Maklike Tier, please clear your inbox? I'm curios about your project. Is it possible to get a prototyp?
Hi Mate, Depends what you mean by 'get'. I'm pretty much done with the prototyping stage and hopefully I'll have pre-production prototypes sometime next month. I'll probably offload the unneeded variants at some stage.
Thanks heaps for the offers guys, but I already have enough feedback on the prototypes. The next stage is pre-production prototypes and soon after that, you'll be able to give your own review of the actual finished article! Heck, I probably shouldn't even be posting pictures of the prototypes, so you're already getting the inside scoop to a degree that you don't get with any other badminton racket company.
I've started the process of working on the finished art for the racket! This will probably take about a month and will involve hundreds of changes, tweaks and mods.....which sounds bad but is actually a heap of fun! Let us know what you think!
That looks sweet if not a little arcsaber 7 esque. If you're looking for pointers would a splash of red or something in the yellow and black area look nice? Or are you going for a less flashy look?
Oh, this will be flashy. The orange sections are a holographic foil, and over the top of the woven sections on the sides of the head is and 'autumn' colour shifting clearcoat that flips between crimson/orange/gold.
:crying: ah.... you're gonna make me even poorer.... So many rackets to buy, so little money to spend...
Can't wait to see that racket design in real life! Now, about the head heaviness. Is the racket going to feel like a Voltric where the weight is all at the top of the head or like a typical victor meteor? Of course, I understand if all of this is still top secret
Kinda in between. But it won't be a 310mm + singles racket like the VT80 or ZF. If you order one with a BP of 300, it will feel a little like a Meteor (but hopefully with better tactility). If you get one with a BP closer to 305, it will be more along the lines of a Kason C7 except much stiffer torsionally. Many people don't realise that if you get two identical rackets - one with a BP of 295 and one with 305 - if both of them have the same stiffness shaft, the 295 version will play much much stiffer. What I've tried to do with the spec, is have a racket that at the lower BP's will be nice and stiff for those quicker, wrist-ier players, but at the higher BP's it will feel like a nicely weighted, sensibly stiff, moderately head heavy racket.
What's happened!? I was liking the regular updates, perhaps everything has gone quiet as Maklike Tier has created the perfect racket and now can't put it down!! Have we had any sort of release date yet? Looking very much forward to seeing the selection on offer.
