    HL Ben Lee 8800?

    Should I get a HL Ben Lee 8800? I have about 100$ to spend on a racket. I been using a crappy racket for long time now. My smashes are Super. MY clear could use some work, same with my drops. Would the HL Ben Lee 8800 be a good choice for me?

    what kind of player are you? Offensive or defensive?

    The first racket i got was the 8800. I really like it, i use it for doubles. Its very light and its on the head light side i think. Compared to any other rackets that i've tried, the 8800 has the best control. Maybe because i've gotten used to it, but when serving i can get it into any corner i want. If you want bigger smashes, you might want to consider a racket that is more head heavy.

    its very powerful, and it has great control. its weight is pretty good for all around play. I find it even balance. Its a good racket at a great price.

    Should i get the Dragon(HL ben lee 8800) or the Yonex nanospeed 800?
    I have good smash, an okay drop and clear. I am a attacking player.
    I like to smash when i get a chance to. Which racket is better for me?

    I'm not sure what's HL Ben Lee 8800, but NS800 is a stiff racquet and it's meant for beginner-intermediate players. However, depends on your muscle development structure, Nanospeed series can perform differently from person to person. If you like to throw your arm a lot when you smash, Nanospeed may not be the racquet for you.

    Was a big fan of yonex once.but it seems like their quality has dropped alot.that's why i've switched to other brand.so is yonex your only option?if not why dont you consider RSL?its alot cheaper but to me the quality is better thou compared to yonex.since you're attacking player there's bunch of good selections for you to choose.RSL really produce some high quality rackets.or you can visit www.rsl-1928.com.or better yet,visit the BC forum under rsl series rackets.u may find your answer there.but the decision is all up to you.peace bro
