About construction technique, here is my two cents: (1) I still prefer the braided construction technique. All braided frame and shafts result in a much stronger badminton racquet but at the cost of heavier weight. Case in point, I have a very old Carbonex 10. the frame, from what I can observe, is braided aluminum and graphite. The racquet is very heavy (at least 95 grams unstrung) and has an awkward (un-natural) balance. The good old Carbonex 10 survived numerous clashes all these years (14 years?). Trust me, it is still intact and playable. Unfortunately, the same can not be said of the other racquets that clashed with mine: the Carbonex 10 is like a hot knife cutting through butter. (2) On Proace's website, it talked about strafil prepeg graphite and D.M.S. moulding methods. I have no idea how this method will result in stronger racquets. Does anyone know more about this technique and material?
