guys,

how much a lining n90 II would cost? I did a survey .. the shop quoted me rm750 with string or rm810 with string and big lining bag (3 compartments) ... cheap?
*
Yeah its the standard discount. If you're getting the bag, do get the national team bag yellow/red, quite striking and the material is real high quality.

My wrist hurts every time after I played, is there any suggestion that you guys could provide ?

ps: I'm still learning and wanted to get an entry level racket, prefer better smashing, could you guys recommend a racket as well? Within RM200. Thanks in advance
*
It could be your technique, perhaps you snap your wrist too much without proper pronation for overhead shot. Or the racket might be heavy too, but I suspect the culprit would be the former. And better smashing comes from proper technique as well. But if I have to recommend, do look for Apacs Tantrum 200, it has alot of positive reviews.



Btw guys, any shops you guys recommend to check out badminton shoes ? Most importantly sizing availability. Looking for SHW8500, or Li-Ning professional series, wore 2 Asics previously and they were quite narrow, and dont really fancy Mizuno design. Yesterday I searched from Pertama - Far East - Sunway - AJ - Racket World Puchong, no luck. Btw Im wearing US12 and 4E. Malas wanna survey already, gathering up the phone numbers and start calling them instead I guess.

I went to proshuttle few days ago and the staff recommended me lining UC3100 for RM259 with bag and string. Isit a good deal? Actually I'm looking for a racket within the price range rm150-250, I like smashing and don't mind sacrificing a little bit of control, which racket would you guys recommend or recommend me places that I could get racket at the cheapest price?  smile.gif
*
UC series is medium flex, should be ok to assist you to get extra swing speed if you dont have the arm or wrist. Good thing about buying from Proshuttle is, they will do their best with warranty claim whatever happens to your racket, I've seen several rackets cracked due to clashing yet they get new ones for replacement.

Do you play in Proshuttle ?

Edit : Btw just now went to Suntex Sports, they have SHB92MX size 12 going for RM230, should I or should I not hmm.gif

Cool man, congrats.

Guess its really hard to make way for Saturday session with all the family and friends planning, apart of nursing my injuries, that's why long time didnt see u and the rest, sorry mate.

Anyway, would you guys care for friendly too ? I discussed with Haffiz earlier but no luck so far.

Erm.. what do u think bout ti-10?
Btw any knows what the diff between normal ti-10 and the limited edi?
*
Ti-10 3rd Gen and Limited are the same identical racket in term of specs. Its RM380 including BG66 and Wilson overgrip. Its a stiff and fast racket, balance between offense and defense. The only downside is the frame is kinda fragile and could not take very high tension.

Seems like you are keen on high end Yonex, if you like raw power, the Voltric range should suit you. VT80 with stiff shaft or VT80 with medium stiff shaft.

Only cosmetic diff? But the limited edi is like rm400 and the normal 1 is rm460 from what I see here
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&hl=carbonex+35

Btw, Im not so confidence in stiff racquet yet so sw37 I scare cannot handle... Haha!
Eh not bad... U know any1 selling racquet can introduce me?

Any1 knows if there are any promotion going on?
*
SW37 is medium stiff, shouldnt be problem if you are worry about the stiffness. The likes of MX80, SW35, Ti-10, NS9900, these are really stiff racket to begin with.

If you are looking at other brand, Victor range might suit you, SW37, MX70, MX60, all medium stiff shaft, headheavy balance racket. Owh I dont know any promotion, but know some of the shops really offer good prices on the high end racket.

@radmaszeal

Both cyberspeed and blade 3 have similar design, but if the colour of the cyberspeed is bright red go for it man ! Very cun haha. Most of people complain about Yonex shoes altho the power cushion works well, but the durability of the shoes itself is worse. While Asics might last you 2 years, the Yonex might not even survive half a year.

Hi LYN,

I've further shortlist my selections... Can some1 advise me on each of these racquets please?

yonex Voltric 70
yonex voltric 60
victor sw37
apacs slayer 88
apacs lethal 90

I prefer:
head heavy
mid to stiff flex
offensive play
play doubles most of the time

Any advise will be very much appreciated ^^

Edit: I came across a dealer offer voltric 70 for RM450 with strings and grip and VT80 for around 470. Is this a lil bot too good to be true?
*
Voltric 70 - Very head heavy, mid stiff, heavy racket overall.
Voltric 60 - Similar to 70 but with more flexible shaft.
SW37 - Mid stiff, slight head heavy, more forgiving than VT70.

