Hey guys, i'm buying a new racquet, a victor for sure, but i dont know what model to get. Here are the ones i'm thinking of: Power Waves 12: Flex: Medium +Symmetry Ti+ Frame: Ultra high modulus graphite + Symmetry Ti + Nano Shaft: High Modulus graphite + Nano Weight: 2U 3U 2U (H) 29 - 32 lbs (V) 27 - 30 lbs Stringing lbs: 3U (h) 27 - 30 lbs (V) 25 - 28 lbs Length: 675 mm http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/972/powerwaves12jp8.jpg Super Nano 3: Flex: Medium Stiff +E.Titanium+ Frame: Ultra high modulus graphite + E.Titanium + Nano Shaft: +Slim shaft+ Weight: 2U 3U 2U (H) 29 - 32 lbs (V) 27 - 30 lbs Stringing lbs: 3U (h) 27 - 30 lbs (V) 25 - 28 lbs Length: 675 mm http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/4043/supernano3qg1.jpg Super Nano Pro 7: Flex: Medium Frame: Ultra high modulus graphite + Nano Shaft: High modulus graphite +Slim Shaft + Nano Weight: 3U 4U 3U (H) 25 - 28 lbs (V) 23 - 26 lbs Stringing lbs: 4U (h) 23 - 26 lbs (V) 21 - 24 lbs Length: 675 mm http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/1161/supernanopro7ve1.jpg Those racquets on top i didnt get the price range yet. VICTOR MAGAN 4000 Victor Magan 4000 Badminton Racket. The use of Kevlar (used to manufacture bullet proof vests) in its construction makes this one of the most durable badminton rackets. Features Weight: 89 gms. String Tension: upto 28 lbs String: Ashaway Rally 21 Construction: Material 40t-Graphite Ti-Hi-Fibre Magan® with V-Kevlar enforcement. Head Shape: Isometric Shaft: Flex Grip Size: G3 http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/643/rv40002xn3.jpg This racquet would cost me about 125$ CAD. Overall, i like a medium-stiff racquet. I love smashing, but i also like to play to the net. I like making very precise shots. I'm leaning more on the Magan 4000 or the Victor Supernano Pro 7 O.O Please help me! Best regards, Kevin
I recently purchased a super nano 3 and i can tell you it is not a smashing racquet because its too light but you can feel its stiffness. It also feels like a head light racquet but im keeping it so that girls i know can use it. btw i pretty much play the same style as you Smashes/Clears/Touch shows over the net but I use an AT-700 but be sure to demo the racquets because I bought my super nano 3 and at-700 without demoing them and the AT700 felt very heavy to play with but when i brought it on the court I found out it was the perfect racquet for me.
why so single-brand minded? plus: all the racket stats are missing the post important thing: balance. are they headlight of headheavy? from the stats the nano pre 7 and the power waves 12 are almost the same... Victor really jumped onto the nano-stuff bandwagon...why do you like them so much? and why think so little of other brands?
Ive always played best with victor, never could go with yonex or even other brands, closest to victor i would go for, is Black Knight.
BK proton seem to be very popular since its release. national mike beres and wil milroy use them (from US open photos) I also seen quite a few competing juniors use proton too. It's light and stiff, a very strong racket. (not all stiff rackets are strong rackets). Prolly strongest 4U/5U i have seen so far.
I Agree cooler, but when i saw the price...230$ CAD if im not mistaking...doesnt include shipping + taxes =O
lol, yah, on the high side but i have seen higher prices before A fren bot one for his daughter for 275 w/o string. I would take that over similarly priced ns7000 tho
yikes, thats crazy! I remember paying 230 for my old victor.... hmmm il see if i can get it at a better price...its too bad ebay doesnt have those.
how about, someone send me a brand new BK Proton for my birthday :O its true...my bd is august 28th, gonna be 21 w00t...

i have got another question, from the racquets there, Should i take the super nano 3? or the power waves 12? i def like smashing. But i dont know if they are head heavy.
if you are a smasher get stiff racket, power waves 11 if your technique is a mix of drops and smashes use power waves 12
Thank you ling, Power Waves 12 will suit me very well. Your help is very appreciated. Best regards, Blade
well i recently got a super nano pro 7 and it's working out pretty well for me. I don't relaly know about the other raquets but i'd recommend super nano pro 7
