    I've been playing badminton for about 2 years now...this is my second year...
    My first year I used a Carbonex 8200....
    This year I'm using a Armortec 150
    I also have an Isometric 97 VF

    I'm pretty sure that the Armortec 150 is the best...but i dunno
    Could someone give me the lowdown on all these raquets? and what raquet's good for what?

    (Oh btw...i broke my Carbonex 8200)

    Which one has more power? Which one is control?
    Why did the Carbonex break so easily?

    i started playing with the 150 a while back. i have had a few questions myself bout it. but its very head heavy and is pretty powerful if u can wield something that headheavy. not the best at defense but its a good raacket to start playing with at an interediet level.

    ive never played with the AT150 but i have played with the other two

    IMO out of the 3, i think the ISO97 VF is the best...really light, Ti mesh, great control and power racquet i borrowed it off a friend of mine for one game and ive been trying to get myself one ever since ^^ its also made in Japan, unlike the other 2 made in taiwan...so that might count for something

    I have a cab8200 and its a great racquet if you can hit the sweet spot, AT150 never tried but im happy with my AT500 :D

    hehe, oops, you wanted a lowdown srrry...

    Iso: Iso frame, Ti mesh, Head Light balance, slightly stiff *all round*
    Cab8200: oval frame, Head light balance, slightly flexible, short length *control & power if you have the technique*
    AT150: iso frame, head heavy balance, mid flex, long length *power*
