    Where is the sweetspot for Yonex racquet esp the new Armotec 900. ? Do they try to enlarge the sweetspot with the new racquets?

    Really, I didn't know that, I thought you had to draw the bulleye somewhere on the frame of the racket the racket and call it a sweep spot :p

    Sorry - but if i am not mistaken - tennis racquet makers advertise by saying they make the sweetspot bigger by x%. From my guesstimate - the sweetspot for badminton racquet is not in the middle of the frame but nearer to the top of the frame

    Generally, the mid point of the sweet spot is about 2 inches above the racquet head mid point. It varies slightly according to models.

    Isometric shape racquet head is suppose to have a larger sweet spot than oval shape racquet head.

    sweet spot? put some sugar on it and it'll be sweet all over! (ps read the reviews on any racket by using the oh so convient search function)
