It all comes down to playing style and player's preferences for the racket. If it is a racket for you then can we have more info on your playing style?
i saw a very meaningful quote somewhere: "its man who is going to suit the racquet, not the racquet suiting man"
hahahahaha...... it's all because it's his favorit correct me if i'm wrong, it should be 4ug5 if i'm not mistaken
Racket suitable for single & double Hi, I am not knowligible with rackets & hope someone can enlighten me: 1) What to consider choosing racket for single and double playing? 2) Why and the main factors affecting choice, please give example 3) Does physique of the play influent the choice of racket? 4) What would be considered an offensive or a defensive style? 5) Reference to (4), Offensive playing: what to consider when chosing racket & why? 6) Reference to (4), Defensive playing: what to consider when chosing racket & why?
1) Balance & weight of racquet. 2) Playability, Price.. & paint job? 3) Yes it does. 4) Smasher = Offensive, Controller = Defensive. 5) AT700 (singles) is very head heavy, meaning power is easier to generate even. AT900P (doubles) less head heavy, meaning more suitable for doubles, as doubles requires faster play. 6) NS7700, AT900T, Arc7. For the defence, a lighter racquet is recommended, so that blocking & returning is more efficient. If u want both Offense & Defence, then MP99 is a good choice.
Hi, Thanks Heong Could you elaborate a little on (1) & (2) & (3)? I understand that price play a part but technically, what can or should take into account & why? (5) & (6) are realatively staright forward although if you are willing to share your knowledge or experiences, I am more than grateful. Any of the rackets in (6) is suitable for single & doubles? Why is a lighter racket is more efficient? I bought a video camera some years back & thinking that a small is easy, light weight etc but what I found is very shakey and so the quality of picture is lost. Does a racket have Cons too? Could you also share your view why the Mp 99 is good for Defence & Offence playing style? I got myself a Yonex catalogue 08/09 and they have the diagram on page 9 where at 12:00 is Head Heavy, 3:00 is Repulsion, 6:00 is Head Light & 9:00 is Hold. To be honest for a non technical person like me, each heading does not means much and having all teh rackets plotted in each quarter also do not mean much until it can be interpretted. Could you or anyone enlighten those of us who are new to these? Are there any other made/brand that have such a range of rackets with details explain too? Carlton, Kennex etc? Thanks
Hi Skanbuzz, Why are you posting 2 threads of the same title? http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55537
Apology Hi, I was looking for my old thread but can't get to it so I started the latest one with more specific questions. In fact, it took me a number of attempt tp submit for whatever reasons couldn't submit. I apologise for my "lack" in IT skill but trying to pick up as I go along. The problem is that you all IT knowligible, sometimes assume all those out there have the same knowledge as you but for us (or me alone) is trying to understand how, where and why to get progress. These days the clear & consice INSTRUCTIONS seems to have go out of the windows. Just like badminton, the good players do not want to play with the beginner or the less skill so where & how the begineer can progress? Anyway, Apology
