Dang, the real sifus come later and shoot me. Im nowhere near sifu honestly, just trying to help fellow enthusiasts to enjoy badminton like I do ! Im pretty sure everyone in this thread would be glad to help too.
SifuSotong dah datang dah ! For a starter, most important to get the technique and footwork right first, but getting a suitable racket helps alot too.
Clone as in the paintjob imitation, both of them play differently. If you want sub RM100, the Apacs Nano 9900 is a good racket at its price. My friend has it and sometimes I do play with it, easy racket to play with, there is Apacs Finapi series, and RSL Scream M12 for RM100 including string and grip. RM150 - Rm200 there is Prince Triple Threat series, but the frame is kinda fragile (based on reviews I read and listen to), Apacs VH1800, VH2000, Victor Artery Tec TI99, Wilson K Factor series. RM200 - 250 plenty of decent racket, the Prince Oversize, Dunlop Biometric, Few Lining Ultra Carbon series if Im not mistaken. If you wanna give Yonex a go, VT7/VT5 are a good racket, or maybe Ti-5 or Ti-Zero LTD. There's Apacs Tantrum 200 but its kinda stiff you might not like it but its a very decent racket. At least these are what I can think of.

Edit : Saw you asking about the Cab21 Special. For a starter you might not like it, as its oval, the sweetspot is small, but it generates good power provided you hit the sweetspot consistently. But it's definitely solid and handsome racket for its generation (which cabs arent)  biggrin.gif

we played before...u should know im still beginner level...
tarak sifu at all rclxub.gif
i iz sad cry.gif

mscw88,
generally if ur arm no strength (like mine), go for flexible shaft, low tension
if u have powderful arm swing, go for stiff shaft, high tension
if u have somewhere between the both, go for mid stiff, proper tension that u like

the stiffer and higher tension, the more accurate ur shots are
provided u have the strength to tame them
else go for more flexible, lower tension

best thing to do, is to try out ur frens' rackets before buying
buying a racket without trying beforehand, can be very costly (especially for beginner like me sweat.gif )

got a replacement for my fz forza, which the shop sent over to fz regional HQ in singapore. hope they can claim warranty. got 2 replacements actually, wish nano force 1022. 4U, stiff, head shape like arc-z, hybrid between oval and iso. 1st time using 4U racket, damn easy to defend laugh.gif but it came with crappy apacs strings, keeps on moving around on the string bed. and also got a gosen aermet 7900. stiff, medium balance. just got a few hours ago drool.gif wanna test it tomorrow.
btw kd sports just received alot of stock for sw37, mx80, mx70, bs12. got price increase also sad.gif

Promo jugak -

Some of the shops around Cheras and Langat, you can purchase the camouflage shirts and shorts for RM50 both sleeved and sleeveless. I bought the blue sleeved and yellow sleeveless, plan to get the Gade's but duit kurang.

SW35 for rm350 is standard, sub 30% from retail. Still remember 3 months back Uncle David offered me SW35 RM300 all in, yeah that's including frame, cover, string, grip, socks, wristband god knows what else haha. But I didnt buy hahaha. Now no more but its not a surprise if he decided to come out with that promotion again, he did it with Arcsabers, Nanospeed, Nanoray, Braveswords, Voltrics at crazy price before.

Rad, try out the SW35, mesti anda suka. My go to rackets are these two - PP Ultra II, SW35. The stiffness between two are no difference with SW35 is slightly head heavier. Good thing is, the shaft stiffness is constant, and balance in offense/defense. The Ultimax, might give it some time to settle down, and you'll have your setup I think.

And I think I found my strings setup too, BG66 Ultimax @ 26lbs + 10% prestretch. Now its either BG66 or 66U, no need to spend money on experiment anymore. But, Victor just came out with 0.66 string, the NS-660Ti, might try it out too as long as its 0.66mm and below haha.

Just bought a new badminton shoe but feel a little weird. Grip not that strong on the court.

Is it because its still new thus the rubber sole is still hard or its not a good shoe?

29lbs + 10% pre-stretch right after stringing it will feel like 32lbs cos I usually play straight right after stringing.. 27lbs + 10% last time fresh string also can't really take it liaoooo until tension drops slightly  cry.gif

Still waiting for Zymax65 to come out. Going to give it one more month otherwise will just get a reel of Zymax62 in red!  brows.gif

what's the price is like for a reel? berapa meter boss? drool.gif

if im not mistaken
prestretch is stretching the string at the further x% by the machine, before returning to the requested tension for the actual stringing

eg:
requested tension = 30 lbs
prestretch = 10%
pulling = 30 lbs + 10% = 33 lbs
tension is then decreased back to 30 lbs for actual stringing

pros: minimize tension loss
cons: i tarak tau laugh.gif

these stuff can easily be googled ler tongue.gif
