Hello People I need to know what all the technobabble means Can anyone help me? What is Nano Pulse Technology? What is Nanotechnology? What is Anti-Torsion technology? And if anyone knows any other technologies with explainations that would be great.
Can you give us the brand which those terms were used? Our force is not as strong as yours Master Yoda...
Many of the technology claims are only scientific theories. Yeah, in an ideal situation, they might help your performance by certain and certain. However, it's still down to the player's own ability to max. the potential. Sometimes, certain playing environment also have effect. Therefore, demo the rackets, and pick the one fit for your own need.
What is Nano Pulse Technology? = i dunno about this... but RSL has Diamond Pulse Technology which is these little ridges on the inside portion of the frame. it is suppose to increase sweet spot and hold tension better. What is Nanotechnology? = nanotech... err.. a lot of rackets has it nowadays. it claims to create a strong bonds at nanoscale to create an overall stronger racket without extra added material making the racket light as well. What is Anti-Torsion technology? = anti-twist. think itz that t-joint stuff that holds the frame.
Do a search for nano carbon or fullerene or something similar here, you can find the chemistry and the advantage of using this material in racket making. Anyways, manufacturers always use this kind of technological terms just to enhance their product image and show you how much R&D they are putting in. Besides from the racket design, materials used are not usually controlled by the manufacturers but the chemical/fibre suppliers. What they usually do in the factory is just to blend/autoclave/heat/press/mold (whatever you want to call it) the carbon/titanium/fullerene/boron/carbonfibre into the racket shape. Most of these so-called new technologies have been used in other areas such as aviation/car racing/space tech for a while before they reach the civilian use. Badminton racket technology is usually in the lower tier of a company's R&D, even for Yonex. Shaft and material techs come from golf clubs design. The stringing patter and holes design from tennis etc etc. This is due to the fact that badminton is a relatively smaller market than golf and tennis. I think some of the anti-torsion tech came from fishing rods as well.
Anti-Torsion Construction™ is Carlton's newest technology. Convex carbon ridges positioned either side of the T-join increases racket strength in the throat area. This decreases torsional movement on impact with the shuttle and therefore offers both unmatchable control for accuracy of shot, as well as increased power. ATC™ technology is featured on Carlton's top 4 premium frames. from http://sports-essentials.myshopify.com/products/carlton-airblade-tour
