Just want to have a poll here. Everyone open your mouth! But no Yonex racket here. So... that probably will shut lots of ppl's mouths.

I've only demoed them so I don't have extensive experience with them.

a racket that i really liked but is no longer available

RSL 6000

RSL 3200 (japanese version)

It's relatively inexpensive and it's very durable. Oftentimes when an RSL 3200 clashes with another racket during a doubles game (whether a Yonex or Prince or any other racket), the RSL 3200 remains unscathed while the other racket either chips or cracks (especially a Yonex). :D

Currently testing out Victor SuperNano 3.

Although I myself love head-light racquets, I can't help but feel good playing with the Karakal SLTi-80 even though it's even balanced. It's probably the best most evenly balanced racquet I've ever known by Far. If I could change anything about it, I'd probably like to make it +5mm longer, as long as it was still as balanced. That's it's only small flaw (for me personally) in my opinion.

Another racquet I like playing with and play my best with is the Slazenger Xcel S1.

I'm married to my YYs, but my favorite mistress is my Mizuno GP-8.

My backyard badminton set racquet :p

Sotx Woven 8/8a

Woven 9 and 12LE.

As for my taste :

Carlton Airblade Super Lite
Carlton Airblade Lite Ti
Ashaway TMP 990 (MP 99 but less expensive)

I'll have to try any other carlton(s) such as Airblade Tour or Airblade Elite.
I cannot play with ISO head any more, i don't like them, except the Ashaway one at high tension ... :(

Proace Platinum 110 and Ashaway TMP990 for me.

Sorry for the Model No. it should be the Hi-Qua Nanoace 7000ll

Prince Whiplite 900

gosen roots gavun ti2400 but it broke..so now its apacs nanospeed 9000

Lots of popular Sotx rackets seem to be here.

My favourite non-Yonex racket has to be the Astec Ti-25 (designed by Susi Susanti's company). Feels similar to the old Yonex Ti-10 but a tiny bit more flexible.

It's really been well-made and plays beautifully.

oh yeah, i remember Alan and Susi promoting those racquets. that's why it's called ASTEC. can you still get these?

im not sure but my friend used to have them. ASTEC stands for Alan n Susi Technologies. of course who can forget alan budi kesuma n susi susanti. they got married and started their own company.

SOTX woven 9a
Carlton Airblade Ramussen

My favourite non-Yonex rackets are:

HART Maestro Slim
Ashaway XT-90

Do fake/imitation Yonex racquets count?

Besides my YY rackets, my favourite will be:
(1) Woven 16.
(2) Woven 7.
Lee:D

carlton airblade superlite (2003 model! favorite racquet regardless)
carlton airblade lite (also 2003!!)

i started a thread on light racquets.. of all the ones mentioned here, can anyone recommend one that is as very light, and even balanced? preferring something not expensive, i.e < 100 cdn. doesn't have to be from here.. but would prefer the more accessable brands.. prince.. carlton.. or something from HK cause my relatives can send me one.

ProAce Widebody 55!
with the right string tension and grip, it just flows with me

SOTX Powerboss Woven Series:

5A
8.

Also, as for cheap rackets, you can get Carlton ones, still not bad, but good prices.

Victor Satellite II =D
How many of these racquets are left in existance? I've got 2 :cool:

My Favorite rackets right now are....

MMOA MBR-6012 and MMOA MBR-600

SOTX Woven-8. Better value than any YY in the same class.

KASON TSF series, pro ace,and flex pro.

Currently, SOTX Woven 5A and 8.

woven 16,a great racket for single

Sotx Woven-9
a noticable difference when i played with it compared to Yonex Isometric 30 LT.

Been a while since i posted,

If were to choose 4 in no specific order it would be

1. Airblade 2000
2. Airblade Rasmussen (not the cheap one)
3. Airblade / Aerogear 900
4. Aerogear 700


All were carlton and they had huge handle and relaibility problems. But when they did play, they were great for control and feel. Good oval shaped rackets to learn your badminton.

apacs Armor power 800

Pro Ace Abs Power1000
Pro Ace Tbs2

My current favv is the SOTX D-900, great allround, well balanced..
