guys, I'll be getting some rackets with my friends quite soon. But need to ask some details about the rackets and strings.
1) Some rackets are medium flex and others are stiff...what's the difference? 2) Can someone tell me the difference between head heavy - slight head heavy - even balance? 3) Rackets have limited tension xxlbs...higher tension means more powerful smashes? |

QUOTE(mizivincible @ Mar 28 2010, 05:25 PM) Its obvious that we ask where do you stay, no point asking you to go KL or PJ if you are staying in Sabah or Penang. or buy a normal sports shorts and use old t-shirt Btw since ur from this area too, you can check out Pertama Complex Perfectsports, Etakoh or Racket World, AJ Puchong, MBA Puchong, Chiang Siah Store Bangsar, SP Ah Lee Bangsar, KLCT Cheras, Hock Eng Bangi. Yonex shirts usually from rm30 (older version) and rm49 above for latest. RM30 above for pants. Other brands such as apacs, fleet, pronex, protech, from RM25 and above for shirts and pants. |

guys, Apacs vs TSS vs Yonex racket...which is better? Let's assume we're taking similar price range rackets (RM100) to compare.

anyonye here using the old Yonex Carbonex 8sp and 10sp. Can't find the details of it online...head heavy/even balance...etc.
Added on April 6, 2010, 4:23 pm QUOTE(ziggy87 @ Feb 17 2010, 11:17 AM) finally obtained the photos.. hey, this happened to my father's racket too. Something Killer...probably Yonex. I thought something heavy dropped on it. Wow...tension was the cause?what you guys think? mishit BG66@26lbs can cause this? no clashes before [attachmentid=1446594] [attachmentid=1446595] [attachmentid=1446599] This post has been edited by Aeon_Clock: Apr 6 2010, 04:23 PM |

so I just string it at max tension? For Yonex Nanospeed 500.
would it make any difference to string at 27lbs if max is 28lbs? This post has been edited by Aeon_Clock: Apr 8 2010, 08:43 PM |

well, this is actually a b'day gift for my dad. I don't know what is his fav tension and its meant to be a surprise. I guess I'll let him string it on his own.

I asked enough already about the stiffness and his preferred racket (even balance or head heavy)
I do play badminton but I use one of my dad's racket all this while - Yonex Carbonex x8SP and x10SP. Getting an Apac EdgeSaber 9 Gold or 10 soon. Is this racket good? Or Apac Nano 9900 better?This post has been edited by Aeon_Clock: Apr 9 2010, 10:18 AM |

no idea. Probably an easy racket similar to Carbonex x8SP. I don't have a good smash or hard swing. I tend to play with the Carbonex x8SP holding the grip at the very edge. Only then will I feel some power in my hits.

it feels light to me. Yes it is old but its seriously though. The Yonex Carbonex range always has been durable.

QUOTE(jasondotcom @ Apr 10 2010, 11:27 AM) NanoArmor 900 II what happened? Did you hit any other racket?My fav. racket which i played with for 2 years before it slowly collapsed structurally.... Last strung at 23lbs with Yonex BG66 before it collapsed. RIP. HEARTBREAK.  hahaha I just got my hands on Apacs EdgeSaber 10. Somehow it feels better than the Nano 9900. Gonna string this at 24lbs for more power. |
