Urgent : I'm about to buy..

Accord Man · 10-24-2002, 02:54 PM

Hi,

Theres a sports shop that has raquets on special..

I was considering the BK 733.

But, I could now get

either a Rapier pro 765 --- 75$
or a Competition pro 1052 --- 60$ (this one looks amazing, but who cares)
Both BK..

Any thoughts on these 2 ?

for those that dont know about my situation, http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/sho...&threadid=7463

So you're looking around $100 price range?

I've only tried rapier pro in stores a long time ago ... but ended up buying mp-55... rapier felt decent.. YY mp-55 I really liked though....

Orrrr... get one of those cheap Winex Racquets from WWC

.......

I think those are all decent racquets... go to the store.. pick each of them up randomly and swing it around without looking at the racquet... then pick the one that u like the best :P

Just make sure you get good string at right tension for you... I think thats the most important thing!

thanks man!

the only problem with swinging racquets in stores, is that they have those security things attached to them..

Oh well, I'll see what I can do.

Try YONEX carbonex type racquets

My recommends are

carbonex 8 tour sp(Cool Black +Dark Blue)
carbonex 9200 (maybe)

Try yonex strings or any other which fits u best

yonex strings have description on the packets

i wonder other have......?

i would say if u want to try Yonex Cab rackets, go for something a little higher. Something like a Cab21 or something like that.

With all due respect to TourSpEdition, the Cab8 Tour Sp is an old racket that most people woud overlook nowadays. And for the Cab9200. well...... Would anyone want to even buy it??

TourSpEdition · 10-26-2002, 06:56 AM
