ProAce widebody 550 user here. A bit too light. Cant control the shuttle like Pro-kennex. Missed my Pro-kennex I bought in London. Sports shops there even have a weighing machine for you to weigh your racquets before buying them.

the RM32 gosen string is 0.66
now used by our national badminton team
its very durable, good for smashes..
i wanted BG-66, but he said its not so good..
and anyway, since string included, might as well get the "expensive" string lar.. hehehhehe *kiasuism*

i am using the BG-66 on my Isometric 500...
so i guess i'll get to test the gosen string...

cab 8 is good one also...i usd cab 8SP before and pretty suitable with me...but last week i saw cab 8 Titanium Super...silver in color...saw it in Jusco Midvalley....pretty light and seems like ok..but haven't heard or seen it before in other places.....priced at RM199...

bryan...
its not blue-in-color..that one is Cab21 Special....cab21SP is grey-in-color dude....hahah...tested for few games already..found out that it really suits me...like it very much....

i'm using Finnex Legend 2.. the head of the racquet is quite heavy and good for smashing..even there is a sided rubber between the racquet's head to made control more efficient when playing in front of the net.

hellu there.. i suggest u use the Yang Yang is ok. because ur budget.. but if u've more budget! get Yonex.. first, u got to define the type of badminton playing technique u r. so furhermore, if under rm 150, i suggest u get other then yonex or pro ace, maybe yang yang, leopax, x calibur, maybe gosen is ok. if u r controller player and not to many offensive, get yang yang is ok. if u r offensive player, do make pro ace is also ok or yonex. is u r normal player, just gosen make goodies. but if u know one things, since i use yonex armotec 700 and yonex muscle power last few days, its also good. but let me give u some good advise, yonex can badly broken when crack with something. trust me!

Controller - yang yang

controller + offense - gosen

controller + defense - fleet/

offense - pro ace, yonex, impact

regular - x calibur, leopec, apacs.


this is just 4 my last experience since at batu pahat johor shop always ask me to test many racquet.
but this just average 4 most of the type, not all, if 4 sure.. give more specified. what type of player u r.

thanx 4 d suggestion....

nice guide.....

Controller + Offense = Gosen

our shuttler use Gosen .. but .. still no offense .. huhuhuh ..

This should asked our lovely Misbun lo'..the coach...hehe...

my opinion is that it's mostly depends on the player skill. Racquets are designed mainly to suit different play style. So get one that you like.

Heard sumone bought a Cab 21SP for over RM200, man that's expensive, my double partner just got the same racquet with grip, string and bag for about RM160 only.

Normally how much you guys string up your racquet? RM 23 or more or less?

hmm... Prices for the racquet are certainly been barred .. not much big different between the same model ..only if there are promotion held in certain shops only..cheers

nice thread man. ...but then i still very blur where's racquet world,pertama compex, eatakoh...can anyone brief a alittle about the location of those place so that i could visit there sometiem soon??cant wait to get a new racquet...previous racquet was wilson...broke by car boot...hai~ thanz alot

err'....as i know that pertama complex is located somewhere near Sogo complex which is near the passport developing centre...
