Recommendation of a doubles' racket for advanced player

**Bigfatsiu** · 06-08-2011, 09:08 AM

I consider myself as an advanced player, solid fundamentals with strong wrist. I play mostly singles but would like to play a little bit more doubles as more frineds of mine play badminton. That's why i am looking for a doubles racket.

Though i don't know exactly the different between singles' and doubles' rackets, but i guess it's due to the difference in game plan.

I don't mind playing with demanding rackets, as quite a number of my singles' rackets are pretty demanding.

You will often find people go for a slighty head heavier racket for singles and a quicker racket for doubles. My recommendation would be a Victor MX80 if you can handle a stiff racket as this will combine speed with power which is a great combination for doubles.

Style of playing? Offensive, Defensive or drop shot?

pretty much on the offensive side, but surely, defensive shot can be played with comfort when needed
