    I just tried out a friend's 6800 and to my surprise, it's a really good racket. It feels light but generates a lot of power just like the AT800 OF. I can't seem to figure out where the power comes from .... maybe it's the new strings. Nevertheless, I'm truly impressed.

    where to buy

    Hi! i bought it from a friend of mine here in davao, i think his source is columbia marketing there in manila, because whenever i order any RSL equipments i have to choose from the brochure then after a week it arrives from manila....hope i've amswered your question.

    :)

    Anyway RSL seems like another interesting brand, but US$132 for a laser 6900 is rather steep for a non yonex.

    I stand corrected. I think the local standard selling price of the 6900 & 6800 has been readjusted to about P4,000++ or a little below US$80, making it reasonably priced.

    I stand corrected. I think the local distributor of RSL has adjusted the 6800 & 6900's price to below US$80, making it quite reasonable.

    I bought a Laser 6900 racquet last April and I can say that it's one of the best racquets I've ever had -- sadly, it got broken in a freak accident 2 months later. But the control is very good, in terms of net play and drop shots it's a match for yonex's best racquets. Smashing power is also very good and you don't really get the 'head-heavy' feel you get when holding the AT700. Incidentally, I'm using the AT700 now.

    I got it for around US72.00 and it was worth it. The whip-lash action was magnified by the taper shaft giving you powerful smashes but you still have the solid feel during controlled shots. RSL is rather well-known here in the Philippines but the company needs to have better advertising -- having searched the internet, RSL Canada is the only RSL site I've found with at least a detailed description of the features of each racquet, unless you count this new zealand site I visited. Anyway, if given another chance, I would definitely get another Laser 6900. Last time I heard, all dealers were out of stock though.

    Not too bad

    I was sent a Nova 9160 from the Philippines, and It's a pretty decent racket. Clears, drops and smashes are very acurate.

    Hmm...but rm220 is only special price for you right? so if we interested to get can only get through you i presume. :( But i havent seen this brand in singapore yet....if you want just the racquet can just i think they will deduct abit for you for the bag right? If not just get the package then sell me the bag lor? How's that? I offer 30RM for the bag....:D

    think shop just want business. i can get becos i go often to get shuttle. i am sure if you go and do a little bargain and get shuttle from them in future, they will recognise you as regular customer and give you special also. i have a brand new spare RSL bag. selling for $25.:D its a very good bag, not the usual free gift lousy bag.
