They are still available in Japan (proof on the jp site).

Her Model of the SFit was never available for sale in the US, although it was close in specifications to the SFit-3. My point was that Yonex is no longer selling the SFit in the US market and has not been for almost a year now, funny that she is still playing that technology. She also had it strung "for comfort" which surprised me as well.

Anyone know where to pick one up?

They do. Using them on my Yonexs.

Not the first time a Japanese co. pays more attention in their home market. And you never know what pj she is really using. Kimiko Date also got much more following in Japan. Nothing wrong with that sales strategy.

I think they said 42 on Eurosport the other day? And she looks very fit.
