Hello, I'd like to buy a new racquet that fits my requirements, but I don't really know which one should I get... I mainly play doubles, I'm not really into singles... I'd like a racquet with aero shape, long shaft (important because I grip my racquet high on the handle), that is not too much stiff, even balanced but with good punch Any brand would do the trick as long as it's not too exotic Thanks in advance
arc z, fits ur requirement even though it isnt exactly a doubles racket to begin with, maybe consider nanospeed 9900 and bravesword 10/11
i'm not sure about doubles for singles the arcsaber z-slash is the best but if you buy the arcsaber zs and you and your doubles partner aren't communicating well you might break the racket easily Arcsaber:8dx or 7 Nanospeed:7000 or 6000(there will be a 6600 coming out soon) Armotec:700 or 600
Carlton vapor trail tour is interesting indeed... does it has a long shaft ? I own AT 700 and 900P and I'm not really into head heavy racquets, feel quite cumbersome, I mainly rely on swing speed and wrist power to get power out of my racquets, so Id' better buy an even balance or head light racquet
if you want a light head and even balanced racket you should get the nanospeed 9900 (i not own one) but i have an arcsaber z-slash and you will certainly get alot of power out of it but it is slightly head heavy
For the Carlton Vapour Trail Tour : From bottom of head frame to the bottom of the handle : 42.7 cm handle is roughly 17 cm long and the little cone above is roughly 4 cm long. That gives you a shaft of 21.7 cm. Hope it helps I got 2 of those and I am happy with. I will try the Vapour Trail Elite on tuesday to see the difference. Good luck in choosing a racket.
Try Apacs Tantrum 200. It's a balance racket, not too stiff and in a correct hand can deliver a devastating smash. An all round racket suitable for double......
Well, sad to hear that my friend:crying:.....like any other good racket mention above, T200 is one good racket that you should try.
Seems it can be bought in Europe as well : http://www.apacsuk.co.uk/apacs-rackets/tantrum/tantrum-200/prod_58.html
