    Hi people,

    I'm an intermediate level player (both single/double) who simply loves drop shots. Drops form the major part of my game actually.

    My smashing skills aren't that great and I would like to improve on that as well and be a bit more offensive.

    Thing is, I find all the specs quite confusing when choosing a new racket. So far I've used an Isometric 23 and a Carbonex 8 SP and want to build on that and upgrade to something that will give me more smashing power BUT still provide good control.

    I'm no longer using the Iso and the C8SP was recently damaged.

    Tight enough budget; I'd probably be able to go up to £50-ish. I was advised to get a Nano 500, but I don't really have a clue as to comparable rackets.

    So please help :rolleyes: Also if you could tell me where I can buy the racket from. I'm from the UK.

    Cheers

    From what I've read, lower end Yonex rackets are not that great. I would actually recommend getting the Apacs lethal 70 or tandrum200. :)

    i can also recommend apacs rackets. certain some good rackets in the apacs range within ur price limit.

    lethal 70 or tntrum mayb closer to the 70-80 pound mark tho, especially in the uk.

    see,
