    Hi Guys n Girls

    PLEASE HELP

    ok - ivve got a Wilson Quad thing thta is terriable, which im using temp cause my old racket broke :(

    Ive been asking around, and it seems Carlton Airblades and Yonnex are the best, true?

    I like head light racquets, and no more than 89 grams and dont want to spend a complete fortune.

    Ive heard good things about Muscle 77 (Yonnex) and Carlton Airblade ASI
    Also had a look at Carlton Airbliade Lite, Yonnex ISO Ti5 Light.

    Some people say all Carltons are Head Heavy, true?

    What to you guys think, my dicision is in your hands, PLEASE HELP!

    Thanks

    What is wrong with you. Teh best carlton Rackets are under 90gms. If u want a light racket but powerful one then Pls buy the AB 2000.

    I have played with it and trusted it so much.

    I hope this helps!

    The MP77 is definitely not head light. Neither is the AS1. Both are excellent racquets but also quite costly.

    The Carlton Aerogear 1000FX and the Airblade 1000 are both head light racquets which I used to use, but unfortunately they are out of production. The Carlton Signature Ti (Yong Hock Kin) is still available -- it's very light AND head light. Or you might want to check out a Danish brand called Forza. They have several models that are head light. I now use the Forza Ti Tech 1100.

    Good luck!

    Mag,

    I think Teh As1 is def lighter on its head than the AB 2000, As ti and The AB 900!

    I am very sure that AS 1 is The best Doubles defensive racket out there!

    I ma sorry but i have to strongly disagree to ur view mate!

    Well, ANY racquet would be more head light than the AB 900, so no point in arguing about that! ;) In any case, the AS1 is not a cheap racquet if that was what Matt was looking for.

    Hang on a sec here guys!

    Ive just managed to get a Carlton ASI for £55 which is a steal of a price (usally £110) but i ve got 14 days to cancel if wish

    Im not too worried about the money side of things

    Is this good racket, or pants?
