Yonex racquets

[AznAndrew]

Hey, i'm thinking about getting a new racquet, but i don't know which one is better between the Yonex racquets. I currently have a Isometric 52 MF.

Can you please tell me which is better, and what the differences are between Arcsaber, Nanospeed, Armourtec, Musclepower, or Isometric?

[Smichz]

ermmmm...u'll find lots of info by looking through the threads..
Difference is so big,even between the rackets within its group.

[AznAndrew]

Are you serious? My god.

[Smichz]

What u should do rite now,is tell us what kind of player u r..(do control alot,or smash alot,etc),n what kind of racket suits ur play..stiffness,balance point(head heavy,head light,balance)..then,finding a suitable racket for u will be much easier..

[AznAndrew]

Well, i do a lot of clears, and semi-smashes (In the middle of practicing them right now).

[Smichz]

I can see that u r still unclear with what kind of player u are.In my opinion,u have just started this sport not long ago.Hmm..then what u need now is a practice racket..or a racket that's heavy.A steel racket should help.Then,for matches,just use a balance racket..u can go for yonex isometric for that..a lower end yonex racket.Or,if available,search for kason,or sotx.Which model?..just pick any racket that is affordable n the one that u feel comfortable with..

Just.. dont go for the high-end ones because they wont benifit you much.
As Smichz said, get something which 'feels' good and comfortable.

Well, i've been playing since i was 7...but i haven't gotten good until i was like. 12. I have a Yonex Isometric 52 MF, but i think i stated that somewhere..

Anyone want to clarify was the "52 MF" means?

52 is just the code number given to the racquet, like.. MP99, AT900, NS6000, etc... The MF stands for 'Mega Frame', a bigger sweet spot.

since you don't really know what kind of player you are, a Yonex Armotec 500 would be a good choice. It's a very good overal racket.

[AznAndrew]

Hm. I'll go check it out.

I would recommend Yonex Isometric 75 MF Light. Good for where you are currently in your badminton career.
