can anyone recommend me a racquet around Rm300- 400 which you guys feels it good when on smashing. Existing racquet Yonex carbonecx 9 (2UG4) head is light and grip is heavy which i feel pain when perform smashing.

Someone recommend me the Apac Tantrum 200 or 300 but heard from a few people APAC racquet can easy get bend if tension used is too high even though spec said can up to 35lbs.

Thanks.

I see...then T200 is totally not for you...

I played the other day. 1 game with T200 and am still amazed on how much control I got with it.

Is that not advisible to take Tantrum 200 as you guys mentioned not easy to control. I'm just need a balance racquet as current one is head light and grip is heavy. I would prevent my arm pain if too much enery use for long ball and smashing.

What is the recommended racquet in your opinion?

T200 will reward those with good techniques. I got to admit that I need a few sessions with it to get used to it...

My arm never suffered any pain from T200. Since the racket is solid upon impact with minimal vibration.

Heard from few person that APAC racquet easy to get bend?
Have you guys been experience this before? How about APAC Tantrum 200?

By 'bend', what exactly do you mean? And where did you get this idea?

Supposed to be bent not bend. I'm heard from few of my friends saying that
the APAC head will bent even though the tension is still in accepted range.

it is a good racket for beginner until professional level, so it is expensive biggrin.gif There is a reason why Lee Yong Dae is still using it and he still doing fine with the racket, winning several tournaments and beat FHF/CY of china, because it is light and if u watched the matches of the korean duo LYD/JJS, they do not smash much but their defence is so tight and they use good counter attack method to win rallies. No doubt tat is a good racket to own biggrin.gif

@zero_hour

ya, ns9900 need good wrist power, but if like me got so so wrist power, i still can do acceptable smash, but backhand is so so, and the hand will be kinda tired after long badminton session. If u have the power, for sure it will give u good smash, i am still trying to find a way to give my power to the racket, if it delivers, it really delivers biggrin.gif but mid court smash and front court net kill is what ns9900 is all about. U can play pressure at front court so much easier due to the head lightness. The thing i like the most is really the repeated smash of the racket, where i cant do it on any other racket as good as ns9900. The downside is always the price biggrin.gif if u have the money, that is a good racket to own.

Actually BS09 or BS12 is quite similar to ns9900, bs09 is abit head light and even balance yet not stiff, while bs12 is mid stiff, other same spec as bs09, so people would say bs12 is actually an upgrade for bs09, tho i never try it before.

@ziggy87

wanted to try sw35, but i scare headheavy would hinder much on defense >< perhaps i will get mx80, seems like it is the best all rounder racket for victor biggrin.gif

Most of the post you replied for recommended Yonex racquet is NS9900 if there is no budget contraint. Have you try on
ArcSaber 10, ArcSaber Z-Slash or ArmorTec 900??
If yes, what is your opinion?

haha... Normally those who can wield ns9900 very well, can do well in VT80 or MX80 because both are demanding rackets, where u need explosive wrist power. But i cannot do well in ns9900, so i need something less flexible. I dont know whether worth to get bs12 or just get bs09 is enough, because actually both are quite similar but price is like rm100 difference..  but i heard ppl saying bs12 is better at other forum..

never try those, no chance, no friend buying those rackets, only me burning racket money haha.. only tried something low end like arcsaber 003, memang no power compare to ns9900, huge difference i can say, even it says got wat nano air spring technology.. i only used ns9900, and i think it's good double racket, so i recommend to those who have the wrist power to wield it. if i got chance to try those, for sure i will do some comparisons smile.gif

Thanks for your comment. Oh ya, do let us know when if u got chance try those and dont forget about Voltric 70 and Voltric 80.

Any racquet in ur mind will improve the smashing power ?
