    RSL Diamond X2-SP + Yonex BG-85 @ 28lbs
    reason;
    1. lightweight, enable fast swing for my like.......:)
    2. more flex at shaft, you should come and hear the whipping sound that i make....:D
    3. solid build, feel stable whenever i am hitting hard to the shuttle
    4. string tension, can go up to my like, for example 28 - 30lbs
    5. price, value for money(for all the above)..............:D:D:D

    M7 7490 with BG80 strung at 27lbs cross and 25lbs main.

    a highly recommended all around racket.

    any racket which has a 3u and 4u in weight, even balanced head, flexible shaft will give you an advantage in defence.

    the 7320 is a bit lighter (than my 7490) but they are both even balanced. this model is also a good all-around racket but the 7490 is more stable in receiving hard smashes over-all.

    4900 & 6800 for me, very quick rackets, great for doubles, power is there when needed

    RSL Energy Ti 5180/bg66/25lbs/3UG5. Feel light and easy to control.Even blance but can produce a powerful smashing. Really useful for double player who like to attacking and controlling. Then on defensive side is not bad....

    the "old warrior" (attack 3200ti) is great for attacking and when you have a strong arm. it's still a very popular racket considering it came out around the end of 2002. rsl still produces this model at a limited quality up to this date.

    I like RSL Diamond X2 AP, which has more power than SP. Anyone here has trouble with G5 grip, some friend said it's too small and RSL is not supplying the G4 size.

    I have a RSL Diamond X2 AP and yes the grip is small. Instead of an overgrip, i used a carlton replacement grip.
