I own a racket called a "Alpha Black terror 510" has anyone heard of this raquet or know anything about it? If so PLEASE let me know something about cause i sure don't.

Well I've never heard of it but i may be able to help if you gave us the weight, price, balance point, where you purchased and even a picture, we may be able to give our inputs.

Well i don't know where it was purchased. I know that the racket is somewhat old.. i would around 10 years.. my brother gave it to me when he graduated from high school cause he stopped playing badminton after that. as for the pic. i will get one up soon. and I don't know anything else about the raquet

balance point can easily be calculated by balancing the racket on your finger and measuring the balance point with a ruler from the handle up. As for the weight, you can find a scale I guess. BTW how much badminton do you play per week?

I play badminton Twice a week with my friends after school, But I am looking into the local badminton club which may propell me to around 3-4 times a week. i normally play for aroun 2 hours each time.

If you're serious about badminton, and your racket is over 10 years, I would recommend you replace that racket or get it restrung at least (you can also change the grip if its worn out). If you're looking to get a racket, I wouldn't recommend a Yonex in particular (unless your rich).

does alpha rackets come before or after beta rackets :confused: :D

Well that racket has been maintained, it has a failry new grip on it and the strings have been replaced consistently. I am however in the process of getting new strings and grip. I have already purchased by grip and am debating over different strings, and suggestions? I was thinking black set of BG-66 to go with my Alpha Black Terror! It just sounds good Black terror and then all black, that is money.

what exactly is the balance pt. of a racket?

The balance point of the racket is 26.7cm, that was measured from the Very bottom of the handle up to where it balanced. The weight of the racket is a flat 90g oh and it is all carbon graphite, or so the case claims... oh and this is written on it "Aero wide body is deisgned for reducing air resistance to provide max power and speed" which is most likely a bunch of rhetoric.

It seems as if you took care of this racket! Do you live near a stringer? Although I've heard nothing but good reviews from BG-66, it is quite fragile compared to the BG 65. For me, i live far from a stringer and BG65 has been quite nice to me ^^. Generally the string you use is upto you depending on your situation. Why don't you read some reviews on some strings?

Well i live in a fair size city and getting it strung isn't much of an issue. I want all performance, and from the reviews it seems like the BG-66 is the string to have. My basic style of play is nice and deep to get the opponet moving up and down the court, until they give me a present and i like to smash it right at them. I also like to play nice drop shots. But most important is the back to back clear.

So does ANYONE know anything about my racket "Alpha Black Terror 510" The balance point 26.7cm and the weight is 90g

Is the correct name of the brand is "C.N Alpha":confused:
