hi to all badminton sifus...i started playing for almost a year with some frens...i would like to ask wat is the advantage of a very very light racquet (less than 80g with strings) and the flex is high...
my wrist power is just moderate...

i tried playing with Li ning n30 which i think is stiff...and it hurts my arm a lot when using stiff racquet....i think bcoz i havent recover yet but i still play badminton

so currently i plan to buy a light racquet to play with but i dont know wat kind of effect this kind of racquet.

my play style is more to defend and drop shots due to my arm injury i still cant smash well

2day i try play again....my elbow joint very very pain now...sigh..
shoulders also....looks like really have to stop playing a few weeks...
those 'tit'-ta' really works?

Yesterday went and bought a Victor shoe for around rm230

And today went to tabib cina and ask for urut but say acupuncture makes faster recover so i ok with it...i'm right handed player so this tabib fella acupoint my left leg....say its the elbow point...2 needle and then my elbow really doesnt hurt so much anymore....the he begin twisting the needle....damn f***ing pain....my leg..but elbow totally no pain...
and then another 2 needle to my left hand palm ...for the shoulder....this 1 damn f***ing pain also...twist a little bit only
And then another 3 needle to my right elbow....whole process around 45minutes....until now also can feel the pain........

My fren just bought a RSL X5 White....i feels its quite nice....any 1 else can giv comment on silver and gold?

Anyway sifus...i just got my self a good victor shoe costing 230 like tat and next i need to find myself a racquet
last time i bought a yang yang around 180 only....very light and very high flex i think....
then i got a rsl scream 068 which i feel is ok....and then later on as i play my elbow hurts a lot....i plan to rest 2-3 weeks...

then later on i need a racquet...rsl silver is stiff ? if its stiff and string around 26lbs is it hard to play?
wat about apacs tantrum 200?

so normal standard i see a lot string 25lbs is it?
so the higher lbs got wat effect?

can comment on both racquet?
really plan to get one of them

the Apacs W160 is training racket..it weighs 160g, almost double of a normal racket
the squash racket is also for training




Which place has good stringer?

If yonex string which type is good and has nice sound and also stiff feel?

bro...ur apacs tantrum is 3u or 4u?
string with wat string and at how many LBS?
is it good? i'm starting to develop better wrist power so i plan to get stiff racket to futher train up my wrist action

so apacs tantrum 200 or rsl x6 silver better?

oppps...its X5...so which of tat 2 is best bang for buck? i mean at least for you...and style u normally play?
X5 max tension is 28lbs rite....how bout T200?

chiller

bro...should have got from u yonex socks also la...toe start to pain edi

Recently my frens all suddenly upgrade their racquets after i bought Voltric 70 from chiller...fell in love with it
My other fren bought X5 White and then bought another Silver...because i
have been using voltric 70 so i prefer X5 Silver more...overhead clears are effortless.. but have to restring my voltric 70 coz i fell the tension left 23 or mayb 24 only...
After trying voltric 70, my the other fren bought a voltric 80...and then again,its a superb racquet...high clears are effortless,swing sound are amazing and smashes are crisps and sharp...his backhand also improve significantly...
Looks like a good racquet really can sharpen ones skill yea....

errr...all those i stated above are higher end model...with voltric 80 costing around 700...RSL X5 white will be nicer for starter-mid level player
rm350 with bag and string and grips

lee chong wei uses voltric 80

arcsaber o nanospeed or carbonex are different type of class...like heavy head,even balance etc etc
nothing to do with high o low grade....like in arcsaber got low end model,armortech got its own low end model,nanospeed also got its low end model

stiff rackets is really fatigue to play with...1 set or 2 set u will feel arm numb already

bro chiller...my hand start to pain liaw...lol
after constant smashing it become heavier and heavier......

i tink is arm muscle mass increases, hands getting heavier


Yup......its my hand tired very fast...of coz racquet remain same weight...but anyway the voltric 70 smash really wonderful...going to string it with
BG66 Ultimax at 25LBS

When use my fren Voltric 80 stung at 27LBS...fuh....smash power but really need a lot of wrist power...if not the shuttle kenot jalan

i think most people will string at 25lbs 1st then as they have more wrist power than they can go for higher tension

lol...mayb u should follow other sifu string 29lbs ?

guys...my elbow joint pain back edi after keep smashing...y is it like this?
previously also liket tis then i rested 1 week no badminton and then when i play back i just play high clear and drop shots....
if everytime like tat i mah nonit play smash liaw?
