Hi All, Presently I am using Yonex Carbonex 8 (very old model) and it is a bit heavy for me because my arm gets tired, now i am planning to buy something light weight should be good for smash shots and powerful return shots, can you please recommend me a good one. I am in Singapore so please suggest me a good shop to buy the racquet. Thanks 1. How often do you play, how serious are you? Once in a week (now a days) 2. What style of player are you? (Aggressive smasher, net player ...) Aggressive smasher and some time net shots etc. 3. Do you care much about durability or is it all about performance? Both 4. How much money do you want to spend? I can spend S$100 - 200. Thanks
I ve got just the racket to fit your requirements. =) Check out Sintec model Nano series. Its 86g, which is considerably light compared to the rest of yonex series. Also less than 100. Check out my thread http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57519
Thanks for your reply, your racket is in pink color which does'nt suit me its more like a girly racket, sorry and thanks
Thanks for the reply, your recommended rackets are S$200+ which are not in my budget, can you recommend any cheap around S$100 ?
Haha.. No problem.. Anyway, Pink is just one of the colors avaliable for that model. Comes with white, black and green too. =) Am using it myself and i find it considerably light and is rather flexible. Good for ladies player
You can try a MP racket instead. MP66 is a good choice if you can find it. Just a quick question why don't you consider buying from online websites?
Thanks for your reply, actually I am using a heavy racket at the moment and i am having a tournament on Saturday so that's why i am planning to buy some cheap light weight racket for that tournament, buying online will take some time to get the racket via shipping etc, i live in Singapore so there are so many good shops to buy.
Here is a online shops selling if you want the MP66. http://www.badmintonshoponline.us/unlimitshop/product_info.php?cPath=1_8&products_id=39
Karakal has the lightest rackets made...super strong frame and all play well.... New model called Tattoo is the Ultimate racket for me...great defense and great smash too....net and control are also excellent....I have never used a better racket at any price....If you want to see it check out www.giadinhsports.com english section...they are based in Vietnam...YangYang Nano Lite 7 is also super lite and great defense...only about 40 usd and plays super for doubles...I think the Tattoo is about 100 usd and the 70gram M-tec 70 is about 80 usd from the distributor Gia Dinh Sports...I have a used MP 66 that I would sell you cheap as I dont use it now that I have the Karakal and YangYang...My MP 66 ranks behind both of them...but if you want a Yonex then this is the one to get...
SOTX have the lightest racket in the world... LG-200 is just 76g.... but it is good for defensive and double... if you need the one good for smash...then TI-11+ will be your good choice... Length:675mm Blance point:287-294mm weight:85+/- 2g string tension≤30lbs shaft stiffness: 8.5-9.0
