I am planning to buy 2 new rackets 1. Yonex '07 Carbonex 8600 ti ( $43 ) 2. Yonex '07 MP 21 ( $60 ) Are these good? Has anyone experienced any problems? Please post. Thanks!
mp21 has a larger sweetspot. if you cannot hit the shuttle consistently, then a larger sweetspot and hitting area will help. If you want to train yourself to hit better, then go for the Oval Carbonex frame because the smaller hitting area and smaller sweet spot will help you focus on hitting the shuttle right. It may be discouraging in the beginning with an oval frame, but the rewards as you grow as a player will far outweigh the initial uphill learning curve. After you master hitting the shuttle correctly and consistently on an oval frame, the Isometric frames are a piece of cake. My $0.02
I was wondering where my one cent had gone. Well, it really depends if you'd rather opt for getting one mid-range priced racket or two lower end models, like you seem to want to do. I personally would rather grow with one racket than split my efforts with two; at least if you're just beginning.
