There's a Yonex promotion here, and I've trouble deciding whether to go for ARC10 Premium or Nanoray 700RP/FX. I'm just getting serious in badminton so I can only share limited info about how I play with you. I play control for most of the time, and only go for attack when the return is of poor quality that I think I can kill-off with a shot. Recently I just acquired a VT70, now I'm considering to get another all-around racket.(since the promotional price is so tempting!) Which one should I choose? (Or which would you choose?)
By your description above, get the 10PR. I used a Nanoray 700RP before, and while it has excellent control and defence, it comes up short in the shot killing and smashing department. This is made worse due to the light head and stiffness of the shaft itself. On the 700FX, it's more powerful when going for the kill, but others feel "numb and damp".
