Jp is a better quality racket it is just the same. You should get the Arc (white) because it is the newer version, and looks nicer but only comes in SP
I saying the JP version is a better quality racket The Arc7 (white) is better looking then the old version.
The difference is the JP is imported and well, you know everything in Japan is expensive (well almost everything). But they also have the highest demands in product quality/standard so possibly the best of the best (in paint finish?) are picked from the production line for the Japanese market. And the white does look better ... but available in Europe as well. Tour = Yonex Armortec Tour (= 600 in a special jacket) http://www.prosportuk.com/badminton...74/yonex_armortec_tour_badminton_rackets.html Some more pictures here: http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages...,366177155&formats=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0&format=0 This model, 600/Tour, has been discontinued since 2011 so has to be on sale somewhere (as in the prosport link). Making way for the Voltric series ...
wait the new arc 7 2011 only comes in SP? i dont think thats true.... EDIT: ahhh i see what you mean. at mybadmintonstore.com only SP/IP is available lol also, i heard JP is just better in quality overall, not just paint quality. but someone please correct me if im wrong.
I guess it depends on where you want to buy and what's available there (and there is no reason to "wait" untill the JP version is in stock if that store is an option; the owner is also a member here btw) Yonex NanoSpeed 7700 is another option if you consider buying online from Asia. Also here is a whole list of stores worldwide (not necessarily up to date for each region ) http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-(Post-links-ONCE-only.-No-discussions-please)
That Victor BraveSword 12 might be something as well. Or anything around the horizontal axis with medium flex rating, like NS5500 (but haven't seen anyone review it yet, nor is it available here). Ratings on websites also aren't always 100% accurate: Also here is an easy to navigate and easy to read review site: http://badminton-coach.co.uk/category/badminton-equipment/yonex-arcsaber/
I have one small Question. When I buy a Yonex racket and it is stringed already. How hard is it usually stringed? (Tension)
Have not found a shop online in sweden that are selling Victor. The standard seems to be Babolat Carlton FZ Forza Head Prince ProKennex Wilson Yonex
I think around 9KG. Forza, Head, Carlton and perhaps the latest Wilson's also have good/decent rackets. Found two very cheap on badmintonsiden.dk yesterday but stiffer than you are looking for particularly the 2nd: http://badmintonsiden.dk/product_info/cpath_7_18_19/products_id_51.htm http://badmintonsiden.dk/product_info/cpath_7_18_19/products_id_52.htm Maybe this is better suited: http://badmintonsiden.dk/product_info/cpath_7_18_19/products_id_48.htm And they also have some cheap HEAD models I see. The 7000 and 8000 also an option, perhaps the 7000 best suited ...
Oww.. That was a really old post from me. 2011 I think. 8-9 years go really fast I have probably bought around 10 rackets since then. Racketspecialisten have not had victor until lately. (There is where I used to buy rackets when I made my post) Lately I have started to buy from badmintonshoppen.se Both stores are really good. More options on string selection when buying a new racket from badmintonshoppen. (and also to a very good price)
Oops! Sorry...hahaha don’t know how that happend. Must have entered your profile and totally ignored the date.
