i had been palying badminton for about 15 years, been using brands like yonex, carlton, pro-ace and prince.

i think the best is yenox, the carbonex series. i m not sure about the muscle power series but i think the carbonex series is good enough. i m now using the carbonex 21 special, which now cost about RM150 i think.
huh

skills play a vital role.......if u are highly skilled, any racquet will go ur way.....it is the matter on how you have ur wrist work done and how well u control the racquet.

thats true
ultimately, skills are the most important factor in any sport
but if you use a piece of equipment not suited to you, you might not be playing at your best
"good carpenters don't blame their tools" is one of the crappiest sayings i've heard

off topic - try playing snooker with a really crooked cue
it irritates the hell out of you

back to topic - i can't hit the shuttle properly if i use any carbonex or isometric series
it doesn't feel right in my hand
maybe its just me...

well said there
i have tough time using my bro's racquet(ProAce WideBody series), can't really get a good smash and it seems that all my strokes requires more energy
while i'm using Sweetspot series(the isometric look alike), i find that i can hit the ball without requiring that much of energy
maybe i'm used to the racquet, that's why......

I wonder those titanium rackets are any good? Will they break as easily as carbon graphite ones? Coz i've "smashed" 2 rackets already - Carbonex 8 (Blue) and Carbonex 8000.... Really sakit hati, man!

I've been looking around for quite sometime now. Looking for best price and quality. Can't seem to make up my mind on any models so far.

As for the preference between brands. IMHO, brands doesn't matter as long as the racquet feels comfortable for you while you're playing. Just look back at the olden days, they're using wooden racquets for crying out loud!! And still they play some of the best badminton ever.....

So I think there's no answer to which brand is better but as for value for money, racquets that feels light enough to control properly are aplenty out there....

if i'm not mistaken...if u r talking about Cab 21 special....they can give u RM150 complete set...its cheaper than that etakoh what.....

well....last time they did sell the cab 21sp for RM160 during the promotion...but now its back to normal price...if based on Sunrise sport(yonex supplier)...its price is RM299.....then its still ok, right?

sorry don't have photo of it...yeh....using the BG-66 with tension of 24...the bag? just simple black and white striped bag written carbonex there.....

no prob dude...just wondering why the shop is considered as the expensive one as that is the place where people around me like to go and buy badminton's stuff as the price there cheaper for us....
hm...maybe i haven't come across other shop that u have done so before...

Ah Proace is fragile? My Proace of a month old hit my partner's during a smash conflict, and the whole "head" went bengkok, like wood tongue.gif

Now using Prince (yeah try some gwailo stuff), beautiful design, free bag, nice to use smile.gif

BTW, a quick question, the guy at the shop I went for stringing says the original stringing that came with new rackets is very good already and we don't need to change strings. Is that right?
