I bought a palladium xt 96, phantom x speed 2 and x shadow. Yet to string. How is the xt 96? Anyone has experience with it? The speed 2 is lighter than expected. Around 84g without strings. Is it normal?
Sorry. I have not played with these yet because of the covid situation. But I can tell you how the frame feels. Both are very aerodynamic. Similar head profile. shadow is a tad more flexible than speed and has a bit slimmer shaft. Shadow is head heavier and overall heavier. So, speed 2 will be much faster, but the one I got is light (frame just 84g). So it will lack in power for sure. Shadow is more powerful due to head heaviness and medium stiff shaft.
Both are not similar at all. Only the frame shape (phantom air flow) is similar. X Speed 2 is definitely lighter and even balanced (with a grip, head light) compared to shadow. Shadow is overall heavier, and head heavier. Getting both has advantages. Shadow might be better in singles compared to speed and speed will be much better in doubles.
Saw a selection of Ashaway rackets while buying shuttlecocks the other day. Any recommendation for a head-light balanced racket?
