    Hi all,

    Let us share which racket that you have or used, that possess that special/unique feeling no other rackets can offer. Do tell us your racket model and strung with which string and tension that produces your most memorable racket combination.

    If possible, do try to describe the unique feeling that you felt, though it might not be easy.. Haha. Cheers

    Let me start off.. The racket that gives me this feeling is Victor MX JJS, strung with NBG98 at 27lbs. It feels really lively and repulsive. The best feeling I have so far..

    VTZF II 4U5, strung with BG 68Ti @ 24/26 lbs. Adding a very thick grip or two thin ones to match my palm size and things go great. Control is sightly lacking compare to Arc 11 because of the weight change (I used to use head light rackets), yet there is no other complain :D

    Let me try to do it the other way. To me, it's the Bravesword 11, 4U, BG85, 26x28lbs. It's a heavy 4U, stiff, and I don't like the dry swing/feel of it. But I win most games with it ..... -___- !

    MX80 3UG2 strung using BG85 @ 27lbs which has served me very well. It gives me solid feel, good accuracy for my placement & trick shots, very good control, very easy to maneuver for fast double game as well as good power for smashing.Recently I discovered Arsaber 8dx 3UG5 using BG85 @28lbs which has a similar solid feel and other attributes like my MX80 but slightly heavier at the shaft which give me more power.Both are great for power, control and speed !! Attack or defense is so wonderful with them !! I Love Them very much !!

    Victor MX80 with BG 70Pro @ 11kg.It's the first racket I've ordered multiple of.The reason I like it is the bouncy feeling it gives. I don't know anything else that comes close.But despite it's bounciness, it retains its stiffness for net play (my best play) and general accuracy.Had to get used to the weight (having come from a lighter racket), but even if I get the racket to the shot pretty late, the stiffness means it's able to scrape the shuttle over the net (even if it's not very clean).All in all, a racket that bolsters my weaknesses without affecting my strengths very much.
