    Hi all,

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Today was first day back at badminton after a month off, and within 5 minutes my Arcsabre Fb snapped.

    So now I need to go and get a new racket.

    I have an apace virtuoso in my bag as a spare but I don't like the way it feels

    Any recommendations?

    Are you after similar racket to the FB?
    What specs do you like?

    I like the fb but I think it is to light at 75g, so maybe some thing between 85 and 95g.

    Stiff to very stiff flexibility

    Even balance or just a touch head heavy

    I have a budget of around £100

    Thanks

    I'm sure for that price you'll find a suitable racket.
    The carlton vapour trail tour is even balance mid/stiff flex. Could be worth considering. 85-90g.
    I have two of them in my bag a good all round racket.
    Yonex duora 77 my friend has and loves it even balance stiff flex
    Victor bravesword 09N is also in the same spec I had one til a racket clash ended bad for me.
    I only have experience with these any others either very head heavy or not in production anymore
    I hope this was of some help to you.

    Well, I think the BS12 or NR900 might be a good option to go.
    Or both.

    If you're in Europe try the Victor Lightfighter 7500
