    Yonex wasn't kidding when they say that the Ti-SP SA has the most flexible shaft.

    Check out the shaft of the racket during a swing!

    That looks very flimsy.. more like using a cane and play badminton.

    that first picture is outrageous! I never Bend rackets that much when testing them, I didint think they would bend that much.

    It must bend even more when in contact with the shuttle?!


    Nice Pic.

    for the racket to bend so much it wouldnt be able to stand by itself in the first place let alone smash a shuttle.. therefore i deduce that the 1st photo was edited.

    I dont think so, if the photo was taken at just the right time, then the racket could bend that much

    That's me alright, with my favourite Ti-SP SA.

    I don't swing like a pro, but I do have an unorthodox overhead with the arm bent when the racket head is swung the fastest.

    The photo was not edited. My friend took it on a Canon 10D doing 3 frames per second. A whole bunch of us saw this same photo (the first) right after it was taken.

    that racket shaft bending is well within the norm of shaft flexing.

    how fast are your swing, 364km/hr like the ad on AT series :D
    hey btw, looks like your right arm is sooo much bigger than your left in the 1st pic, do you exercise your right arm alot (one hand push ups??) :p
