Hi, I'm wondering which racket to buy and I really need your opinion to help me decide As a badminton player, these are my general traits: 1. Intermediate level player 2. Mostly play Doubles but more comfortable playing Singles 3. Playing style is more to the control- oriented, not really offensive. ( Offensive when there is an opening) 4. Prefer drop and net shots. Occasional smashes to create openings 5. My smash is not that powerful :crying: PS: Previously used MX80( Sold it already) So, was wondering whether to get F9 to enhance my smashing power, or BS09/ BS11 for its maneuverability and speed. Noticed that Lee Hyun-il who is a very technical player uses BS11 and my playing style is similar to his and that is why BS11 came into consideration. Well guys, please tell me your opinions. Thanks a bunch
As a Bs09 user, I think Bs09 will not be a good racket for singles. As the head can be quite light and cannot generate as much smash power needed for a single game... Its more for double..That is why I went for a head heavier racket when I have the strength for smash and when I am weaker I use the Bs09 for rally
I really liked the racket but I had difficulty adapting to a super stiff racket and I got a rotary cuff injury as a result. So, BS11 is the more suitable racket for me? Does it work well in Doubles too? Guess now I'm down to either BS11 or F9
BS11 is a perfectly good racket for doubles. The BS11 is just a tad faster, but the F9 is surprisingly fast given the non-sword frame shape. The BS11 is also stiffer and head heavier.
