This guy called Ralph is the worst business man I've ever seen. He runs Portland Badminton Club based on rip-offs. He strings racket for people at $30-$40, while the normal stringing price is $20. The price is not a problem, the problem is, his $30-$40 stringing job is so SUCK! Probably the worst, suckiest in the Oregon. For $30-$40, you can only get a very crappy string, which doesn't even cost you more than $3, and when the racket is strung, you can see some part of the string is twisted, and is kinda lose. Yonex used to sponsor his tournament, but he took all the good prizes himself, and gave us very crappy prize—even if he already told us what Yonex sponsored him. And at the end he just blamed everything on Yonex, which is so. He did the same thing when LiNing sponsored his tournament. I know he took some nice prize himself because I have a friend who works at LiNing, and I clearly know what prizes were for that tournament. Besides charging people ridiculous high without ensuring the quality of stringing and illegally taking the tournament prizes himself, he also charges ridiculous drop by fee. Portland Badminton Club doesn't even have a shower room, and the court sucks, but the charge is still $8-$10, which is what some good-quality Seattle/California badminton clubs' drop by fee. Do not sponsor this guy, do not go to this club and play, do not ask this guy to string a racket for you, and also, do not do business with him, because he always lies and has almost 0 credits.
