for a try out is thru Loh, but that La Fleche Ti500 is not on par with jhl's. There is another chap in Malaysia, and also one in Brunei, who have what I would consider a class 'A' standard La Fleche Ti500 (jhl has the same class). :D

    I've tried the ti500. In terms of all the model of Ti in the La fleche range. the ti500 is the best IMO. Its more of a head heavy side. Good respond both in fast drives and clear. Power is fairly good. One thing it lacks is control ( maybe is because the one i tried is low in tension ) according to my friend its 28lbs , but i think its around 24lbs to 25lbs.

    I can feel some vibration when using this racket. Don't really feel solid impact.

    Overall it is a good racket in that price range.
