I'm now in the US, and diffcult to buy a Kason racquet. Yonex is too expensive... So, I am going to buy a Wilson nCode N6 for $80. It is a 4U racquet, and I like a light racquet. I'm a defensive player with quick moving and reaction. Will anyone have some comments on this racquet? Does it worth the money? Besides, which string and pounds is suitable for this racquet? Is the default string (Wilson Hammertec ET-70) ok? Thanks a lot!
i haven't tried the wilson n6 yet, but i tried a different wilson 4u racquet, and although it was light, it lacked ALOT of power, just beware.
you mean a lot of power? i cannot imagine how it feels. seems i should have a try before purchasing, right? i do not often smash, but will do some when necessary.
I own the wilson n6 and am selling/trading it(see the buy and sell forum). It's a excellent defense racket, very fast and powerful when I clear and defense smashs. But it's a light racket and I think I strung it to tight (22 lb.). It's not a good single smash racket for me. I think is totally worth it and it feel like the Yonex MP88. I would suggest you keep the default string (low tension) and try it first, then you can adjust from there.
In case that you are still interested in Kason, here're some choices within your budget: http://www.e-badmintonusa.com/RacketsKason.html
thanks for your comment. from your description, i think it might suit be because i do not often smash Yonex MP88 is more expensive than Wilson N6, right?
thanks! the price in this website is much more expensive than the price in china. maybe i will find someone to bring a Kason TSF-98 from china. but i cannot have it until two month later...
Whether the racket is worth the money or whether the string/tension fit for ur need is very much personal preference issue. If you can demo the racket before purchase, that will be a big help. For US$80, I think you have quite a range of rackets to select from, most fall into reputable non-yonex brands, such as Kason, Wilson, Yangyang, SOTX, Winex, etc.
Well, it's imported from China, so, the price will go higher due to the lack of demand, additional tax, shipping, etc. If you are sure TSF98 is the one u will go for, then, just borrow/rent one for the 2 months, as the short waiting period worth some $$$.
i dont know if you have fleet racquets in your place. in case you can try them they fall about you range of $80.00. fleet racquets are made in Taiwan. light racquets have no power. its only good for defence and net play.
