    Quality of workmanship is very nice. I use PRO850 and STORM PRO now. The feel is really good for me. STORM PRO is so light, very suitable for doubles. Tapered shaft is really helpful in transfering energy to the head. Really impressed....

    somehow a name like Lipstick 9.0 Pro doesn't strike me as being too appropriate for a badminton racquet.
    hahaha .... maybe one for the ladies ... ;)

    Its indicated the catalog that PRO850 is heavier,how heavy is it really compared to the lipstick? I'm opting to buy that model but still have my doubts if it's too heavy, it is comparable to an mp100 2U? or still a 3U?

    Anyone know where I can order these in the US. The m-geometric site seems to only be taking orders of at least $200, and I don't want to spend that much.

    Humm .. I will say.. it is between MP99 and MP88...
    MP99 is a stiff... ..
    MP88 is flexible. ..

    Pro850 is medium stiff... When you hold it, you can feel the head location. Perfect for smashing....
