I personally like the N90II (2nd generation Lin Dan racquet). Color: Red / Gold Material: Military Grade Carbon Fiber Weight: 85-89 grams Grip Size: S2 (Extra Small) S3 (Small) Grip Length: 200 mm Overall Length: 675 mm Balance Point: 304 mm Flex: Medium Tension: Vertical 24 – 28 lbs. Horizontal 26 – 30 lbs.
Arc11 3u: Decent speed, excellent accuracy, good smasher but as powerful as vtzf and nrzs and a very all-rounder type of racket. NRZS 3u: Fast racket, excellent smasher, easily can generate power for fore/back hand clear and drive...etc but all these with a sacrificing in defense (smaller frame) and accuracy (need time for adjustment).
As for me.... NR 700RP - this racket was built for defence, netplay and drives. I love it, but unfortunately it suffers from lack of power when smashing, and the "extra stiff" staff hurts my hand. :/ Gosen Ryoga Tenbu - can't go wrong with this racket. It's a perfect balance between attacking and defence. Such a joy to play with. The "unappreciated" brother of the Ryoga series. Gosen Trivista 800 - remember what I said about the 700RP? This is the better version of it. More power on smashing, and excellent control. My new go-to racket.
Gosen ryoga tenbu for me. Fast and great control for me. As for smashing it always boil down to your own technique no matter which racket. For those who are looking to increase their smashing ability and overall game, seriously it is better to get a good coach to guide you. Much more cost effective that way
My favorite is : AT700 PR2012 3UG5 (it's a shame I could never try the other versions... they were out during the time I stopped playing)
hi, i'm new to the forum and would like some recommendation on some rackets.....jk anyway yonex voltric 70 and victor bravesword 11 and victor superwave 35 are my favorites, all strung with victor vs-850 string
I also tried the "MEGA POWER FLAME N55-III" (Zhang Nan's racquet) and it feels pretty good. It comes with Air stream technology designed to increase swing speed. Here are some specs of the racquet: SPECIFICATIONS: Color: Bronze, Blue & Purple Material: Military Grade Carbon Fiber Weight: 85-89 grams Grip Size: S2 (Extra Small) Grip Length: 200 mm Overall Length: 675 mm Balance Point: 303 mm Flex: Medium Tension: Vertical 24 – 28 lbs. Horizontal 26 – 30 lbs. It also comes in 2 colours. A purple/goldish and a silver/goldish. I like the purple version... looks hot!
Yonex Nanoray ZSP Excellent smash power and speed in general. Takes time to stop mis-hitting due to the smaller frame and longer to hit the higher sweetspot consistently. Not as defensive and manoeuvrable and quick as other Nanorays though
Racket that best suits me now : ~ Nanospeed 9900 (3UG5) x NBG98 ~ MX JJS (3UG2) x NBG98 ~ MX 90 (3UG2) x NBG98
Its a difficult choice... cos they're also similar in price. But as for difference and quality, its almost non-distinguishable? People say they're very similar. But its a case of "newer doesn't mean better". Just like how MX80 is old and almost extinct but still loved by many.
Yup tats the exact thought. MX80 is still the best, lively and direct. Overall i'm leaning towards MX JJS mainly due to the crisp feeling. These two are keepers Need more time for MX90 and it plays much better than my prev MX London
