My new toy

RSL Laser 9900, Ashaway Zymax 67 @ 26lbs, Karakal PU Super Grip








The free bag (2 main compartment, 1 small compartment, backpack shoulder strap)










..and a complimentary RSL sticker

bought asics gel rocket(black colour).... fit it together with tuli's gel pad....
so far so good after 3 sessions with this combo.... but still feel kinda weird of the height of the shoes together with this gel pad.... but anyway it's heel friendly for me.... hehehehe

the sticker for wat one?

After 2 weeks of struggling no internet, and stupid TM customer service for not sending technician, I did some internal wiring and voila, internet came back.

Damn, few of you gotten new toys huh =)

My friend just bought Apacs Nano 9900, the racket maneuvers quite fast while smashing is good too. A good buy for RM100 racket.

Well, I bought a new toy too recently *wink*

i oso duno..
it came together with the racket, not bag

hi I just would like to ask about Li-Ning racket. is it good ? i'm thinking of buying Li-Ning N5. is there any non-original of this product out there? scared get con... thnx.

is this brand good ?

LN is good but is there such model as N5? or you mean N55 or N50?

ops sorry. i mean N55. btw can u guys make a decision for me. im still newbie in badminton.I dont have strong hand. which of the model allow me to return good long backhand yet able to control the shuttle.

the LN racket is claim able to tension up to 30lbs. does it mean high tension is good?. now im using 25lbs only...

im considering n90 wood also..

30lbs is the limit where factory/supplier is providing warranty
logically, the higher tension it can withstand, the better the material is used although this might not be suitable for some cases
LN's quality should be ok

to get more power, a flexible shaft is suitable
anyway, before buying a new racket, you can try lowering your tension to 24 or 23lbs
might give you more power
too low tension is not good either

control would come when you're used to the racket you're using and have better technique

just my 2 cents opinion

o0o0o.. i thought setting higher tension will give more power(smash) rather than low tension. . so basicly we dont need high capability tension racket for good smash ? so i should hunt a flexible shaft ? am I correct?

which one is better wood or carbon in term flexible ?

thnkx bro ziggy

beside of the equipment factor, ur skill, right posture and timing to hit the shuttle no matter is forehand or backhand is the major factor.
most of the social player, they have very good forehand return, lift, smash, etc etc but a descent return on backhand.

higher tension will give you more control
lower tension gives more power because of the trampoline effect
the situation is like you jumping on a spring bed and jumping from floor
definitely jumping on spring bed can make you jump higher

that's the very basic idea
of course there're more theories for this issue

if i'm were you, i wont get such an expensive racket first
make sure you know your playing style well and know the type of racket that suits you the most first

answering your question, N50/N55 is medium flex and N90 is stiff

Higher tension will give u more power to smash in theory is correct(If you have the power to handle the tension, if not it is vise verse), the most important thing is whether you are able to handle the tension, usually when i tight 28lbs and above, all back hand almost become shit, so if i run not fast enough, obviously habis!! i guess you should find the tension you can handle, definitely high tension will be good and most of the international player is very very high tension, but make sure ur wrist can support.

this sifu is correct too

another thing to provide more power is to find a head heavy racket
or those racket with high swing speed
