    Hey all, as title states looking for some light 5U racket recommendations under $100 usd. This is for my kids, both under 10 as I think it would be a lot easier for them compared to using my 3U rackets.... plus I'm a bit worried they'll break mine.

    the 7400 is the head heaviest racquet I've ever tried. Not even but at it's overall weight, it doesn't matter.

    Ashaway SQ99 sounds like a good racket for you.

    ya, i've seen the arcsaber FD and while at the upper range of my budget i may go with it. I only have easy access to yonex, victor and li-ning.

    Thought Ashaway would be quite easy for you to get. Are you in the USA?

    That's a shame as they are pretty good rackets. Sorry I couldn't recommend anything in the spec you are after. The Ashaway I suggesteed id better than the Yonex FB imho.

    Hi, have you chosen a racket yet? I've been checking out 5u rackets as well, I recently found a Voltric 3 Lin Dan. Nothing on the forum about it, and I haven't tried it yet. But it's a voltric, it's affordable, and it's 5u.
