lcw the best no problem ! [MENTION=118784]holhm22[/MENTION] you guys have a strong misconception on badminton. Being able to swing a high end racket doesn't mean that you are playing well and neither does it say that you are exploiting it at 100%. Of course you can wield it, anyone can wield a 100g piece of carbon with a string bed and hit a shuttle with it. The issue is whether or not you are comfortable with it and how well you play with it. (and if it won't harm you due to lack of technique) My point for lcw the best was that if he really is a fan of lee chong wei and that he thinks that the zfII is a must have because lcw has it then he should buy it as a fan but not as a player. Because that is was will make him happy and that is all that matters. As a fan and as a player my opinion is that you should buy what makes you the happiest. Never forget that a racket is nothing else than some piece of carbon with "technologies" - that you actually never studied so you can only trust what the brand says about it without actually knowing if it's true or not - It is not what will make you play well but maybe it is what will make you happy, and that's the least for a USD100+ purchase
Yeah I could be thinking "ohh I'm like LCW, blah blah blah", but no. For me, it has actually helped improve my game plenty and has become my favourite racket of all time! I chose to buy this racket solely based on my personal preferences, being an attacking player and looking for head heaviness. In fact, I didn't know that LCW used it until after I got it. I'm seriously very comfortable with handling it. Before the ZF2, I had the mid-range Muscle Power 23 for quite a while. You're slightly being prejudice but thanks a lot for your thoughtful input.
umm, Guys! I think you have a misconception. I am buying a racket that could help improve in my game. Not to buy rackets from my badminton fans. I hope magic swords could really help me in my game. That is the main reason . I am picking between this two. If not maybe others. I just need advice because my parents would not buy me another racket and I need to save up to buy my own racket. I want the perfect racket that suits me. I will not buy the z force 2 or the 80 étude anymore and probably wait a few more years when the racket is cheaper . Thank you people for your advises.
You do have quite a few high end racquets at the moment don't you? I believe you should hire an coach to help you improve way more. A racquet is just a racquet it does help but not a huge amount... Like how I can beat many people with high end racquets. with just a simple low end racquet. Which I'm sure plenty of users on this forum can do quite easily. You reconsider your choice . But if buying it makes you happy and gives you confidence go for it! Just my opinion.
Thank you exert for your advice. I had never had a coach however my skills are top in the school. I learnt alot of things through the internet and when playing seeking advice and also from this forum. I have an exam two months from now and thats why I cant play much. I have to finish this exam before my parents would let me play like everyday. Yes i do have a few good rackets. This exam would most probaly determine my future. Its called PSLE or primary school leaving exam. If i do not fare well I am going to end up in a bad school and probaly a bad life.
It's a great thing that you learnt a lot on your own. Whenever you can (maybe after your exam) do try to get a coach as he can help you refine your game and point out things that you might have never noticed. Good luck with your exam!
IMO the string, stringing job, shoes and grip are equal to more important than a racket. In the last 4 years of badminton I bought one racket, to replace a broken one. I think that new rackets are not the key, if you know what you want and like. Every decent player who loves hh rackets will beat you with a suitable racket, regardless if it's ZFII or Armortec 50. I learned my lesson several years ago, that no racket will make me faster, will think for me to choose a good tactical stroke, no racket will improve my technique or footwork. IMO most people would be better off with a Voltric 5 or 7 instead a ZF, but no pro uses it.
Very true. Especially with regards to the VT-7. Although I am better now than when I had my VT-7, however that is only because of training and improving my own game. Not the racket.
IMO 2 rackets for 90USD are the better choice instead of one 180USD, if you can't afford 2 high end rackets and want to play serious. Championsships, tournaments, league games etc. I know alot players which have one +150USD racket as their go-to and a 20-30USD spare which they never use. These people are annoying customers for me, because if they break the strings on their go to they go on my nerves to do the job as quick and soon as possible, because they can't play well with their spare. These people are no teenagers, they are beyond 30 and league players.
I don't agree. IMO it's a bad idea, to try to grow in rackets. Firstly he will play worse if he can't use it properly, second his parents want to buy it for him. It's the same like saying to string @32+ lbs to force a player to hit the sweet spot.
This troll was obvious, but some people here share some strange advices, so I weren't sure. I know such posts only from Ferreriko and ureameatball.
yeah absolutely correct. it is the same as dropping a single needle on a football ground on first day , try to find it on 2nd day , and lose it on 3rd day , feel on 4th day
Unless he/she has the physique or skill of a pro even at such a young age But I agree with the guys' opinions. To OP, don't be influenced easily by marketing and wishful thinking. Check realistically which racket suits you more at your skill level Sent from my JSN-L22 using Tapatalk
