Yonex’s 11.11 sale on Sunriseclick.sg last week featured some pretty awesome steals.
But if you missed that sale, here are some great news to cheer you up.
From 22-24 Nov, Yonex will be having a massive warehouse sale where badminton racquets, apparel, and shoes are going for up to 80% off their original prices.
Here are some items we hope to see at the sale.
The Nanoflare 800 will arguably be one of the most highly-anticipated racquets at the sale.
Released at the end of August, this racquet is head-light and features a razor-sharp frame that will literally cut through air with little effort. This high-end racquet will be available at the sale for $220.
If you’re someone who loves to dominate on court through flat exchanges, this is the perfect racquet for you.
Others who prefer heavier racquets can opt for either the Astrox 88S or Astrox 88D racquets which are going for $190.
The Astrox 88 racquets are also the weapons-of-choice for reigning world number 1 men’s double pair Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo.
Female players looking for a lighter racquet can consider getting the Voltric Flashboost — which is available in the 5U weight category.
The Voltric Flashboost is available at the sale for $100.
Otherwise, if you’re just looking for a cheap racquet without having to break the bank, the GR 201 racquet is available for just $5.90 at the sale.
Here are the prices of some of the Yonex racquets based on the previous sale in May.
Do note that the above prices are generally not inclusive of strings.
As enjoyable a sport as badminton is, injuries are pretty common, especially if you are not wearing the right footwear.
You’ll be able to get badminton court shoes starting from just $20 at the sale, according to the promotional poster.

Students are also advised to bring along their student identification cards, as there will be exclusive racquets deals just for them.
We aren’t sure what these deals are, but we’re sure they will be worth waking up early for and camping at the site of the sale.
