low end yonex are as stable as the high end ones. maybe less "tech" included in manufacturing it only. stability pawns apacs hands down, unless u're talking about high end apacs which would have similar stability.

..or maybe it's just me. i can feel the vibration of my AVPs.

Why you hand so sensitive to vibration? How to train that? hmm.gif

so for the same price, will the more branded ones have better specs? or the less branded ones?

There won't be better specs. Just better materials used. The accuracy of the specs will be better with branded ones. For example Apacs do have many racquets with different specs but most of them feel the same. laugh.gif Yonex in the other hand do have a lot of specs as well and you can actually feel the difference. smile.gif

Hi,

I never use VT80 Etune but my friend who very strong in smash said VT80 Etune not suitable for him. Try VZF2 4u (if you play double) instead if you want to stick with voltric. Just my 2 cents.

oic, ok...saw in a buysell pages FB,,,so many plp sold their vt80e, duno why

If quality is your main concern then the better brands do have better quality. To me the brand doesn't really matter. What matters most is the specs of the racquet. smile.gif

Hi guys,

I have ProKennex racket aged more than 20 years (dont know exact model name).
It has full alloy frame (not alloy finish or paint).

My question is what is the max tension that this full alloy frame can hold?

Most stringers said 18lbs is max. But i see the frame is very flexible and strong. Hit wall and marble few times and survived.

Do you think full alloy frame can hold 24lbs tension?

I attached pic if anyone can recognize it.

Thanks,

The shuttlecock is made of a small piece of cork, coated with leather and 25 to 28cm wide.


This is my first time visiting this thread, I've read the cork size is huge.

Thanks,
Most shop I asked only dare to string up to 18lbs, only 1 shop said can do 20lbs.
Currently strung BG65 which is thicker.
So I guess depends on how skilful the stringer.

Alloy might be not as strong as carbon/graphite but it is not fragile and more flexible.
My brain said 22lbs shouldn't have a problem.
