switching to oval from isometric head shape

    I am curious if anybody knows why this happened to me. I have been a long user of the Isometric head shape and one day I decide to bring my Carlton Airblade 350 to the club. Numerous times, when I went to do an overhead smash, I completely missed it. Just as simple as that, I just missed the bird. Does anyone know why that happened to me? Does it have anything to do with switching between head shapes? Again, it happened numerous times.

    Yup, I tend to agree with yogi.
    I believe that it has more to do with getting used to the swing speed of the racket than its head shape.

    Well I have the same problem when in switch racquets regardless of the head shape. But after abut a game or two it sort of comes back. But I still feel better with my #1 racquet.

    Well Josh, I thought you quite recently took up badminton? Couldn't that have something to do with it?

    ;)

    Seriously though, as others have already suggested it probably has to do with switching between racquets with different weight or balance characteristics.
