yo yo
can any1 enlightened me about what is tension is about
i heard that professionals are suppose to use 25 and above
advance player around 22-24 n beginners 21 n below
why is that so? what are the difference ar?
which tension is best for smash? with a heavy head like armotec 900p/700

haha thank you i read a few articles about tension uh not so strong anymore haha cause i just started badminton so ive strung it at 24 just right for me atm

thanks alot btw

cause taufik hidayat is using technique =D
haha i guess at the end of the day it all boils down to your game play
i wanted a technique too but I choosed the Arc Saber 10 havent got my racket yet cause there were defects on it, so I claimed the warranty haha maybe another week or so..

hmm i suggest u get from this guy friendly and reliable
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=599997&hl=racket

i bought the Apacs Nano 900 power they say its about or like the armotec 900 power only that its cheaper rm 129 only haha

n i recently bought the yonex arc saber 10 thats about it =D

sorry i dont know where sell high end rackets >.<

yea i dont think its the same also i bought it cause i just started badminton but since i have my moves i upgraded to the arc saber
hmm maybe all they did was copy the weight of the head and stiffness of the shaft thats all haha

hmm 3u is lighter right haha its ok i ordered the 3u already =D hope ill love it hmmm smash go for armotec 700 or 900p

the higher the tension the more control you have
the lower the tension the more power you have

unless u have strong arms go for higher tension! mine is at 24-25

if you want power get a head heavy n a stiff racket

the thinner the string the better the repulsion BG 66 NBG 98 both strings are 0.66mm
but obviously the thinner the easier it breaks haha BG 80 is a good 1 too

yes im using nanogy 95 on my arc 10 im going to get 98 after my 95 breaks haha
its suppose to be a repulsive and durable string its good
i love it very much but the price is too high

uh regarding tension i got this from this article
"There is always the temptation to go higher in tension, but this is a case of bigger is not always better. Higher tension does not give you more power as mentioned above, beginners should always start with lower tension of around 20lbs, adjust it to 22-23lbs when you progress to intermediate and only go up to 25+lbs if you are gain more power in your technique. Using the inappropriate high tension will make the racket unresponsive, decreased power, and will easily cause injury."

String tension affects the playability of the string as much as the string itself. The general rule of thumb is that the harder you can hit, the tighter your tension can be. A higher tension rewards a hard hitting while robs power from a light hitter. On the opposite end, a lower tensioned string helps light hitter with a better timed trampoline effect.

oh and btw do you know any where in PJ/KL sells KARAKAL pu over grips ? thank you =D

Added on April 18, 2008, 9:27 pmthe reason why string breaks so fast may vary sometimes its because u always smash, you hit the shuttle at the wrong spot top left bottom n right, the right place to hit while smashing is at the sweet spot of ur racket which is the most durable.
