Hi guys, I am currently playing with the following - Babolat B-Ti. Although in general a good all-rounder, I feel that as I develop I would like to invest in a more specific racquet to meet my needs, as follows: slice and drop/cross court shots Net play defensive backhanders and when needed power smash Hope this makes sense, it does in my head. I just feel that with my current racquet just doesn't have it, and certainly doesn't deliver on the smash. I would like to spend around £100 GBP, would also like to stay with Babolat but would consider Yonex. i would appreciate some guidance on this, cheers
the babolat sounds perfect for that, why switch? its seems like the perfect racket to cater to your needs, maybe restring , as the srtings actually affect your slices and other shots more....
Why not stick with the Babolat as your style progresses, then you'll be able to grow in all directions comfortably.
I reccommend the Satelite series by Babolat. Im using the Satelite Star and its one of the fastest racquets ive used. Its a relatively defensive racquet but does lack a little power. Here's my mini review of it: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62501 Alot of the Babolat racquets are under £100, you can find some good priced ones from tennisnuts.com. Hope that helps.
