I used RM100++ racquet (10% pre-stretched, 28lbs) also dapat 2nd place in Double's.

In a serious note, if you are an experienced player, you'll definitely feel the difference.

There are a few differences:
1. The tension of the string that the racket can hold is lower in a cheaper racket of the same brand. Some brands are cheaper and can still hold higher tension.
2. The stability of the racket when you swing it or hitting a shuttlecock will be different.
3. Depends on the racket series(head light, balance or heavy), some higher end rackets are harder for beginner to use.

not really
expensive rackets, and professional use rackets have 3U.
expensive is more to material, R&D, tests, prototypes, design, engineering, etc.

this channel is nice.
he interviews and find out what professional players use, string tension, string type, set up type, etc.

To add in the shape also gives a different feeling (i.e.: the conventional oval and isometric/square-spot). Personally I prefer isometric type.

you mean Lim Chong Wei?

since we're talking about badminton rackets..
anybody got any nice recommendations for slightly head heavy rackets?
budget RM 250 max not as rich as TS here. lol

dx-888h can buy from tesco

For beginner yes asics gel rocket 10 or 11 good as starter. But since TS afford and list expensive shoe and high bajet, so just rekemen him high end lulz!
But ya different people different choice, some newbie who afford they straight away get high end shoe and racket. For some they get cheaper shoe and racket. Nextime after gain good skill and play better then can buy better racket and shoe.

Most important in badminton is correct technique. If u can win by just play setting the shuttle for opponent and less smash, cheapo racket can already. If u a good powerful smasher, good racket give better power.
If me i depend on opponent. If opponent i can makan without power play, i use my old RM80 carbonex racket also can. But if meet powerful player and need do lot of powerful smash then i use good racket.
But now i dont really go for high end racket liao. I only use bajet racket yonex Astrox 9. Bought during promotion few years back RM150. My badminton group mostly use high end also i can win them most of time.
Many people thought using expensive racket they immediately can play as good as Lindan. Lulz!

Either Pudu Kompleks or Pertama Kompleks.

yeah but not all newbies can use the high end racket.. as in fully utilize it. Later might even injure himself / herself if get the wrong equipment.
like tennis shoes for badminton..

Just budget your shoes to RM200 and racket RM120 is decent enough for newbie. You won't be able to pick drop shots if you do not master your steps in godlike shoes or smash faster than LZJ with a godlike racket.

Investing so much for a sport that may break your back and cause cardiac arrest is a bad idea.

Lulz!

I want try use 30cm stainless steel wok.

I have this unused isometric to be given away free
But no takers

kevincCoffeedude
please advice.

Only tat need alot of adjustment if using tat cheapo racket. For smashing not so good but to play setting and bully opponent can.

No worry, they both sepu...pu...

Competitive sports zaman kegemilangan. Now jadi pengkritik sukan negara.

This one heavy enough for you?

Astrox 9 gooding but sadly no more production. Lulz!
If lucky u can find shop tat still keep astrox 9 stock, grab it.
If in yonex, slightly head heavy to fully head heavy look around under astrox series.
Astrox 77 play or game.
