Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a new racket soon.... I am an intermediate player wanting to improve and I play 1/2 times a week with feather and plastic shuttlecocks. I'd class myself as an all round player who likes to mostly smash but also likes playing precise drops and net shots. I play both singles and doubles My budget is around £55 to £60 After lots of research I came across the yonex voltric 7 which I think suits my playing style. Are there any other rackets that you guys recommended? Also, not sure what string tension to use, I had a racket with 24lbs and the strings kept on breaking when I smashed. Should I reduce the string tension or continue with 24lbs and hope for the best? Thanks Tarun
There is a special part of the forum for racket recommendations, please post there next time. Voltric 7 sounds like it could work for you. Or slightly less heav heavy like the duora 77 or victor thruster k600 could also work for you. 22-24 lbs sounds fine, but if the string breaks easy you could try a thicker string (bg65 or zymax 70 perhaps). Good luck!
