    Hi guys. I currently use a 4U voltric 80 etune with bottom red parts. After around 4 hours(i usually play for an entire day - 10 am to 4 pm) , my arm gets a bit tired. Im thinking of buying a lighter racquet to when that occurs. ~100 CAD?

    Voltric 7 seems to fit the bill. it has a head heavy balance with a medium shaft

    Anything would do including a ping pong paddle, the quality will not be there after 4 hours of playing anyway.

    I play my best when im a bit tired. I can still play after 4 hours easily, just i find it harder to do "fast shots" like defending or smashes well.

    Wow...you must be a elite athlete, 10 - 4pm with 4 hrs playing time is akin to running a marathon in Badminton terms, if you say you play better tired, how about treating yourself to a 10k run before you go to your Badminton Club at a later time, then spend a couple of hours playing quality Badminton with practice in between,if you are asking about a lightweight racket when you are basically sh@gged out near the end,there can't be any quality Badminton being played, quality over quantity i'd say.

    Sorry i have not had time in the past few days. I am of a high level in my age group, but of a intermediate level in the general scheme of things. I won some sort of Apacs contest on Facebook recently, and I think I have my backup racquet now. I believe its the Ziggler LHI, and a bag. I may review it as i saw a thread on the racquet a while back.
