    well to be honest... i dont think there is such thing as "female" racquets, it's either she feels comfortable playing with it or not, like professionals use all kinds of racquets that suit their styles and feeling so :rolleyes: it's kind of hard to say what racquet is for female?

    nevermind, everyone starts coming to post.......
    maybe this will be the reference for a female that looking for a racket.
    so far, Arc Saber 9 is specially designed with woman plays in mind.

    btw, is there any female looking for male badminton player....?

    i heard the Babolat Booster lite is designed for women as well...
    It's got a flexible shaft, weighs at only 87g (strung) and is medium/head light balanced.
    It also looks very girly - sky blue/silver design. But looks pretty cool though.
    £50.99 from Millet sports.

    But i agree there is no gender orientated racket. As long as you feel "connected" to the racket, then it's absolutely fine.

    Well, I saw some high-school female player using MP 99 and another using MP 100, and apparently they are sisters. Unimaginable double-attack-combo they produce...

    LoL...... I'd certainly say the arcsaber9 is no MALE racket..... especially the pink color and all the 'hearts' on it. :p

    but yeh, there's no real male or female rackets out there. just that I think a lot of females are more suited/prefer flex/med. flex rackets, since their lack of power. as on tour, NS7700/9000S, Armortec 800def/900T, arcsaber7/9 are used by many female palyers. or even lighter versions (2U as stated above) of certain rackets.

    good luck finding racket.:)

    hahah... true true. I have a few friends that like the arc9 but scared to 'attract attention' :p.

    also, I meant to say lighter versions as in 4U, not 2U (heavier) as stated above. my bad :D

    Arc9 would be a good choice..shaft if flexible.. especially after 7 years u might not be able to swing fast&strong...

    btw.. to hit hard.. its all about the speed/strength/motion/time of strike - a sudden impact like using a whip..
    its not bout how strong u r..if u do not know how to utilised it..u r just hitting blindly. XD

    btw. the some gals at my club hits VERY hard even better than lots of the men.. but if a men arm wrestling with them, they can easily be defeated.. lol...

    Agreed xD... "Muscular" Ladies should be able to use any of them. Didn't say the "non-muscular" should use the 9 though xD... The main point is find a racket that suits us better xD.

    Yonex Advisory Staff

    You can see Zhang Ning used Arc10 not 9 xD...

    BTW... this is 7yrs old thread xD... Is this becoming an open discussion for ladies rackuetz xD?

    Yea... I buy my racket bcoz I love it xD... Thoze advisory are nothin but a "Marketing Team" lolz... But since they're a badminton player too, I believe they are better at whipping (sounds like torturing :D)... and Better in speed, maneuver, etc...

    They might still be able to be used as an example xD... They're still picky at least lol...

    You can try out a racket from KX International which is specifically designed for Lady player. The model is KX 727L (Lady).
    The racket is basically light weight (about 82g) and very flexible.
    The price is also quite reasonable.
