Sorry for wrong info about the M700 in my previous post,..M700 is more head heavy feel than m9500(ask 2 of my friend to try)..this is a problem when a beginner player like me make a review.also, i just upload some pic,9500 n m700...9500 head area is longer...why?
You right "ilonsama" 700 (86-88g) is more head heavy than 9500 (84-86g), actually 9500 is very light compare to most of other RSL rackets. Not sure if you agreed, i felt the 700 is a upgarde version of 9500 but heavier. If you prefer for something light, i do suggest to try the M10 Heat 180. Great racket. Again, Photos from: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/RSL-HEAT-950...=ViewItem&pt=AU_Badminton&hash=item439e228b92
For me,compare to 9500,M700 is more easy to control,i think because of the flex shaft...I have tried my friend 9500,although it weight(84-86g) i found out it little difficult for me to use it,my reflect become slow,also in smashing,u need to put more power to it to produce a powerful smash..my conclusion,u must have strong arm to use 9500..or not too skinny.I admit,9500 is a good reket,but not suitable 4 me,i'm much prefer m700
How flexible is the shaft for the M700? I use the RSL Diamond X1 right now and it's one of the stiffest racquets that RSL makes. I like stiffer racquets, but the Z.A.R. technology seems interesting. It's supposed to make the racquet more aerodyanmic.
but at the same time, it makes it more fragile?? but how often does the racket break at the joint? haha
cyclone9, i have one used RSL X3 gold up for sale.. interested? please check on the link: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85063
The shaft of M700 IS similar to 9500 but a little more stiffer. Yes it's interesting design but not sure about the durable... I heard 9500 doesn't last (from pervious post). Anyway, I never have any problem with mine.
i thought m700 less stiffer than 9500,radar_s,if u got the m700 or have try it,please give some more opinion about it..
any opinion bout RSL heat 9100? selling at Sam Sport Serdang for Rm119 or 109 ( not sure) iclude string....tq
Heat 9100 is Head Light & Mid-Flex Shaft, good for control, attack so-so. Heat 9500 is a good alternative, which towards even-balanced to head heavy, mid-flex to mid-stiff shaft, good for attack, overall in control. I think RSL X3 Silver is more forgiving. Gold is little demanding & "flashy"
I think X2 Gold is stiffer the X3 gold! X2 Gold is really shiny too! Plus, X2 is an anniversary edition.
Hmmm been using RSL rackets from a while, 4010, X2 Blue, X2 Gold and Heat 9500, got a M10 700 from my friend haven't been use much. So far i don't have any problem with them, I heard some people have problem with 9500. Anyway been playing badminton for over 12 years only break one Yonex AT700 but i don't think it's the quality problem.
how was the smashing power produced by the 9500 ? can u review more about your rsl rackets base on ur personal experience? rsl series is cheap but with reasonable quality..no doubt..how do u think about yonex arc saber 10? i wish to own it so much.....this make me hesitate to buy RSL or Yonex ARCsaber10..
Sorry that i don't know much about ARC 10 since i only been used it twice from my friend, it's a Ok racket (hopefully i didn't againest anyone here). for Yonex rackets, so far i only like the feeling of AT700LTD, it is more head heavier than the normal AT700. I agree RSL they made good rackets, I just had a felt last night with 9500 and M10 700 again, the M10 700 is more head heavier than 9500 and felt more solid. They both have strong smashing power, 9500 is easier to contorl and faster on swinging. M10 700 does stronger smashes but since it's heavier then you need more energy to contorl it. Anyway, if you are a strong player, i do recomemded to get the M10 700, if you perfer a light weight racket, RSL X2 blue is the best choice.
