Hi. I'm new to this forum and pretty new to playing badminton. I bought a Wilson TiPOWER not long ago for around 30 CAD and just recently bought a Wilson V6 for around 80 CAD. Anyone know if the V6 is any better? The weight is about the same... it seems weird to have such a large price difference for rackets the seem so similar...:confused:

The basic difference is that the Ti-power has an aluminum head. Both are around the same weight as u mentioned and im not sure on this but im guessing from what i read that both are even balance. Also im pretty sure you got ripped off for the v6 because if you read the review the price was 25.50. Im sure the actula retial price is around $40. However the canadian badminton market is cruel. Thats why i'm starting to buy from mjstrings.com
Great service and prices in Canada. You won't find that at any major Canadian sports store.
