    As the title states, I'm asking for recommendations on intermediate rackets that are between great and good. I am currently using a wilson n90 (*i don't like) and ti-6 (*suits me well)

    thanks ^_^

    Giving us a bit on your playing style will allow us to select you a racket easier

    lol that was quick. Anyways what is so great about a ti-10?
    Umm my style is more of an attack style, but I notice that the ti-6 is more of a def. racket. I like the use of the ti-6 so i'm kind of confused. @_@

    i am just an average player.
    know all the basic strokes or shots.
    most of the time, cant hit the shuttle over the net......:(
    my smash only able to clock around 143km/h
    my dropshot, mostly like inviting death
    clear, what is clear? is half court consider a good clear?
    backhand, can i use double backhand? i am sure with double backhand, i will better to half court than inviting death.
    phandrew, any good recommendations?
    :D:D:D

    well i'm i guess i'm an intermediate player that has played for a good couple years.
    lol ummm i play with more of an attack approach, but at the same time i like to drop alot.
    most of my drops don't make it over the net -.-
    i want a racket that doesn't need too much power to hit full court or cross court shots
    overall i want a control over power? lol iono
    i usually play with a ti-6, *from the racket types it is said to be more of a def. racket*
    the ti-6 is strung with yonex bg 65 21-22lbs * not sure if that helps

    The drop shot is most likely a technique issue. You might need to add a bit more push, angle the racket a bit higher or your hitting the shuttlecock too late.

    Based on your info try to test these rackets first and see which one you like.

    SOTX W2, W7, W8, W9
    Yonex Ti-10, MP99/MP100, NS9000S

    I would choose the SOTX rackets because they perform just as the same as yonex but are much cheaper.

    For you Drifit you need the Yonex Armortec 1000DEATH:p:p:p
    With a swing of the racket your opponents drop dead.:D:D:D
