Hey guys! I'm looking for a new racket as I've been using my Ashaway Titianium Power 990 for some time now, and I realised that it is not the preferred racket for me(received it from cousin). I've been playing for 5 months now, playing weekly and I would consider myself at medium-intermediate level. I play both Singles and Doubles, mostly doubles. When playing doubles, I'm usually the front-man and do occasional smashes. In Singles, I rely on placement on the shuttles to gain most of my points - more of a control type. I would prefer a racket with a faster swing speed and also able to deliver a powerful/decent smash - A hybrid racket, in a sense(For both Singles and Doubles). Fitness wise, I feel that I would only be able to handle either a 3U or 4U racket. I'm currently looking at Victor and Li-Ning brands, although other brand recommended would be added to my list too! My budget is around SGD200. If any more details are needed, I would be happy to provide them!
Hmm you seem the same type of player as me. I would recommend the brave sword series as the rackets are very fast which is ideal at the net and for defence. It also gives a decent power for when you're in the back court. stiff: bs10 mid stiff: bs11/09 I believe 12 is the most headlight out of the Bs series I haven't tried the 15 yet, so I can't comment on that If you're looking for a hybrid racket, I'd like to also recommend the Mx series. I think the Meteors have the balance between speed and power if you can handle x-stiff: mx80 Not a big fan of mx70 so might be a bit bias. mid stiff: mx60 Not too sure about Li-Ning, sorry! Hope this helps!
Thanks JukUx! This actually helped a lot, and I've decided to get the bs12 after reading the reviews on BC.
