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.

dont think carbonex 21sp is withing the price range of 100-200, as far as i know carbonex 21sp is around 250....while 21 special is around 150.......i have carb 21 special...i only take it is a spare racket as it is a overall weight balance racket. i prefer slightly head heavy racket....

yea....maybe u should browse around the sports shop in pertama complex

my carb 21 special does have the PBSI logon on the cone, as for 21sp, i think it should have also

no problem mate,
btw where do u bought the racket? Pertama complex? which shop?

recently, there is a new series of prince racket, which they named it as prince oversize. according to the shopper, this series of racket has a slightly bigger frame than normal racket. it has 3 different color which is red, orange and silver. each of them has different characteristic in term of flixiblity of the shaft and balance point. if i remember correctly this reries are sold about RM 240 to 250 include bag and strinig.

i m using that shuttlecock....not bad in terms of quality and durability, the price price for 1 dozen is RM44.

RM400 for NS9000??!!! thats cheap....wonder it is real original or clone racket.

has anyone here tried yonex AT300 and Carb 30ms.....can give some comment about these rackets in terms of stiftness, type of string used, strung with how many lbs, feeling and power...etc....

woa...state player........if u come to the gathering, i really need to prepare to pick up shuttlecock only.....

RM279 is a little to expensive, shops in pertama complex only selling for RM230

since u r using bg80, would like to get some advice from u regarding the string?

how do u feel about the string in term of
1. control
2.smashing
3. tension durability

thanks

in that case, i think u might need to consider either the nano or artomec series

if u really wanna string such high tension, the choices limited to yonex high end series like nano9000, nano8000, armotec 800(OF&DF), armotec 700, Muscle power 100, muscle power 99 or ti-10. the reason i said so is because these rackets are either previously or currently being used by those international players like lin dan, lee chong wei, taufik ....etc. and their racket are usually string at high tension. hence the rackets that they are using are indirectly being proven that can support high tension.

however, it is quite impossible to compare with them, level of skill is a reason, another reason is financial factors. they are suponsored by yonex, unlike us, when we clashed our rackets when playing doubles, we need to use our own money to replace a new one.

1 thing need to remind u, that is as far as i know, the higher tension u string ur racket, the higher chances of ur racket frame will damage when clashed with others racket.

just my personal opinion bout racket stringing.

do u minf state which model of racket that u refering?

i might be able to help u to check it out whether it is head heavy or light

hahaha....u know my choice...

yeah, i think Protech Master Piece is more durable if compared with RSL and sealion. last time i bought in pertama complex, it costs RM44 per dozen. but when i went pertama complex on last weekend, they seem to be run out of stock of the ptrotech master piece.

i think carbonex 21SP should perform better then 21 special.

currently using Bg80, with tension 25lbs.....not bad.....quite powerful and good control as well....

last time i used to string with bg68ti, it is good in term of control but when comes to hard hitting, like smashing, i feel it a little lack of power. dont know why, maybe my arm is not strong enough.

been using bg80 for 3 weeks, so far so good, still good in control, and in term of power, definately better than bg68ti.

durability, cant give comment on bg80 as only use it for 3 weeks++, but for bg68ti, i think it is better than bg66 as it is thicker than bg66.

stift is refered to the flexibility of the shaft of the racket

the stifter the racket, meaning the hard for u to bend the racket.

like what bufung mentioned earlier, most top internatial players use either stift or extra stift racket.

u can refer to the yonex website and u will notice, the highend racket of each series, like Ti-10, MP99, MP100, Artmotec 700, Armotec 800, Nanospeed 9000, are either stift or extra stift racket.
