Hi guys, im a newbie to the world of badminton rackets, been using yonex all my life. I am tempted to buy different brand, but their website isnt all that helpful in letting me know what each rackets strengths/weaknesses/specialities etc are. Yonex's website has this racket guide which is quite helpful for me. If anyone can help me out in distinguishing the different series from different companies(i.e. Victor bravesword series, inside wave, etc) i would really appreciate it. Other than yonex rackets, im lost when it comes to the other companies such as li ning / victor/ etc. thanks in advance.
from the best of victor, there are only 3-4 choices: sw35 for power bs9,10 for speed mx80 for a bit of both which racket on the yonex chart were you considering?
Wow this is exactly what i was looking for!!! Thanks!!! I'm still currently using the ISO75 MF Light( its my first personal racket). And now im looking to trade up to a much more intermediate racket. I've been eyeing the carbonex series for a very well balanced approach ( 20 sp, etc) but for just a little more i think its in range of the Victor Bs-10. I don't consider myself a very good player, just intermediate at most. I want a well rounded racket to suit my needs.
The 20 SP seems to be a funny choice... it's a very old racket and non isometric. I would think that the ArcSaber 10 would be a better, more modern, choice.
really? well it seems to be well rated and according to the chart its really balanced. Based on the chart the arc 10 is more head heavy and holds more. Like i said im not an expert on this stuff, im only basing it on what i read about... if there is a newer well balanced counterpart of the carbonex 20 i would love to know about it.
i agree with ran495 i got hooked to yonex since i started cuz they have easy to read guides and everything while the other companies like prince and karkal and gosen i know theyre good though. iw oulndt suggest the companies webs i would suggest badmintonalley.com they give reviews on everything they sell and they summarize the main things. they also usually give them at a discount of 20 dollars for rackets and such
also if you want a balanced you could get a rsl racket. ithink my friend has a nano powerfrom them or amillenium diamond and he says they re both balanced
the best way to find your best racket is to go to the stores. since your in the. philines go to a sm or a festival and look for either tobys or chrissports. i have purchased from them both and they have huge varietys. also if you do purchase a racket at tobys i know tht the labor of stringing is free.
