Hi, I'm and intermediate player that plays doubles, men or mix. I'm more an offensive and tactical player but weak on the defense. I'm able to smash quite decent, I'm wondering which racket will help me more. Should it be a 3u or a 4u? thanks
If it has to be from these 2 rackets , definitely not Arc ZTH , the smaller frame will only make u suffer more when defending.
Depends on whether you like stiff or flex rackets. Up to personal preference and individual swing style. I have the mx80, and it has the most direct and immediate feel I've had in a racket, truly feeling like an extension of your hand. Very accurate and fast, could be slightly lacking in power.
MX80 is worth to be considered.. It defends & attacks well. If it has to be VT80, you should get 4U instead of 3U, stay away from Zslash, IMO.
Don't get the ZSLASH. bought it yesterday and tried it today. I hurt my brachioradialis because of ZS. (Will post of my hand). I'm a beginner as well! This is two hours after playing badminton. After playing, it looked like someone skinned my hand and was purely red. Felt like I was having blisters popped or something.
