  • @stringerjax They are the $10 rackets you see in shops like Walmart, they're intended for kids and casual players at outdoor parties - not advanced players. I would guess you get about 8 pounds max. I'm sure it would be a blessing if these villagers had actual stringing machines.

  • Stephen, the reason you kept losing is because your serve was above the waist. It's not tennis! :P

  • No doubt someone makes a killing out of the racket business.

    Hopefully one day the workers in China will get a fair share of the profits.

  • my question is, how do they pull tension in the strings?

  • @lastnymleft, the factorys are in sub-urban Zhenjiang cities, very close to Longmen.

  • "Can we film you doing you work because we think it's interesting?", "No you can't!". I would have said the same thing. LOL.

    L0ving the sound effect coming from them when they play badminton at the end, sounds so funny. "e yuh", "yah!"

  • LMAO

  • It is slavery labor, so bye racquets from China!!!

  • 2: communism? extreme capitalism more like it i still believe Europe the UK spacially to be among the fairest nations on earth n the British a really fair n just race of people

  • yes they are very peaceful people never even seen anyone geting upset at their spring festival n yet it was untold numbers there u can accually walk in the parks n the streets anytime day or night in total safety they have wonderful customs n respect everybody BUT i feel troubles are in the pipeline they are now very capitalist some pay up to a £1000 for a feast in top restaurants the BBC yet chinese villagers some "earn as little as £30 year scratching a living from what they grow
