I was playing in a gym two days ago, and realized that my racket weighed more on one side than the other. So I looked at it and turns out it was bent. I really have no idea how I managed that. Anyway, I was looking around for a new racket, and have no idea which one to choose! There are way too many rackets to chose from. Any suggestions would be awesome! First of all, I predominantly play singles competitively, so nothing doubles related. I am looking for an evenly balanced racket, a fairly light racket but not excessively light because my swing speed isn't really that fast, I was thinking 4U (so 85 grams-ish), and probably a medium stiffness shaft. I'm not really sure about what string tension I want, but definitely something a higher than average. Just because I get most of my points from tips/drop shots instead of my weak smashes, so control is handy (23-24???). On top of all of that, I'd like a G3 grip size for easier maneuverability. This is a little demanding, but I'd rather buy right. Budget isn't really an issue. Thanks in advance!
How was your old racquet? Is it comfortable? If yes, then get the same one. But of course when people break their racquet, they tend want to buy new one, since you gonna buy NEW racquet anyway. However, if you seriously like have a different racquet then, look for something that SIMILAR like the old one. Since you're already comfortable with that type.
Try one of sir dink's rackets, I'm sure he can find one with the specification that suits your needs...
My racket was about a two years old. But I just bought one from the school. I didn't really care about my racket then, I just wanted to improve my badminton skills. I think it was a Wilson V12? It was okay, but the string tension was VERY low.
personally, if you want to ask what racquet I would recommend, then I would say nanospeed 9900. Although it rated as light head, and yes it is light head. However, that's give you more control especially for drop and tip like you said it. Yet it will take alot of strength from you to play that racquet when you don't have the technique down. However, I assume you're in advance by now so yes I recommend nanospeed 9900. I dislike arcsabre family. I've tried 2 of them 10 and 7, and I think also 8 Not so great for me. I can play with nano and armortec better.
Technically and Scientifically you had written all your necessary preferences on a racket. All you have to do is look to the latest manuals or open the websites of the Badminton Racket Manufacturers. Better stick with the Wilson Brand for sympathy. If you want to explore then there is Yonex, Victor, RSL, and others with a large array of Models that can match your specifications! Good Luck.
sotx 8 or 9 apacs 9600, tantrum 11 trinty t2 some best bang for the buck rackets, lots others t2 would be the best out of the ones mentioned
I've narrowed it down to: - Arcsaber 7 - NS4500 - Apacs Nano Pro 9600 Any help in deciding? Refer to my first post if you need to.
arcsaber 8dx wouldn't be bad either: Level: Advance Type: All Around / Attacking Flex: Stiff Head: Square/Isometric Weight: 85-89gm(3U-) B.Pt: 6 (Even Balance) =============== Head: H.M. Graphite, CS Carbon Nanotube Shaft: H.M. Graphite, Ultra PEF Cover: Yonex Full Cover String: Yonex BG-65 (Custom Strung) / Upgrade Available
Anyone know where I could buy an Apacs Nano Pro 9600? Online would be prefered, and in Canada. Thanks
