    Hello all

    I really need to buy a pair of good rackets and my budget is max 200 € for both. I will be playing in a tournament next week and right now I only have a Head Helix 10000 and Yonex NS 7700.

    So which one of the following do you recommend?

    Voltric 9
    http://www.tennistown.de/product_info.php?products_id=9358{12}1155

    OR

    Victor Super Inside Wave 35
    http://www.tennistown.de/product_info.php?cPath=25_135&products_id=6651


    I
    also want to order a 200m Head Super Power 71 string for them:

    I
    appreciate any help

    SW35 is completely different to what you have now so in that sense it would be smarter to go for VT9 on short notice ...
    Or VT5 so you can buy some decent strings instead [​IMG]

    just buy whatever and use them as backups. Switching to new rackets and strings is NOT something you do days before a tournament... unless you know you're going to get destroyed anyway, then new rackets at a tournament makes for a fun experiment.

    VT9 is a relatively new model and perhaps it also plays a role there has been no review yet by this guy ;) http://badminton-coach.co.uk/2000/yonex-voltric-5-badminton-racquet-review/
    But it also would have played a role in recommending something whether or not you are happy with your current rackets or missing something in them. There are so many factors it is almost not fair to recommend without seeing the person in action :D; but I guess the folks around here try best they can based on the info given (accurate or not ;))

    I would not buy a 1-digit Voltric. Tested a fellow club player's VT5 briefly and it was absolutely gruesome - heavy and numb.
    Go with a Victor, the 35 is rather stiff so maybe the 36 would be the better option coming from Head.
