Recently my old racket broke and im searching for a new one. I have come to a final 6 rackets in my price range. Can you guys help me review these rackets and help me decide on the best one. I'm gonna get bg80 string and i need help on string tension also. im into power more than control but a balance of each is good also. thanks Wilson XLoop 300 Code: http://www.badmintonalley.com/Wilson_XLoop_300_Badminton_Racket_p/racket-wilson-xloop-300.htm QiangLi V3 Nano Code: http://www.badmintonwarehouse.com/product_p/rqv3.htm Yonex Armortec 150 Code: http://www.badmintonwarehouse.com/product_p/ryat150.htm Genji Nano Power F6 Code: http://ebadminton.stores.yahoo.net/gennanpowtit.html Genji UF-1200 Code: http://ebadminton.stores.yahoo.net/genbadrac40t.html Genji Ti3200Z Code: http://ebadminton.stores.yahoo.net/360degultitr.html Also does anyone know where to get the duo colored karakal pu super grips?
united states southern california um i havent looked at any apacs or sotx i've searched through most major US badminton suppliers and i never seen any so i dont know about those
sorry to double post but i couldnt edit for some reason so imma update with my final choices for the racket Apac NP-808 Code: http://www.bbeshop.com/apacs/apacs2006/racket_np808_bbe.jpg QiangLi V3 Nano Code: http://www.badmintonwarehouse.com/product_p/rqv3.htm for information about me. i really like to smash and drop i like stiff and light rackets i have badminton camp over the summer coming up so ill be playing like 4 hours a day on weekdays and basically i wanna know which one would be best suited for me. as for the grip i already found a palce to get them
I've tried my beginner friend's At-150. This thing is really head heavy. Probably more so than the At-700. When they say At-700 is the most head-heaviest racket in Yonex line, I don't think they factored in the low end ones. The handle feels extremely hollow. So I think Yonex tried to make a head heavy racket, but light overall. It can be a decent racket if you know how to use it.
oh thanks for your opinion but i've already decided against it since it didnt have the look i wanted such as in the qiang racket lol
Hollow? Yes, you are absolutely right. I pulled out the ballast out of my at700, mp40, ns7700 and ns9k. The more head-heavy the racquet is, the hollower the handle was....... http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=882171&postcount=62
I guess your pocket is around 100 bucks. Apacs are around 80 bucks but then you have to pay shipping from Canada so it would be around 100 bucks. AMP series is what you want http://www.apacscanada.com or the SOTX at http://www.ibuysports.com/ or better yet search the forum for Sir Dinkalot or Coach Don they are in Orange County area they might have some thing for you at a good price.
I dont think that the at-150 is more "head heavy" than the at-700, I think the whole thing is just REALLY heavy. It does NOT feel like a 3U.
