sp21 is great... very fast racket....  i had tried bs09 and i didnt like it.... the whole session today just using it.... love the nbg98 as well..... all my yonexs are kept in the bag ....

thx for ur info . i google about kickpoint, but dont really understand... high kick point= can generate more power ?? and i also google pivot point and sweet point... a bit blur la. sweet point = the best spot on string when shuttle contact it?? to be honest, compare to my friend's racquet, my racquet really light. and i need to use VERY huge amount of energy to to clear from my baseline to opponent baseline. i'm using bg 65. izzit string also 1 of the factor it lack of power?? been using this racquet for like more than 6 years...

It is more of a matter of preference IMO. I still prefer rougher strings like BG80 which is better for netplay as it kind of 'grabs' to the birdie when doing tumbling netshots. Currently using ZM67 but it is kind of not as good as BG80 at the same tension. In badmintoncentral, there's a talk about ZM67 being somewhat a little different compared to ZM62 and ZM70.

Sound IMO does affect some what of performance. My understanding is that if you can hear the BOOMING at least you know you are hitting dead on the sweet spot. It gives somewhat of a 'confirmation' that you have hit the birdie correctly.

Usually head heavy is good for smach,but in term of control i would prefer lighter racquet to play net game 

we play with 2 hand right for smash and left for net play 

juz wanna ask ur opinion, is it right to say that only advanced and expert players with stronger wrist can control the shuttle very well even with a heavy racket? sorry i just beginner so wanna learn a bit from here 

is it true that bg80 string is nicer with high tension@25lbs+ ?
i want to try this string

bg80 users , what tension is the best??

what's your playing style?
try search for apacs rackets

Kawasaki racket are make from China.In term Technology they say are from Japan but in the end all using Technology from china.

Last 5 year this brand already bankrupt at SG by 1 of the distributor and now malaysia here 1 of the company try to bring up again this brand.

Is a company found at China Shenzhen one at 2002, but try to use the Kawasaki name to [con/mislead] people, hoho. . .

3U net weight of racket is 85-89gm*
4U net weight of racket is 82-84gm*
5U net weight of racket is 78-81gm*              (* approx)

add the string (3-5gm) & grip (2-8gm), you do the math.

General, 4U is user-friendly. 3U is little demand unless  arm&wrist power are born within

Tension wise, you could scroll back page(s) to get some idea. Ziggy the Guru wrote some Facts there.

Ziggy: No worry, this time I pass my chair for you 

alamak dude..don't always put me on table la wei! me not guru la..>.<
the Guru is arc1414..NOT ziggy87
2u T200? what a beast
pity the birdie lolz

somehow 1 of my friend like it coz it's heavy XD (a girl somemore)

Hi guys, can recommend me a badminton shoes below rm100 looking for a shop in subang. I saw one nike shoes on sale for rm100 in bata but dunno good or not.

I'm just casual player only, started 3 months ago and play once or twice a week. Currently using cap ayam shoes to play. It is quite worn oredi. Thanks

attack style
should be below 400 like that..
mark few for wilson d...but i thk my budget cant get me a good li-ning brand racket

your skill is beyond godlike mode ma..
sure can one 

i have a apacs clone..quite good. strung with 28lbs, tahan till now.
smash kaw kaw oso haven break. no clash though.

if 5u, power is sacrificed. but can choose to get a head heavy model to add a bit power back.
hmm lethal 9. haven seen the specs. not sure yet.
since you have an injured elbow, a medium flex racket will serve you better..i think

the lower the flex number, the stiffer the shaft is.

flex 9.0-9.5 should be medium flex
i notice most of the apacs racket have the balance of 285..except some high end lethals which have 290 bp

do you guys know what is the brand of this shuttlecock? I found it at the badminton court and tried it... it's quite good despite some parts of the feather has fallen off but the flight is still good. i know it's some china brand. I tried searching the brand's logo image but can't find any particular brand that has that type of logo. I can't read Chinese too so not sure what the Chinese words means.

Thanks very much for you help Omage007. Well,I havent played for quite sometime. Only since 2 weeks back, i started playing again with the gf. We are recreational players. Still looking for shuttlecock below RM 40. I bought osone powerline, priced at RM26 and it is too light, we didnt like the feeling at all. I have used sea lion C1101 too, which is quite good but too expensive for us. And lastly, i tried victor champion no.3, but didnt really like the feeling of it too.It is slightly heavier than the powerline but still lighter than Sealion C1011. This morning, i found this particular shuttlecock (the one in the pic) at the court, with some part of the feathers has fallen off. But the flight of the shuttlecock is still good regardless of its condition. The feeling of hitting it is almost the same as Sealion C1101 but the only downside is, if compared to Sealion, it is definitely less durable cause the feathers comes off easily after smashing it repeatedly. But since you said it is cheap, i might give this shuttlecock a try, if it's possible to find it in PJ that is. Or do you have any other recommendation of other shuttlecocks in the range of below RM40 and not too light. In terms of durability, I dont mind sacrificing that knowing i'm gonna get something below RM40. I dont expect much on durability.

Will note but does it fit my budget?

I dun think so...u can search for yonex Armortech defend series or nanospeed..

Li-Ning N50 cost Rm1000..

u got N50 for Rm1000? got sembelih like hari raya qurban

YY AT/NS series wont fit the Rm100 budget too

sifu Omage did a very good recommendation. EdgeSabers or Nano series

Thinking of getting a EdgeSaber Z Slayer or NanoPower 7000.

Questions about the string tension thou. A higher string tension generates more power?

Hahaha..ok..tis racquet really goods for double player,i use bg 80 wit 29 pounds,very syok..haha..head quite heavy..

Tis racket is made in taiwan..handle quite big,mayb cant handle for high tension..bt it for me quite good..nt so heavy.

i'm comparing the flex scale on BS10s that i found on the internet.
BS10's flex is near the mid point while ATT99 is nearer to the "Stiff" point
it definitely can handle that tension
