    I'm not attacking you Dan, just messing around. :D
    So to set the record straight:
    Mr. Panda, alias Dan, is NOT a spy for SGVBC. He is just a birdie breaking, racket snapping, bamboo eating panda.:p

    I met Illusionist Pro today and according to William/Hi-Qua, we were actually the first two people to test out ABC's new court. I feel so honored. :eek::p We hit for about 15 minutes and the flooring felt good. Good traction and good cushioning. My panda knees didn't hurt at all. :)

    Anyway, the flooring is in and as you can see, they're just about done drawing the lines. The nets will be up by Friday.

    Here is the layout:

    Wow and thanks for the pics..

    ..and yes, i'm sure you are, Dan..:D;)..Btw, i passed by the complex sometimes last week and took a quick drive by the building..From what i could see and imagine from the outside, i would say the place is nearly as big as OCBC, but bigger than SGVBC-I think this one is a bit more squarish in comparison to OCBC..At that time, I noticed the side door was opened but noticed the warehouse was already cleaned out(lights were dim). The front lobby was still pre-occupied by a few workers employee, though...
    But overall, the new place looks mighty schweeeeeet!! Finally So-Cal, esp. San Gabriel baddie community, has a new facility:):D;):cool:...I can't imagine a happier Master NGP to have a new baddie home..:D;):cool:

    Hmm, i wonder how this new club will affect SGVBC?? I would guess more and more people will try out and play at the newer club..:confused::cool:

    From the pictures, it looks like the ligths are in the view when looking up from the baseline.. seems not to good lightning setup...

    Or maybe its just looks that way from the photos..
