Any recommendations? looking for a new rakcet for doubles play...fast, good at smashing, defense...any ideas? abit bored with yonex, li ning and victor...would like to try brands like FZ Forza, RSL, Carlton...
Yes, FZ Forza have recently become available in Malaysia check out these guys: https://www.facebook.com/pages/FZ-Forza-Malaysia/182667258451437 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pusat-Badminton-Sri-Sinar-JJ-Sports-House/201846233158792 New rackets from the Kevlar range worth looking at are definitely the 10000 S / VS also the Ti 666 is a very good racket also... We also can ship to Malaysia.. find us at Facebook.com/badmintonalpha or @badderz_alpha
yes am interested and aware that forza is now available locally...but I'm not sure what model fits me best...as i've mentioned...am looking for a racket for playing doubles...heard the titanium 550 N-forze is good?
If you are 'bored' with the likes of Yonex and Victor, may I suggest the new Carlton Vapour Trail Tour? It's the racket of choice of Nathan Robertson. It's a mid balanced racket with a medium stiff shaft. However, it's incredibly fast due to it's optimetric headshape; very similar to the Arc Z slash. Carlton have recently updated their entire Vapour Trail range. They look absolutely awesome. I owned the original chrome Vapour Trail Tour and loved it.
Hi, What would help us, just mentioning the Yonex, Li-Ning, Victor racquet(s) you like(ed) to play in doubles. There are numerous of very good doubles racquets, it depends, again, what’s your game style.
yes i'm actually considering this...heard its a good all round racket...any comments on RSL diamond x5 gold?
fz forza ti-550 abit head heavy, stiff, good for offensive play, but my defense gets quite bad with it, not as fast to whip around. the rsl x5 gold is stiff also, but head light, not as much power compared to the x5 silver and white. considering getting the x5 gold also for defensive and front court play in doubles.
i would say x5 silver is all rounder, x5 white more for rear court player, x5 gold more for front court play. x5 gold head light, x5 white head heavy, more power for smashing.
guys i'm comtemplating between rsl x5 silver or gold ( i still can't differentiate between the two besides the colour? some people say gold head heavy....some light...vice versa for silver)...or carlton vapour trial tour....any advice? for fast defense and doubles play...of course adequate attacking power when needed
let me answer it with a quote.. out of all (since none of them is head light which is good for defense) I would say X5 gold if you can use stiff racket (and stiff generally better for double because more stable) if not, X5 silver with medium stiff and slightly head heavy if you want more smash power
