lol.. just happen that i was there last week for trip.. anyway, i believed the racket price in TW still much cheaper compare to SG .
How much was the racket in TW? I will be in Taipei City by the Daan District come March 2014. Would you be able to recommend Victor stores for me to check out? Thanks
yes.. i found a very good and reasonable shop among the rest.. in taipei city (yong chun station).. PM me if you want to know the location of shop and price for MX90, TK6000 etc..
I am looking forward to this being available in February/March. I'll be delighted to have one in bag again. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
I can't believe that for one moment. There is no way a racket manufacturer will not issue a warranty. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
I think what he is trying to said is if we buy Tw code racket n used it in example Singapore, there will be no warranty for the Tw code racket if some thing happen to the racket.
JUST for your knowledge... TW coded rackets are everywhere.. even your beloved chris from ELINK have TW coded victors.. . its just the same everywhere.. when u have problem with the racket within the warranty period.. just bring it back to them and they will deal with their suppliers...
agreed with you fully! Since he mentioned no warranty, please sell the MX80 at very discounted price then. not SGD166, LOL http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-(Singapore)?p=2180193&highlight=#post2180193
With all rackets that are country coded and with international boundaries in place, any racket purchased outside the country it is designated for, immediately loses warranty. I assume it's because the distributor cannot replace a racket and then seek recompense form another country. I would have thought this was a bigger issue with the likes of Yonex who have so many distributors throughout the world. However, with Victor there are fewer distributors. So if I purchased a racket in Germany it will be coded the same as one from Sweden for example. It may be different in Taiwanas there is Victor Taiwan, Victor Malaysia which could therefore have different coding for their rackets. Unless there is agreement to cover each other in terms of replacement then we will not break this international issue. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
My friend transported this racquet from Hong Kong for me - best Xmas ever ! Looking forward to getting it strung and tested in the new year. Hoping (expecting?) the transition from MX60 to MX90 won't be too difficult.
The system sounds kinda dumb to me... So far Victor rackets r produced in Taiwan or China. Now why should the warranty responsibility lie with global distributors? Shouldn't they just simplify matters by centralizing the warranty in Taiwan or China or both. On the global distributors side, they should just replace broken rackets (within the warranty period, subject to bla, bla, bla,.....) with no questions asked. They could then mailed back these broken rackets to Victor (Taiwan or China) to b reimbursed...that's all there is to it.
Sounds easy Teddy, especially as many of the distributors fall under Victor Asia or Victor Europe. So, in essence they could run purely a bookkeeping entry between countries e.g.malaysia to Taiwan to replace a broken racket. The difficulty here is that Victor Europe have different products than Victor Asia e.g. Lightfighters. So unless there was agreement to take all products in terms of weights and grip sizes for rackets then there will always be problems. We should also remember that Victor Europe is owned by private shareholders who are not the same shareholders as Victor Asia. So, two seperate businesses selling a branded product. tricky.

Lightfighters are made in China for the European market only. There are three Lightfighters at the moment and a new one is expected in 2014. They have been a tremendous success and I'm surprised Victor Asia hasn't introduced them into the wider market to complete against Flashboost. For me these rackets are so much better than Flashboost.
