    WTF, I will suggest Yonex NS6000 if money is not too big of issue. Sorry, I just have to smile at your user id.

    In your mind
    Yep, and the Nano Speed 7700 also fits, just pricier, but with better technology. I would also say it wins in the looks category as well.

    Thanks Guys, for the recommendations.

    Sadly I can't afford any of the NS series, due to the MP100 tragedy :crying: - http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42034

    I'm currently looking at the following models which I can afford:

    Iso Ti SA

    MP66

    MP28

    Just wondering whether these 3 models are like in terms of durability and defence.

    I'm a fairly weak player with weak wrist and arm, hope a flexible racket can help me out :p

    Thanks and Best Regards, Frog

    use a low end MP will do.. as you improve, you can get a stiffer racket.

    mp66 is way too flexy, it feels more flexible than my mp22, but it really is headlight

    Why not try a Victor Racquet?

    I was pretty much in the same boat as you at the start of the year. I took a long layoff from Badminton (7+ years) after playing at a pretty high level of competence. Getting back into the sport has been tough, but well worth it.

    I have two vastly different racquets: A SOTX Woven-11 (Very-Stiff & head heavy) and a Victor Super Nano 5 (Mid-stiff, balanced).

    I whole-heartedly endorse the Super Nano 5. It's probably one of the easiest, most forgiving racquets I have ever had the opportunity to use. Clears and smashes well, although your mileage will vary.

    If you want to smash, and I mean SMASH hard, the Woven-11 is awesome. However, it is very demanding.

    Best of luck.

    Hi there,


    What's this manufacturing defect you mentioned? I recently bought a Muscle Power 66 which seems to have some sort of paint job defect around the frame head. Didn't notice it until I took it home and played with it once, and the store I got it from wouldn't refund it because it's a small shop with no-return policy. So much for consumer protection! I should have known better than to buy from a small, dodgy shop.

    If you just got back into badminton I would recommend the Carlton Airblade Superlite, it should really suit you! :D
