Hello everybody, myname is ucantseeme and I'm an intermediate. Mostly I play Doubles, but sometimes I got the possibilty to play Singles which I prefer. I play most clears, dropshots, not so much smash. In doubles I play most of the time at the net, because my dude is much powerful. I visit a local store and took a look at some sellers, money is the problem. So offers and sales are, in my opionion, quite good for europe. My choice of a new racket depends on money and the manufacture. Now I'm playing an even balance very cheap Yonex. It lacks in power, but defence is quite well. My new racket should be a Yonex or a Victor. I have 90 € to spend on a new racket. I can't play these rackets to test which is the best for me and the best for my money. Here my choices: Yonex: AT Tour 80 € AT 300 90€ AT 50 60€ Nanospeed 800 70€ Victor: Strut XT 35 control 60€ Density XT 75 80€ Victor Challenger TI 70 LB 60€ Please help me to find the best offer and racket in your Opinion for my description of playing and should I tend to a flex or stiff shaft? My current racket is midflex.I don't know if a stiffer shaft increase more power? Thank you very much for your help.
Many BCF members would probably agree in that you should stay away from the lower end Yonex rackets and go with other manufacturers such as APACS.
If you are willing to order online you can get yonex cab 20, 21, 35 for 70-80€. That's good value I belive. But it's strictly for eggheads
And I'm pretty sure you could get a Panda Power racket too. Definitely definitely can't go wrong with one of those. It may cost something like 92-93 Euro instead of just 90.
I'm sure too but never buy abroad, because I remit money but never get a racket or get no garantee to get a legit product.
I've ordered from badmintonshoponline.us and it works ok. Deliverytimes are quite long but products are legit. And you DO get your products.
if you do your homework first and use the search function, you will know where to shop. there are lots of info here on BCF
Thanks for your replies. I know where I can get an apacs racket, but it's not an option to order one from a foreign country. The reason is, I think, I got no proper service in case of warranty and pay customs due. Who cares about I guy from a foreign country? My question wasn't where I can buy rackets. I got a selection and make a decision without testing. Thanks a lot for your advices.
I made preselection and change the rackets. Now it's between an Artery Tec 101 Power, an Oliver Energetic K10 and a Yonex Nanospeed 7000 because I saved some more money last month.
hii ..if u can extend ur budget to YY NS7000 they pls look for NS8000,...its a bit more balnced than NS 8000...
