Hi, i am an intermediate player i am more focused towards singles i am planning to buy a even balance light weight mid flex good badminton racket under inr 5500 i have shortlisted the carlton airblade 37, yonex nanoray 80 ,and carlton fireblade fx9 ... Which one is the best ...and are there any other rackets available ...?
Difficult to say which is the best, especially when the rackets in question are not the popular ones.. For intermediate level singles, considering your even balance preference, I'd say you can consider YY Arc 7. YY Voltic 7 meets your light-weight criteria, although it has a bit head-heavy balance. Adidas Adipower Tour/Pro could be a good choice too. I can't comment on the Carltons, sorry. However, you can narrow down the selection process if you evaluate what you want and don't want out of your current racket.
The carltons u mentioned are kind of flexy compared to most Yonexes ( I am not sure abt nanoray80). Also u are playing w/ plastic shuttlecocks which I am not familiar what kind of rackets that will suit them. If it is available, get a Arcsaber Tour 2. It is a GOLDEN value for anything under US$80 from Yonex. Awesome power, good quality (made in Japan) and best part very manouverable.
i've gotten no feel out of AS002. it's just a very model basic in that series and offers no added advantage for a good player, imo.
