Hi all, its time again for me to consult the pros of BC. im wondering if there is a racket any of you guys know about that might be suitable to my playing style Beginner - Novice - Intermediate - Advance I would probably be around novice. I like playing deceptive net shots. i place my shuttles. i interchange between baseline lobs, drops and smashes. i can see empty spots on court during games and would play shots there. i would like to pack more punch into my smashes. i open up killing opportunities by out manouvering my opponent. i kill when there is an opportunity (opponent plays a bad shot) either by smashing (or dropping). what would be useful? a head light racket? or should i get a head heavy one? i am not that powerful but i can make up by placing my smashes. thanks everyone.
Hmm i suppose it depends on you..For me i can smash and control better will a head light racket compared to a head heavy racket. The weight of the racket place an important role but it does not necessary mean that a specific weight will give you the upper hand.Thus, a head heavy racket give you more power to your smashes but it does not mean that a light head racket cant. Note that a weight of a racket are the same eg 3UG4 it is just how the weight is distributed. The Yonex Muscle Power are a range of racket where it is even balance.Still if you are able to harness the full ability of the racket it will do you wonders. I suggest that you try out all of the rackets and see what you are most comfortable with. A Yonex NS 9000 X is not the ultimate racket. I once beat someone by just using a clones version of it. Have fun trying new things out you will be surprised what you will be able to discover.
What is the most common racket you use? we don't get many badminton stores here in perth i think. i suppose you have badminton stores in melbourne?
forgot to mention, i dont have the budget yet for yonex rackets : thanks for the suggestion anyway. btw, how does yonex compare to other brands? does it have a main rival ?
I am looking to get a new racket if i have the budget, well i have to know the price before i can save! anyway, when i play with my Yang Yang Salute 6, i sometimes feel uncomfotable shocks, dont know how you call them. you get what i mean?
The good headlight rackets that you might want to take a look: Yonex NS7000, NS8000 BlackKnight Superlite Feather Winex Mighty Muscle 90
Yes i do have a some pro shop around in Melbourne, however i get most of my equipment from Malaysia and Singapore. I am actually a Malaysian. What racket are you look for? I have a racket for sale Apacs Armorpower 800 a clone of Yonex Amourtech 800 , it is head heavy racket. Sir Dink, Sorry about the confusion i actually meant that a technique can at times win over the rackets to some extend..
miss hits? not exactly i think. its like a vibration, shakes the whole racket. its quite uncomfotable. is this due to the racket?
no thanks, im not exactly a fan of apacs rackets. im a malaysian as well. in fact, im in malaysia right now. im looking for SOTX, seems a pretty reliable brand. do you know where i can get SOTX in malaysia/singapore?
