As i can understand this, it has whip power, it weighs about 93 grams... plus he dynamic flex makes it easier for smashing right? Tell me if i'm wrong please.

Best regards,

Blade

Dynamic Flex? Does that mean it has two flex points? But is it as stiff as MP-100 or Ti-10?

I'm sure it means it has alot of flex...unless i would be mistaking?

Anyone Know why dynamic flex is?

Bend the shaft of your racquet very very slowly, and hold it there. This is static flex. Note the shape of the shaft.

Now swing the racquet as you would in a smash. The shaft of the racquet will also bend. This is dynamic flex. You could, if you have a high-speed camera, note the shape of the shaft.

The two shapes are in general different, because the material making up the shaft takes time to respond to different forces and torques.

If you can overlay high-speed images of the racquet as the stroke progress, such that the handle is at a fixed position and orientation, you will find a series of bent shafts, at different stages of transferring energy from your swing to the racquet head.

The racquet head itself does not deform very much in the swing, up till the point the shuttlecock is struck. If the images are taken side on, you can extrapolate a series of straight lines passing through the racquet head. These straight lines, because they are at various angles to the handle, meet more or less in the vicinity of a point. Naively, we can call this the kick point. But this naive kick point is not necessarily on the shaft.

More precisely, the kick point is the point on the shaft which separates the part of the shaft that is losing rotational kinetic energy and the part of the shaft that is gaining rotational kinetic energy.

Even more precisely, this kick point moves as the stroke progresses. But for most racquets, the kick point tends to stay in a particular small region on the shaft. Some shafts are constructed in such a way that the kick point moves slowly within one region on the shaft in the beginning of the stroke, runs very rapidly to another region of the shaft somewhere in the middle of stroke, and then slowly again in another region of the shaft near the end of the stroke. Such a racquet would then be marketted as having "two kick points".

uhhhhhh what?

im confused -.-

uhhhhhh what?

im confused -.-

i second that .... :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
are you an engineer or physicist by any chance?

Probably =)

But i

No one has any opinions? I mean..this looks like a durable good whip-smashing racquet doesnt it?

When I saw UHMG, I thought very interesting. Then I saw dynamic flex, I thought not very interesting. I need something as stiff as a plank. I just don't think the wibbly wobbly flexing will give me the accuracy.

I agree with you, if you like to do good shots, i just like the power of smashing XD

Anyone? Should i try and get this racquet a review?
