forza: is easlier to break that for sure = lighter
yonex: have a better speed

my own meaning about this is that forza is easlier to play

but dont ferget the best players in japan etc they practice with rackets with a very high weight = power training :) so dont go to light if you want a racket for use everytime you gone have then after a time pain in your arm cuz the newest forza racket is very loooow of weight!

Yonex is a much more better racket in terms of technology. Yonex company of Japan has the best R&D department to develop the racket technology.

I'm using Yonex racket eversince I atarted to play badminton, I guess Yonex is still the best racket to choose. Depend on what type of racket do you after?

For the moment, Muscle Power 100 and Muscle Power 77, are the latest products from Yonex. MP 77 for single and MP 100 for a doubles game

Bernard, Forza has a lot of racquet types that Yonex doesn't have, especially with the characteristics Blaine was asking for.

And regarding R&D, Yonex is lagging. Did the Ti craze really contribute much to the sport? Now they are phasing out the Ti and instead have introduced the MP concept, and while it does have its advantages others have better and more elegant solutions. For instance, if you check out the French brand Babolat and their Satelite range, you will find that they are way ahead of Yonex in terms of useful, non-gadget racquet technology. Technology that is there to actually increase playability and performance, not just to look cool or to motivate a higher figure on the price tag.
