Hi justbecos, I manage to test out at600 today and yes i am very amaze by the smashing and controlling of this racket! This will make my skill to improve alot more..thanks alot for the recommendation!
I manage to buy another racket that is Wilson n600 as a spare not yet tried but below are the specs: Level: Intermediate Type: All-Around / Offensive Flex: Medium Stiff Head: Square / Isometric Weight: 85gm B.Pt: 6 (Even Balance toward Head Heavy) =============== Head: nCoded Hyper Carbon, nCoded Graphite Shaft: nCoded Hyper Carbon, nCoded Graphite
Yonex Ti-10 is a popular racket and most shop owners would know. You could look for Michelle @ Paragon (2nd floor of QWSS) Victor could be found at QWSS's Gala and Chiau Beng (2nd floor), but I prefer to get from Victor AMK store. Most of the intermediate ladies I know, knows their badminton stuff very well. It's time to improve your knowledge. Based on your replies, I believe you are an early-stage intermediate player, hence it's better that you find a racket which is head-heavy, 4U, higher balance point, lower-tension repulsive strings (NG-98), mid-to-flex shaft and a good tacky grip. While money isn't an issue, you should try Yonex Muscle Power / MP series. I think that right now in your game, you are hitting most of your shots well and need to add a little punch to deliver the winner. If you really wish to, try AT900P/AT700/N90/N55/BS10/BS11, which are all competition-level rackets (of course, it would be nice if it's a JP code for Yonex).
excuse me petertan_sg i recently been to singapore and i looked at a few shop in imm the Li Ning n90 was like $499.99 do you think it is cheaper at queensways
Just in case, choosing the right racket is an art and each environment will need its own racket. During days when my wrist feels good, I use BS09/BG80@26 for outdoor. When my wrist feels tired, I use APACS Tantrum Infinity Light/BG-66@30 for outdoor. And when playing indoor, I usually use Ti-3/BG68ti@25. Here's what I feel for intermediate or below players playingindoor using feathers. For attacking players, use a head-heavy racket with lower-tension thicker string. For defensive or control players, use a head-light or balanced racket with higher-tension thinner strings. * All based on commonly found 3U rackets, with mid-flex shafts. Shuttles are right flight speed. My definition of: Heavy-Heavy > 285 balance point (BP) and above Tension Point > 24 lbs Strings > Thin strings are those below 0.68. Thick strings are those 0.68 & abv. If plastic shuttles (the Mavis shuttles) are used, it's possible to use 4U or 5U rackets.
Yep. Go to QWSS and shop around. Remember to bargain. Usually you get a better price, probably with strings included (stringing too), grip and probably a simple racket bag.
i know about queensway i love shopping there i might be a young badminton player u16s do you think this was a good deal getting the arc zs for $225 with strings,grip and bag ?
hi tze en, u playing at YOG? $225 sounds ok. btw, have you seen Taufik's edition? http://www.yonex.com/wbp/taufik/pro_c.html It's about $450 at Sportslife @ Far East Plaza.
No i live and was born in England Yes i have and now i want that model so badly but i want it. its not a need because i have a z-s but i don't need to pay another $125 because it is signed and in a different colour if it is light and better i will think about it but not right now first i need to train a lot more
yes, i did watch singapore super series and saw yao lei and shinta won. nice game. i couldn't muster zs hence i went on and use bs9.
