Copied from Badminton Central Forum

If you want a racquet:
1. How often do you play, how serious are you?
- Once a week, not dead serious but also not too casual

2. What style of player are you? (Aggressive smasher, net player ...)
-All rounder; playing doubles with pretty much equal mix of playing front/back/sides/offensive/defensive

3. Do you care much about durability or is it all about performance?
- A balance of both

4. Whats the most you are willing to spend?
- RM180-200

Extra info if it helps:

5. Currently using Apacs Nano 777 Speed which is rated 4U-G2, medium balance and medium flex

I understand that the grip size for Apacs is the opposite to Yonex, so my G2 would be a Yonex G4 .

I dont have much comments on my current racket (maybe not skilled enough to critique), only maybe the grip I'm using is too thick, making it feel sort of grip-heavy.

6. http://www.sunriseclick.com/http://www.sunriseclick.com/ suggested to me the Yonex Arcsber 7 based on my playing preferences but out of budget.

7. If its blue it will be a bonus  biggrin.gif

8. String tension around 23-24lbs
*
if you cant really know what type of game you play etc: attacking, control, defensive, its kinda hard to recommend you a suitable racket.

Also, most of the pro's and sifu's here are into high end rackets. So for budget racket kinda hard to recommend i think.

Best advice is always go try your friends racket. Go pinjam and swing swing or play a few games with it is the best choice. Then you know which type of racket you love playing with.

Once your games improve eventually you will feel which racket type suits you. So.... go play more with different type of rackets. Happy smashing... icon_rolleyes.gif

F9

yup. Like newbie said. I will always love my F9. All those smashes, its addictive to me. But been keeping it in bag for awhile. It was a present from my gf and already got 2 paint chips. Afraid that I might broke the birthday present from her, so keep in bag only for now.

Been using Arc 11 more and starting to like it as well. Just hoping that it will just be a little tad heavier on the head. Just a little bit more is enough. Current feel like macam not beefy enough.

Being all-rounded isn't a playing style?
*
it is. All rounded players are like Yoo Yeong Seong and ZhangNan.
Usually all rounder player will choose even balance rackets. You also using even balance racket for now.

So you should try swing a few more rackets from your friends so you will know exactly what you want.

do you like your racket setup now ?
want it to be overall lighter or heavier ?
head lighter or heavier ?
Grip smaller or bigger ?

After all these question clear, thn can start go shop ask for racket recommendations according to the specs you like.

Arc7 is an awesome racket. Had 1 before. But clash of titans broke it into pieces. Sigh.

if you are really into even balance can find this following series :
Yonex = Arcsaber
Victor = BraveSword, JetSpeed
Li Ning = I dunno. sorry.. sweat.gif

anyone knows where to find ori cheap racquet shops in PJ/KL?

I'm looking for Voltric Z-Force or Z-Force II. Kinda new to racquet selection so need to personally visit and test.

Wondering if this thread is original? The Z-Force II selling @ RM145, but other invidual sellers selling at RM350~500
*
if its too good to be true means most probably fake.
ZF/ZF2 2nd hand is still selling at price around RM300 above for now.

You can try KD sports house in Kota Damansara to check out rackets. Or you can just drop by anyshop and have a look at the rackets you wanna touch touch hares hares. Thn can find for online seller which usually is abit cheaper.

I loled... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

ppl always just drop by and ask what is the best racket for RMxxx-xxx price range.

Next time we should just tell the ZF2LD. settle. let them go die with the head heaviness of the racket.

don't like that laaaaaaa ......

anyways mau mintak advice sikit

my palm is mid size but short fingers, do i make my grip thicker or thinner, till now i still cant get the correct grip size.

i have short fingers as well. It still depends on how you prefer your grip. Try and error lo.

Wrap with original grip thn add on overgip.
If xngam thn change to 2 overgrip only removing the original grip.
xngam lagi thn 1 replacement grip and 1 overgrip lor.

I also fuckup my grip size recently. Its always been 2 layers of overgrip only for me untill recently ass itchy go try 1 replacement grip and 1 overgrip. Macam sedap pulak... sweat.gif

no la peeps. Just checking as i know a lot in PJ areas are only offering 2 knots instead of 4 knots stringing technique. Just trying to build some awareness as they are people who do not know about it.

4 knots is needed for Yonex Warranty purpose as well.

just my 2cents.
*
champion court in ara damansara string 4 knots. Uses yonex stringing machine also.
I've strung there twice. Very nice tension.

But their price is kinda premium... sweat.gif
