Heres a question for everyone would u say that anytype of wilson is a good type of racket for badminton, im thinking about getting a new one and i wasnt to sure
I'd say it depends on you personally... for me I love wilson badminton rackets, I've used a Hyper Carbon 5.0 for a while and it was just great, i love the flex and weighting and the feel of hyper carbon! My next racket is going to be an n4 maybe n2 so yes I'd say wilson are good if you like them! It's a totally personal thing but I've never been a yonex man
Two problems I spotted for recent Wilson models: 1. Frame durability, epsecially the lower end (high #s) V series. 2. The n-Code series tend to snaps strings easily, due to larger gap for top cross (same issue as Yonex AT800).
i have an N7. strung BG66 on it at 21lbs, string snapped in less than 3 months. btw, how often does BG66 at 21lbs snap ?
I heard the latest Ncode models have improved on the frame durability. I notice also wilson Ncodes have thicker shafts compared to others. But it looks good though.
Wilson N-code rackets' durability is actually well above average, much better than that of the Yonex models'. I think buying an ncode racket is a good choice, they're cheaper than Yonex rackets and kinda good anyway. I have the N1 model and I've got to say it's really stiff and kinda head heavy too, plus very durable. I can smash really hard with it but the control is just normal. It'd be better to try them out though before buying.
I have recently bought a Wilson nCode n2 and have Ashaway Micro Ledgend strings on it auto strung to 22lbs.... look out for a review/report on it this weekend when I play on friday night!
All I know is that Wilson has released a new models after the N1-8 recently and they have gotten rid of the Turbo Zone on the frame which everyone says is the culprit for its durability issue. Anyway, this is what i heard from someone who sells wilson. To me, Yonex rackets has its own durability issues as well. so whatever rackets you buy, as long as it serves your needs, and you're comfortable paying that price for it, then its your right choice. Lets wait for docaroo to give his opinion/review/report after his game with his N2.
i use a wilson titanium comp its not really about what racket u buy but really how u play. u could have the best racket in the world and still suck or a decent one and be really good actually. xD
When i metioned string snap easily, is a relative term. Due to the larger gap on the top cross, a powerful mishit can just snap any string. It's a matter of chances. BG66 21lb for 3 months consider lasts very long already.
