Hey,
I'm looking for a badminton racquet but im not sure where to get a decent one cheap.. only shop i know of around my area is rebel and the selection of racquets aren't that good for the price.
are there any shops i can buy from online cheap and real?? (i've looked on ebay but i think all the cheap ones are fake)
thanks
Usually for Badminton Racquets I take a short trip to Malaysia and get good and cheap ones. Plus I can test them out too and get them re-string to my own liking!
As for getting them purely in Aust. I suggest you to go to local badminton clubs and ask for re-stringers or whole sellers. They tend to sell better quality racquets and at a more reasonable price!
Local sport shops are all too expensive and poor quality!
The club I used to play at socially has a decent range, and not too expensive.. plus you can haggle if your buying more.
The guy's name is Pat :)
Here is the link
If you're in Brisbane you could forgo the shipping and pick it up.
i brought my yonex muscle power 99 from www.badmintonshoponline.us …shipping took awhile but it arrived.
thanks guys.
im not sure how to identify fakes or not.. just online prices are way too cheap .. and location is in china.
will have a look at those 2 online shops posted. i would go to a local badminton club.. but i dont know of any in this area unfortunately.
When it comes to ebay I look for sellers with feedback at least in the thousands, if not tens of thousands; and at least 99% positive. If you want some added security you can specify ebay stores that are in Australia.
I agree though, China + ridiculously low price usually = fake! Check your local uni international student services for badminton clubs too! It's not such a big sport in Aus, but a lot of Asian students I know play religiously! ;)
Rebel have decent racquet for $50. Sign up for their season pass to get $20 credit. You will then it for $30 which is pretty good price.
Hi
I am looking for two good racquets too.
Let me know if you get an answer to that question.
Good raquect in Aus are expensive. Ebay seems to be the way to go. I am not sure how to identify fakes.
Cheers.