No idea regarding the Slayer and Lethal but they are quite offensive racket as what people claim.

You know what, get the SW35, super solid racket, pack alot of punch. And the price is affordable too, cheaper than those you have listed. Dont think too much about the specs, you gotta try it out to know whether its a racket for you.

I own Yonex Ti-10 but I would say it's the best racket I ever had for double. I don't know why but I just love the way its responsiveness. Powerful and a fast racket - suitable to double play.

Unlucky, I just broke it last week. Mishit and the shuttle hit on frame, gosh! It's gone. LOL. I am considering to get a replacement, either Ti-10 LTD or SW35. Seems SW35 is highly rated here. So, I might give it a try.

how much can get i SW35? string? bag? all come together?
*
Ti-10 is legend man, it felt good up till my second hour of owning it, broke it on the day of purchase damn ! Now it has been 3 months waiting for claim from Yonex.

SW35 roughly around RM390 plus grip and string, most probably BG66.

QUOTE(ikki9394 @ Feb 5 2012, 03:02 PM)
Yeah I was kinda keen on getting ti-10 but apparently alot ppl say its fragile and might even crack during the 1st strung at 24lb and above.
I later find that there are quite some positive reviews bout the sw37 so decided to go for it... But another thing put me into dilemma is voltric 70 price and performance is quite tempting but later found out it is also a quite fragile racquet and more suitable for single play.

I think Victor BS series is more like your ti-10 compared to the sw series. Perhaps the bs11 seems pretty similar to ti-11 i guess.

Price can refer to forumer ZhenSheng or Arc1414
*
Nope, none of the BS series similar to Ti-10, not even BS10 altho the shaft stiffness is pretty stiff but BS series swings thru air real fast.

Actually, dont bother too much about single or double racket, if you can wield it, any racket also can. You mentioned you want extra power so head heavy and stiff is the way to go, but you want speed as well for maneuverability, slight head heavy and stiff should be right for what you want. Altho SW37 is not as stiff, but it packs quite a punch too, worth to try.

What do you mean by fragile ? Ti-10 yes, the materials used are like the same as 10-11 years ago when its first production. Voltric 70 has warranty up to 27lbs. Of course if you are talking about clashing any racket also can RIP. I think you wont go wrong with either two VT70 and SW37.

Power - VT70>SW37
Maneuverability - SW37>VT70
Price - SW37>VT70

Hey, how come you never consider MX70 ? Jordan mentioned it now remember tongue.gif

QUOTE(findecano1 @ Feb 5 2012, 03:08 PM)
I was a Ti10 2nd gen user before. SW35 will feel totally different from Ti10. Although it is said to be even balance but you can feel the weight of the head when wielding it. SW35 would be much stiffer and head heavier compared to Ti10.

Ti10 LTD tested it out before for a game feels different compared to Ti10 2nd gen that I have before. The shaft seems not to be as stiff. I would rate it at best medium stiff.

Meteor 70 or MX70 I would say would say be the Victor that feels closest to Ti10. I have never tested that racket before but owning MX80 (which is also a beast on its own) feels like a Ti10 but with a much much stiffer shaft.

Mizi: I am SUPERWAVED 35!  flex.gif
*
From the spec that available on Victor Taiwan for SW35, Full stiffness and balance head weight, but it was never that balance to begin with, I felt the MX80 is more balance. Perhaps the solidness of the SW35 explained why it felt that way.

Recently I play like 4-5 times a week, I dont think I can handle all the head heavy and extra stiff and high tension anymore haha. Im seriously thinking of more balance and flexier racket nowadays, but havent decided which to go for. Arcsaber 10 ? F9 ? brows.gif

When wanna test power SW35 ? notworthy.gif

Was the frame totally broken ? Or cracked ? Best is go back to the shop you bought before and ask them to claim for you.

Yeah, thinking of Lining NS95 just like the Ultra II setup. Sweet too, and cheaper. Compare to BG65, NS95 holds up tension pretty well at 30lbs.
