A little description about my play style to judge me before judging the racket from your own perspective.. I am more like an opportunist in doubles play than to thrash the opponent by thunder smashes. I like to suddenly slow my swing speed for sudden drops, not always a player who lifts shuttle from net!! Which means when it comes to net play I try to get the points within the net play.. I always try to plan my point to get a proper supply for my partner or for me. That means if I am at backcourt I will try to place the drop perfectly to that the opponent tries to lift it to midcourt for me to smash or play a bad net play to give my partner chance to do the net kill. I do smash with proper technique when I find a vacant area to get the quick point, I use stick smash when needed and if I have the time I will go for full smash. Does a lot of clears, flat drives and even flat drops too often.. Now coming to the rackets that I have been using. I generally use a head heavy racket. Coming from voltric family of rackets right from voltric 5 and 7. My first Li-Ning racket is Gforce 7000. Having admired the racket I bought turbocharging 08c. I just loved the racket for my use. I owned a n9ii as well after that but with n9ii I found that I need to have that extra time to smash and quick Defense was an issue, though the weight was not an issue (I am lean body structure person not a muscle man!!). I recently bought a turbocharging 50d (drive version). Which is mid flex and 83grams raw weight. With strings and grip I believe it would be close to 88grams. After Stringing with Gosen G-Tone 5 @ 26lbs. Initial impressions on TC50d is that I found the racket be very light. Infact I was worried if it could smash!! But boy.. you swing and u seriously get a good smash. The net plays and drops are heaven, clears are effortless but sometimes if ur out of your footwork then u need that extra effort to do the clear.. I.e u did a drop and u go towards the net and all of a sudden the opponent pulls a beautiful 3nd line lift, during that time u might need some extra efforts for a clear.. Defense are effortless, u hit the sweet spot the shuttle flies to 2nd line without a fuss, drives are great, drops are super and precise, smashes are decent and with time great!! Backhand clears are good from midcourt. I was easily able to put the shuttle to 3rd line. Though I had to try back line to back line backhand clear, I assume it will be harder and u need more time to do that.. don’t expect it to be easy.. i was Infact able to do couple of backhand smash which I was not able to do in any of my previous rackets.. I have to string it with my go to string bg80power to see how devastating the smashes are.. this is the first time I tried gosen string upon my friend recommendation. In all, I never get tiered of playing with this racket just that I feel too light but it delivers what it has to deliver. Amazing racket All this is just my opinion.
