Check out the new racket I just got. Tactic Titanium Nano Power Xross Striker. Many models, I got XS-80i and MT3 Mirage Titanium 9i. My first racket review. First racket of it's kind, no one has it. The new racket has grommets that alternate towards the edges of the racket. The outer string tension is tight and the sweet spot in the center is larger. Just went to the gym and tested it and it was awsome. Smash was unstoppable, every shot felt solid and balance is just perfect. The color on the racket is very nice and attractive. Must see pictures to appreciate. First time a racket that Yonex didn't make yet. Oh, also Innovated in Denmark. Trying to upload the pictures, but having a hard time. Keep getting error message "The page cannot be displayed".
Kwun, can't attach pictures. Help! Kwun, why can't I attach the pictures of the new racket? Keep giving me error message. The images are in JPEG format. Is there something I need to do to attach images? Thanks.
not true. first one i saw was on a black knight racket, many(8??) years ago. string eater. U'll be sorry sorry for popping your party balloon
Black Knight really made one many years ago? Back then only aluminum and graphite rackets existed....hahaha. Maybe with todays Nano-Titanium technology, the racket has improved alot since then. I'll definitely update you when the string breaks. This racket really hits the shuttle with a pow and has great feel to it at the net drops. I may let my friend borrow it at the OCBC International this weekend. See if the string can last couple of professional games. BTW, I have it strung at 22-24 with BG-65Ti. It was a challenge to string it at first, cuz the last string have to be tensioned correctly.
i'm surprised u think that. the first jointless all graphite racket (cab20) came out by yonex in ~1986, 19 years ago
old threads are gold mines http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18617&highlight=knight btw, that bk racket owner still hasn't pick up the racket yet
You all sure know your history of rackets. Do you still have the racket? Did you give it a swing and see if it hits better than the traditional rackets? What material is it made of? The Tactic catalog also has a Woven Nano-Power Titanium Xross Type racket. It's so high tech. I might get one to try it out. Just need the Muscle Power....
I don't know if it is on sale anywhere. You can search googles. Like I said in the first post, first time I've seen these rackets in USA. I think cooler said BK makes it, and also Taiwan make it in the past. Probably discontinued by now. I got mine from a friend. Rackets were shipped to me as samples to test. If there is a market for them in the USA, I might start selling them. Any orders?
Wow, what a nice friend. I noticed that you had two different rackets in the pictures... I'm looking forward to hearing more long term reviews. (even if they aren't red )
Wow, that is a cool design! It makes me wanna buy one, but where when Google can't even get me a result. Maybe I should go to Denmark. LOL well if anyone finds it online, I am very interested. Very.
you so gullible... just because it says it has this and that doesnt actually mean it actually has it or it works better. i can sell you a really crappy racquet that looks nice and say it has all this technology on it. sometimes it works cause you think it does but you actually doing all the work.. the placebo effect i think? i just think its a gimmik to get people to buy its stuff. but i do like the design, very nice, especially how it says inovated in denmark.
If I get more samples to test, maybe I can send you one as a demo. No need to go to Denmark . You can show it to all your friends. You'll be the center of attention at your gym. My friend just use the racket to win her quarter final match at the OCBC/Yonex International in Anaheim. Tough match. I hope the racket will help her in the semi-final. Oh, she was using the XS-80i, string didn't break yet.
i think the black knight version in my pic was a copy of the original idea. To avoid patent conflict i think BK alter the design a bit and end up not as good as the one u have shown. That's why the bk one break strings more often. It is related to how the holes are drilled. However, my opinion stay.
