TYPE:Intermediate i have played badminton of good quality from past 5 years but i always played with yonex CS-006... i know this racket must be unknown to most of u guys... now i m starting to take more badminton more seriously and want to win my college tournament.. for that i need a racket.. STYLE OF PLAY:attacking with a bit defence i love smashing but i also like backcourt drops.. I have done quite a lot of research before posting this... my budget is quite low and i found out that i could have only musle power 2,3,5,010,10lite with my budget:crying: i need u guys to tell me which of the above listed racket will suit my style of play.. i want LIGHT AND MEDIUM FLEXIBLE racket for good smashing i wanted to have BG65 at 22lbs in my racket but low priced rackets always come prestrung:crying: so please help me choose my racket.... oh i forgot i want isometric one..and a slight head heavy
Out of the ones you mentioned only MP10Lite/Light is normal/modern weight, the rest are heavy(er). How about Armortec 150? Or it's replacement I'm now reading: Armortec 30 ...
I have mp10light. This racket is ok, light & medium flex. Max recommended string tension is 22lbs. But, this racket length is 665mm. Most racket nowadays is 675mm long.
first of all thanx to u guys that u replied...i was really disheartened cz no one was replying.. i googled the features of armortec 30..it suited my requirements bt the price is a bit out of my budget really... can u guys suggest another one of lower price....some requirements can be compromised on my part.... thank u in advance..
Well once you get lower on the muscle power series, the rackets start to be made of non graphite materia. Maybe you should look into Apacs racket? And maybe you should give us a $$$ figure on your budget, it'll help.
i just realized that 45 wont do to get a light medium flexible good racket for smashing... right? i will have to save a bit more...hey guys would 55 dollars do something good?
http://www.head.com/badminton/racquets.php?region=eu&tag=nano_pct&id=2702 Not sure if you can get the Head nano 500 for 55USD but it's worth a suggestion. Kinda has what you want. But if you could get a look at apacs where you live then you should try there.
thanks a ton bro for the help...i will surely look into apacs....if i can find them...i live in india and the racket brands that are available nearby are yonex,head,carlton,cosco.....any suggestions from these brands???? i would love a yonex racket...cz it gives a different type of feel to me...
Yeah. Try Yonex Carbonex 8 old skool? yes. old look? yes. outdated? yes. small sweetspot? absolutely yes.. poor performance? big NO this racket is a Top of the line on it era back then. Price = below $45. Shaft is medium. Not too stiff. Pack a brute power on the sweetspot. Its also a good to go racket for player who want seriously improve their badminton. Still a used, deadly weapon of mine today beside all the modern racket nowaday i also have
