I think i'm just like ma43q, currently i stick to just a few brands of racquets like Yonex mostly.

Other funny brands just doesn't sound like a badminton racquet at all.

Hehe, that shop is getting famous ehh?

If i'm not mistaken, the name of the shop is Chiang Siah Store.
The boss is called Tan.

I used to buy racquets at a great price. Lots of freebies too. If any of guys who does not have a group to play with or want to have a more competitive game, ask him and see if you can join his group.

I played with his group on Thursdays and Saturdays but not anymore due to work and timing. You'll definitely get to meet good players in his group.

All the more you should change your thinking. Don't be shy and look the other way.

You should play with better players to improve. That's how i improved my strokes when i play with better players. His group of players give constructive ideas on how to improve your game.

You should join if you want to learn and pick up skills.

I'm currently using Fleet racquets. I think they're pretty good just as any other racquet. I've seen APACS new racquet too. Looks good and it's on promotion now.
RM179 for 2 racquets (Flat Head) together with grip and strings.

Can be located in E-Sports, SS14 (Subang Jaya).

I can't be too sure of the model of the racquet but ProAce would do you good. Get any of those Titanium Racquets with Flat Head. If you're the power player, get them to string the racquet at 25lbs. About the strings, you can try BG 66 or Ti-88.


I think someone else would be able to explain the strings to you more comprehensively.

I can't remember my Fleet racquets model because it's the older model when it first came out but i've heard of the super slim 3 racquet. I think it's quite good.

Power smash does not depend on string and racquet alone.

If you have a power setup but having weak wrist power will not bring the racquet's full potential. So train your wrist too!!!!

Haha, the uncle at Chiang Siah store very generous.

That's the reason why it's called Nano Speed, cos it takes a much faster time to swing when the racquet is very light.

Light is good but I personally will not get such a racquet cos it hinders my smashing. To me, I want power in my smashes!

RM800++ ain't my type of price for a racquet. I would not personally splash that much for a racquet.

My budget would be more likely in the RM200-RM300 region.
I'm not a professional badminton player...

How come you guys willing to spend that much for a racquet?
I wish I can afford it in the near future....

Those are collectors items ar?

Not meant for playing. And post the picture here if you do get it ya?

Hehe...i dislike using light racquets for doubles play, somehow it just doesnt have the feel when you smash.

Light racquets gives you more mobility in set plays. Meaning, you can do flicks faster and your wrist turns without less resistance. These type of racquets are mainly for singles play.

If you have a strong wrist, either heavy/light racquet would work. I prefer racquets that are not so light and not so heavy. That way, I can generate enough power for my smashes and light enough to do tricky flicks and not backfire.

Not necessarily Yonex. There are other brands like ProAce and Fleet that provides medium weighted racquet just like Yonex's.

Just my 2 cents. I'm using Fleet and ProAce and I think they're equally good.

How much is the MP-66?

I'm planning to buy a new racquet but having a hard time selecting one and be satisfied with it.

Is this chart accurate? I don't seem to be able to find where MP-33 is.
Or am i just blur?

How much is this MP-23 anyway?

It's good to see female playing badminton too.
I usually play in Puchong and Old Klang Road (Community Hall with 2 courts).
Ever since work picked up, i'm only restricted to playing once a week. I'm not sure abt the court rentals but i think it's cheap.

I have 2 Fleet racquets now and planning to invest in a good racquet. Both my Fleet racquets only cost me RM160 (inclusive of bag, strings, and grips).
Carbonex 25SP is a good racquet. If i'm not mistaken, it's quite heavy right?
