not really on budget, but in kelantan, i really dunno where to get a reliable shop for racket, cos still beginner.

flex high racket got wat pro and con? i am weak on back hand, dunno how to improve

Why Singapore? the racket prices in Malaysia is cheaper ma.

best suggestion is to try out friend's racket and see if u like it. find out the specs and decide if those are the characteristics u want.

i'm still having the same issue, I used an old yonex racket of which i cannot find the specs, so i bought a second hand racket from a friend which has what i believe has the best characteristics for a beginner's racket. even balance, medium stiffness.

u play mostly doubles or singles? doubles better with even balance racket so u can defend better, with singles heavier head would be more suitable i think.

head heavy i scared arm not strong enough, cannot handle long playing hours, and also not easy to maneuver. but more smash power, i feel like getting a head heavy racket just to see nice or not, or i can handle it or not. still a beginner

all the time double, dun really know how to smash well yet, mostly drop ball and hit front behind and left right spot only...

is this consider control? and which kind of spec suit control playing style, and still confuse about spec.. is there any guide about spec?

its hard to choose,i just bought Victor SuperWave37,its spec is Even Balance and Medium Stiff ,but i feel it a bit stiffer than my Carlton Aerosonic X-833 GLO(same spec as SW37), different brand got different spec/measurement of their stiffness and grip size,

stiffness affect what? the more it stiff the better?

not sure, but if i use stiff racket,my hand will hurt, now using medium flex ( stiff ooo0o flex ) or medium ( oo0oo ),its a scale from 1-5

i wanna join la this club ..hehe.

coz i just came to singapore, i not going back malaysia this year. lol...
thats why plan to just get a racket here...

i think its still best to borrow friends racket to test and see if u "ngam" with the specs of the racket.
If u cant do so, then the safest bet would be medium flex, and balanced head.
just to be on the safe spot...
beginner using head light, i doubt u gonna generate enough power. too stiff, later u cannot handle.
too high tension also u gg.com. so safest bet i still would consider medium flex, balance head and also string tension around 22-25

I just bought yonex Ti-5 yesterday~nice!!

Guys, is it true, the lower de tension , de higher de repulsion? (means , de further de shuttle will go ryte?)

That's what I heard too and I think it is correct.

Imagine a trampoline, if the diaphragm is too hard, you can't bounce as high.

But then with lower tension you lost control and that affects your placement of the shuttles.

yup,but if too low,i dont think u can bounch back? hahaa! ..its a bit confuse,i just try and error string tension,now all my racket is 25lbs

Planning to buy mx80. anyone uses it currently? got any feedbacks?

Around 20 lbs to 23lbs should be ok for higher repulsion.

want to know stiff this 2 model..ns9900 and sw35...which is more stiff??

organize a session for thread members, make sure me and sifu ben come. then u can compare. i still wanna try ns9900 thoroughly before deciding getting a backup sw35, mx80 or ns9900.
