Hi, I am choosing the racket between the two. ProKennex Concave 700 is 100% graphite and Carlton Powerblade TT is Hi Modulus graphite, I think the ProKennex is a bit lighter. I never try on both of them before and dont know how they perform. Hope some of the wise and knowledgeable user can give me some insights. Thanks.
i have a Carlton Powerblade Carbon TT, and here's my review: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40319
See Link for review of the Concave. Hello Shoeshunter, I played with the Concave it is a very nice racquet with a lot of power and very good control. I use BG80 @ 23lbs. The Kelvar and design of the racquet absorbs alot of the vibration from miss hits, but it still allows good feedback for control. Power wise it has a very nice boom on overhead shots and smashing sound is as good as a Yonex Carbonex racquet. Only complaint that I have is over time the shaft becomes more flexible. I had the racquet for over a year now. Started off stiff, now I would rate it as medium stiff. I have not Tried the Carlton Powerblade TT. Pro Kennex also has the Dynamex which is essentially the same racquet as the Concave but with a ISO frame.

Hi, Thanks for the reply from bmc and d-man. I have decided to get the Prokennex concave 700. I call the company and they said the 2007 model comes with extra stiff shaft and a lot better string (Prokennex Micro Flex 66 with 24 lbs). I am excited to try it out.
Enjoy. Extra Stiff, nice maybe I should pick up a 2007 model. Enjoy enjoy the feeling and power of the smash. Cheers, D-Man
Give us a review. Hello Shoeshunter, Post your review on the racquet after you test it. Share your experience with the others on this forum. Cheers, D-Man
I will post my review this weekend and share my experience. Still anxiously waiting for the racket on my doorway.
