Hi Guys, Another boring question on racket...but I do need some advice. So, i've an intermediate level and used to play with a Forza Asia 40000 BG66 22lbs. Though Forza rates this racket as medium flex I find it quite flexible and is head light. I'm more like a control and fast player than a smash / powerful player. I was looking for a new racket that would generate a more power without being too stiff. I have tested a few Yonex but I'm not satisfied yet. My views on the tested racket : AT500 : I had some PAin in my elbow and I can't defend properly, it seems to stiff Nano6000 : definitely too flexible and do not have a good feel MP66 : Too flexible and I lose some of my control play MP88 : Seems OK but I can't generate much power feels pretty much as my Forza Do you have any suggestion of that ultimate racket I looking for ? Many many thx
try a racquet that's just stiff then, and not extra stiff. say the at800 defensive or the ns9000 type s.
I guess that is assuming it can still be obtained as difficulty gets harder since it is discontined. Probably better to recommend the AT900T instead.
I believe AT800 OF or DE are still fairly easily to be obtained from Asia, if you don't really care about the warranty issue and suppose duty tax won't be a major factor. I believe "tum98" (1 of the few trust worthy ebayers) opened an ebay store, which still have AT800 listed.
If the intent to obtain a 4U of the AT800 then Tum98 is ok, otherwise one will have to look else where for the 3U.
Is there a duty tax for importing things into the US? As in, if you ordered a racket from badmintonshoponline.
