Hi to all players, I'm seeking for helps from you guys on choosing a new racket for myself, I mainly play double, less single. I'm all rounder~ Having difficulty in drop and backhand I play twice a week My budget is below RM600 Currently using Apacs Tantrum 200 and now im seeking for heavy heavy racket with stiff shaft Thanks ~
sounds like you might want to look at the yonex z-force or the victor meteor x80 from your description or did you do your own research? have any racket in mind so far?
i tried to swing the yonex z-force(without string and grip) and i felt some pain on my upper shoulder @@ mayb its too stiff for me? so far i did some research on Voltric 80 due to the high recommendation from people based on review.. Dint do any research on meteor x80 ~ izzit as stiff as z-force
meteor x80 is less stiff compare to vt80 IMO ... havent have any upper shoulder problem compare to the vt80 and zforce (i sprain my shoulder when i swing my friend's vt80, lol) ...if you want less stiff ... can get the mx70 or mx60 ...
hmm, i think i will stick with stiff shaft racket ~ will go to some shop and try on the meteor x80 too ~ any recommended shop ?
i bought my victor from far east distributor in pandan indah .. other place i aint really sure or you can buy from our local forum lowyat.net under username arc1414
elin collection? never heard of that lol ... never been to the victor official distributor ... just opposite the old town white coffee kopitiam pandan indah
if you willing to try something new and might give interest to you. can have a look for the finnex brand. i own 2 of the racket now, a low range finnex titanium300 and high range finnex infinity gold which both give me pleasure in my game play compare to my oldies nano fusion, tantrum200 or even visible hollow 1200. some more the price is reasonable to me as well...
You might want to consider Victor SW35 also... stiff shaft and head heavy. E Lin is quite a good place to visit. You also can try KD sports at Kota Damansara. From what I know, you can get cheaper price outside compare to getting direct from Far East...
No i dint~ because the price of Apacs Tweet 6000-8000 with the top up of RM 100++ i can get a mid-high end yonex racket already .
i not sure where got shop for finnex but i bought it online in this local malaysia chinese & english forum, the owner is quite a nice person to talk to as well... http://cforum1.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?tid=2029734&extra=&page=1 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1516955
imo, why dont u invest the money for coaching since u said u have problems with your backhands and drops.... for me, tantrum 200 already a decent racket..... a good racket does not promise any improvement in your technique....
the tweet is considered the high end racket. actually you may try the RKEP Pro9000 or 6000, is pretty good racket. high end racket from RKEP. the price is quite reasonable and cheap (you can go to the RKEP thread). the racket has helped me with my backhand and dropshoot.
There is a guy who sells Finnex rackets online. His name is James if I'm not mistaken. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1516955
