    It was one of the shops on the 3rd floor (Ranking Sports?) at the Bras Basah Complex. I bought them without string and strung them myself after I got back. I noticed the shop at the ground floor, stringing there was done by amatures, looked way off my league. Thanks for the tip of not stringing there.

    I was not impressed by all four shops (3 in the complex) I visited on their technique of stringing, frankly. Your guys in Singapore need to be more selective about where to get your rackets strung and by whom. Otherwise, all the benefits of having top range rackets will be diminished.

    Another thing, don't forget to get some cash handy if you want to buy things there, credit card is no good.

    Lao Liu,

    actually, I don't know whats your definition of good stringing technique or are you referring to good stringing equipment?

    For that matter, actually the 2 shops on the ground floor have better stringing techinique than the other 2 on the 3rd floor.

    My guess is that

    " I was not impressed by all four shops (3 in the complex) I visited on their technique of stringing, frankly. "

    meant minimalist equipment ? Or do you mean you actually spent the time to watch them do stringing?

    Please do not equate quality of stringing with quantity of equipment used. I have visted shops which have expensive computer controlled stringing machines and their strings sucked big time after I strung them ... and it lasted only half as long as my regular one which uses the 'normal' hand pull machines.

    Am I correct on my guess ?

    Actually, I saw some posts in this forum that mentioned that some shops do sell fake racquets in singapore. That got me worried.

    Can we all shift to the price checklist thread instead. I think most questions are already answered there.

    I would say it is cheaper @ queensway as compared to the Yonex shop @ Bras Barsah Shopping Complex (level one)

    It's definitely worth a visit to Queensway Shopping Centre where there are at least 3 shops selling badminton stuffs and plenty of other sports equipments stalls for u to walk around....other badminton shops are normally by itself and nothing more to see
