Guys & gals, I must admit I am a novice when it comes to badminton racquets. I have a couple of racquets from Yonex, Apacs & Finnex. But out of curiosity, is there a Malaysian made racquet in the market? If yes, I would appreciate if you could provide me the brand info and where to go to look for it as I am pretty game to get one. Many thanks.
A Malaysian brand may not necessarily have their rackets made in Malaysia, vice & versa, non-Malaysian brands may have their rackets made in Malaysia... Example of Malaysian brands - Proace, Apacs Example of non-Malaysian brands with rackets made in Malaysia - some (not all) models from Domino, Viva, Tactic (in the past).
Now we have Misbun brand...just log in to Nusa Mahsuri website to see this racket. I beleive KX also is a local product...
ur right..kx is a new brand produce by Malaysia company name Kennex if im not mistaken..sumting lik that. there is a shop name Ah Lee in bangsa who is one of the authorize dealer..Apacs is not a malaysia brand but a uk brand if im nt mistaken..it just uses the quality approval from malaysia(superbrand) jus lik Yonex using PBSI and Impact using WBA (World Badminton Association..nt so sure about proace..and another brand from malaysia is Yangyang..
Hey Ants, From what I been reading in the Equipment section, I think you are the go to guy when it comes to racquets as I think you know your stuff. I have posted pics of my racquets in that racquets pic thread. I play some badminton every now and then. The last time was in early August. I dont get to play much mainly due to interest and my ankle. But since reading a of stuff and info in the Equipment section, you can say I am keen to find a racquet that can hit out powerful smashes. I play mainly doubles. I think I am an attacking player as I love smashing. I would rate my skills as ok la. So, dude ... my 1st priority is to get a Malaysian made racquet that is the hardest hitting. Any suggestion?
Thank you for your kind compliment Pemuda. I'm still learning the ropes Well frankly speaking.. i hardly have time to see or even touch any Malaysian Brand rackets. So i can't really give you any suggestion. Even if i can, i would only can suggest those that i've tried and use. But then it may not be fair for other brands that may be better than those that i've tried. Maybe you can ask the locals around your area or probably those in Klang Valley in regards to Malaysian brand rackets. Im talking about Malaysian brand. But not necessary that equipment have to be made in Malaysia.
In that case, bro, in your opinion, whats the hardest hitting monster out there? * and by the way, my reply in that Malaysia Boleh thread is not whacking you. I meant in general. If I sound aggressive, I am sorry. I will tone down.
No worries bro. The ever Controversial Pemuda.. I like it that way. Make life more fun. Really im serious. It is a compliment. Make me think also before i respond.. if not my brain will get rusty.
..i know their shuttles were sold in M'sia.. I've tried a couple of the newest YangYang rackets here, in the states. Both are very light but somewhat head-heavy. One of which is exactly identical to the Yonex AT900T. Not sure if they're made in M'sia or not. ..doubles players usually prefer something that's light/quick for maneuverability. There are many rackets that can aid in generating powerful smashes. But, as you mentioned before, it's the player not the racket that generates the powerful smashes. You can try our BC member's (DinkAlot) own brand of racket, Panda Power rackets (check out the thread; even has a dealer in PJ). http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69342&page=33 Also, what's your budget range?..
