"I have used SYKES BADMINTON RACKETS for the last two years.

Forceful play being my favourite way much depends on the rackets I use. They must stand the atrain of continuous amashing and hard driving while at the same time they should be correctly balanced.

I have tried and found that SYKES RACKETS, particularly the "FLIGHT COMMANDER," possess the essential qualítics and have pleasure to recommend them to all who feel inclined to indulge in first clase badminton.
