How is the Stern 200? I was considering getting a cheapish racket since I broke my MX80. Actually crying over this :'(
stern200 is a good double racket. it have slim shaft (diamater 7.0 mm) and slim frame (is aerodynamic but not like victor bs series), with light weight and balance it is very suitable for front double player...if you really want this series, better you get the stern 300/330 because they have woven materials in frame and shaft.
apacs wad racket same as yonex nano 9900 ? i means not clone....is spec...high speed and attk not also too bad..
how's 6u rackets when you smash? like lethal light special or tantrum light exclusive. some posts say it'll be no-power smash.. sorry for my poor english x
No, it is not true for everybody. It depends on your wrist action. You can generate equal amount of power in you smash like that of heavy rackets. In fact I have noticed that TLE is better in term stability compared to many other 4U rackets. So it will be easy to put the shuttle down wherever you want. It is true for me that I was unable to deliver enough power like that of a heavy rackets for fore-and back-hand clears.
badminton bay or some badminton racket shops' description of Tantrum light exclusive says that [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]the[/FONT] weight is [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]78 +/- 1g (6U-G2)[/FONT]. i think it's not 6U but 5U. am i wrong? 3u:89-85 4u:84-80 5u:79-75 6u:74-70 7u:69-65 right?
Not sure why that's relevant though. Anyway, I think apacs class their weights differently to Yonex. I can't explain why they would call a 77-78g racket a 6U otherwise.
3U VT80 is doing great for me - it's still the new "toy" for me, so I've hardly touched my T300 and L70 for the last few weeks. To be honest, I don't think anything has changed significantly except my footwork and conditioning have improved - nothing to do with the racket. The VT80 smashes feel nice, but I'm pretty sure if someone measured the actual speed of the shuttle, it'd be pretty much the same as my smashes with the T300 and L70 - again, it's all about technique and racket adaptation. In my opinion, those that find one racket hugely better than another are generally lacking technique etc and are below B- level.
It is OK, I just need some time to get used to it. Balance is much different then my previous racket. Badminton is not big, but... It`s getting bigger. We have some promising juniors. Won some medals in Badminton europe junior / youth circuit. But... Basketball, Handball, Football, Waterpolo, Voleyball... Those are traditional serbian sports. And now, every kid wants to play tennis because of Novak Djokovic.
