I love the handling so much I just couldn't imagine I would ever want to switch. So I bought a bunch in hopes i'll have enough spares for a decade or two. In fact three of them have already reached end of life. I usually have 3 strung at a time, sometimes when going on a tounament even 5 just to be safe. Currently running Victor VBS-68 at 25/27.5lbs.
My All-Time Favourite Racket since August 2021: Carbonex 20 Tour Special (after 10 years of switching many-many rackets!) I think it's safe to say that finally I've found "The One and Only" (well not really "one and only" because I bought several/tons of them!) Happy Badminton!
Recently started playing badminton again after 30+ years. Currently using these 2 fairly flexible shaft rackets. 1) The 3rd Game Pranja (white) 2) Yonex Astrox Lite 27i (blue)
I've been playing badminton since 2001, mostly using my dads racket. My first racket that i bought with my own money is 3U Astrox 77, but i sold it. And once, i had AX88DP, but i realize astrox series is not for me so i gave it to my brother. So i have 5 racket left in my hand which is 2 pcs of 3U Arcsaber 11, 1 pc of 4U arcsaber 11 and 2 pcs of NF700 4u.
Congrats on being able to find your ‘one and only’ and that many as well. You’ll at least be able to keep one as a collector’s piece, one to play with and the remainder as back-ups.
Thank you, Sir. Yes now I always bring 3 pcs of the racket in my training: 2 rackets with 26-27 lbs, and 1 racket with 24 lbs. The rest of them I kept it for my collections or backups. I think now I'm even enjoying badminton exercise/session/game more than ever! Now I'm planning to get rid of my nagging slight injuries/discomfort (shoulder and elbow), since I just returned playing badminton for the last 6 months after 5 years of hiatus, and it's been quite an intense period of badminton (but of course very fun!)... Also, since I'm using a 2U racket with 26-27 lbs tension may have slight contribution as well to my injury. Perhaps I'll rest my body for around 1 month in April 2022 (at the latest) and then comeback again with a proper core, shoulder, and elbow exercise to prevent future injury (this part of exercise and proper warm up are the one that I've been underestimate the most, because I never experience such injury before. Thankfully now there are tons of tutorials in youtube about examples of important core exercise and warm up for badminton). Happy Badminton Everyone!

thanks a lot! I see you also have the z-slash and the taufik edition too. Massive high five for that, mate.
that would be the ArcZslash BP version. BP versions are limited paintjobs released only in Japan. Almost all highend rackets have BP versions.
Hello this is my first post, and what better way to start than with a post about what I use. I just started playing again after a 15 year hiatus. Bought a 4U Z-force II, and a 4U Astrox 88D Pro, but sold both because the Z Force just felt sluggish, and the 88D Pro felt hollow when I hit with it. Now my mains are the Astrox 100zzs. The Fortiuses are for late in session when I'm a bit more fatigued, and the 9000C is the I-bought-it-because-it-looks-pretty racket.
If I were to attach a photo of an old Dunlop racket ( 1990 ish ) would anybody be able to identify the model?
