Hi, Mr. Pun just replied to me and he stated that he had computer problems and he said he'll send me the information on around the 11th.....I think you should email him yourself if you want first-hand information
how big is this company anyway PS a 10 year old has a more reliable pc than that. hmmm, he can reply today but not tomorrow
Well a 2U would have a better chance of survival if it clashed, right? Also you STILL haven't told us on the issue of changing the balance point. I'm really curious to know!!! (PM me if you want to keep it private)
I just got a 4U LF Ti 500 Super Light racquet, had it strung an hour ago and re-balanced it to 31cm, and adjusted the total weight to 87.1g. The colour scheme of this lighter 4U racquet is different, with light shades of purple on the outer rim and white on the inner rim of the frame. The shaft is also light purple and white. The ladies would love it, but I might feel a bit sheepish when I try it out to-morrow morning.
I never had a chance to even test it. A lady player took it from me because of the looks-nice pastel purple/white colour scheme-and played with it the whole session. I found it hard to refuse. Not only that, after the session she asked me for a favour : could I let her have the racquet for 3 days to allow her young daughter to test it? Again I could not refuse. After 3 days she 'phoned and told me she wanted to keep the racquet to give it as a reward for her daughter who did extremely well in some recent school exams. She told me she took my racquet with her daughter to have a badminton training session under Ng Sung Yuen. Incidentally Mr Ng is quite a formidable player despite his advanced age. Some say he is a former top Indonesian or Chinese player. Needless to say my racquet was handed to Mr Ng for a more thorough scrutiny and he was very impressed. Well that seals the fate of my racquet-she wanted it as a reward for her daughter and I had to let her have it for the same price I paid. I had to buy another one yesterday, but this one is about 2g heavier at 84.6g. I have just got it strung this morning and will have a session Monday morning.
was the lady attractive taneepak??? i m just playing .. hehe and 4U rackets.. hmmm i love them! let me know how it compares to other 4U rackets in terms of manuvebility (sp).. and power.. (ie. AT800 DF 4U) if its very manuveible with excellent power (like the at800 df).. then it is definately a good one! Newbi
the racquets look ok although some are pretty nice-looking like the 300 400 and 600Ti....but i'd still prefer Yonex colour schemes an designs.. ...they should be pretty durable too right since they have tungsten and nickel which are relatively strong materials....
This is what I got from Percy : LF-Ti500: Red and black. Nick titanium and Tungsten. 3U-G4 About 675 mm long with slightly isometric head. Shaft is about 222 mm long, with width progressing from 7.0 mm to 7.5 mm in the mid section and finally to 8.0 mm close to the handle. Designed to maximize power towards the top of the racket. Quite good for attacking. Slightly head heavy (i think) with the original grip. Up to 28lbs. CND $112. Not including strings. Plus shipping. LF-Ti600: Blue. Tungsten. 3U-G4 Super long, about 680 mm. Unique Groove design for head. Increase power by 20% Special flexible shaft. 214 mm long Well balanced. Up to 28lbs. CND $137. Not including strings. Plus shipping.
I also got the same reply, but Percy doesn't have the shipping cost yet. I wouldn't mind paying 112+shipping right now, but it would be slightly too much if I have to add taxes on top. To the people around GTA interested in ordering one from Percy, we should get together and make one large order, that way, we can save on shipping and maybe a slight discount? Would love to get one before X'mas, but... taneepak, is the 4U being sold in HK, or just available to special people? I might ask someone to pick one up for me in January
when i checked out pics of the la fleche racquets on bbesports.com, the ti100 and the 500 had exactly same paint jobs except the numbers. what's the difference between them?
-The 500 has the telescopic shaft -The 100 is much softer than the 500 -The 100 uses graphite instead of high modulus graphite -The 100 has Muscle Power bumps, the 500 doesn't
between the 600ti and the 500ti, which is better in power and which is better in control? what is the stiffness of these racquets? and isn't muscle power bumps a good thing?
Both the Ti 500 and Ti 600 are very good, the former is strictly for doubles and the latter for singles play although the Ti 600 can be used in doubles. The 500 is better in the sheer ferocity of its smash especially nearer the net, the 600 is better in both attacking and defensive clears and also packs a powerful smash only marginally below, but not as sharp/steep as, the 500. Basically one is designed strictly for doubles, the other is designed strictly for singles but can double up as a doubles racquet. Both are good in control and their shots and placement are very precise and solid. The Ti 500 is not as good in rapid return of smashes but is a terror near the net. I haven't tried the others, so I cannot comment. The Ti 500 uses a combination of nickel and titanium, which is different from Yonex's UltimumTi (also nickel/titanium), plus tungsten and a weird "telescopic" shaft which is more like three different shafts joined into a single shaft, which I suspect accounts for its whip-like smash.
The 4U is similar to the 3U, lighter and slightly more maneuverable and a little less powerful. The colour scheme of the 4U I find a bit too feminine for me. But some people just love it. It now goes to my wife. I prefer the more manly looking red-blooded 3U. Will test the 4U vs 3U more thoroughly coming saturday.
