Default Singles racquet...

I'm looking for a Yonex or Carlton singles racquet with a price tag not more than US$70. Can anyone recommend me to these and give reviews?

for $70 you can get Carlton's As-ti(top of the line), great racket with lot's of power.

Also I recommend you check out Victor and Yonex ISO 800 is a good racket

No the AS-Ti is. Funny cause I was looking at all the UK online stores and they are asking $139uk for the AS-T1 and 129 for the superlite or was that the Flex Ti. That's over $250 dollars CAN. SO what I am saying is prices seems to be different according to region.

I'm not sure about that carlton racket, but i suggest that u don't go for the Iso 800. Why? not saying that its a bad racket, i heard its probably 1 of the best, but its now discontinued and should you like your Iso 800 and break it, its, difficult to find a replacement...

ASTi is the top of the line Carlton racquet? Can anyone else confirm this? Any other suggestions for a good singles racquet?

Agreed! I see so many people flocking to buy old rackets, trying to re-live the old dream and I tell them that they are better off with the new rackets, cause once they break that old racket, say bye, bye. If and when you find a racket that is perfect for you, make sure you buy like 4-6 pairs(depending on the player) that way you will always have that racket.

Yeah, LOL! You want conformation go here www.Carltonsports.com

Here is how it is in order

AS-Ti
AS-1 or Mega Flex-ti
the rest is up to U

Can anyone give me the average price of the ASTi? What other Carlton and Yonex racquets can you recommend for singles play? (please don't forget to give the prices)

if you really like the new racquet and break it a few years from now... u cant replace it either. Unless you are stringing it at 26 lb, there's a high chance it won't break for a couple of years anyway.

note that i am not speaking form experience. it is from what i've seen in this foum.
