My previous racket was nano speed 9000 with a tension of 24......

nindut xa ang tension nga 24 nahan ko niya......I've tried using ang mas taas nga tension pero murag nisakit akong abaga kay ako feeling hinay kaayu akong smash.....

they said it all.

Higher tension mean more control but heavy on your arms/shoulders. Just experiment and feel what's the right tension for you.

For rackets, there are two variants: Even Balance and Head/Top Heavy. Even balance is usually for defense while Top or Head for offensive player. But dont take this as absolute since you can also attack forcefully even though you have an even balance racket. What I mean is that you can smash harder with the top heavy racket than an even balance one. Discover your type of play and get the racket that would compliment it.

For me i'd get both type. Wala lang. Ganahan lang. Bitaw, there are times that you one would like to use one racket over the other in a certain game.

--- no flaming on my info ha... i say again type of racket is not absolute. It's the manufacturer that specify the intended user of their rackets.

@baju83 - I agree Yonex is a good racket and quality sad ug presyo. Thanks!

Anyone there who tried the Prince Y-Joint frame? I've seen models now at 1,700pesos in Toby's. How is it?

Now I saw one racket (can't remember brand) that claimed that it has the largest sweet spot ? Anybody care to elaborate and rate a racket like that?

In badminton, its 50% skills 50% equipments! To-o nalang m para madali. I got Prince, Yonex and Carlton rakets. it really depends on you kung asa ka hiyang ba. My Prince raket has a tension of 26, Yonex - tension 25 titanium BG65, Carlton - tension 26 too. In my 3 years of playing badminton, i love using my Prince raket. try it!

Salamat rick! There maybe some people who might disagree coz they say it is more skill than the equipment.

Nakabasa pud sad ako nga ang shoes is a personal equipment factor usually ignored but plays a role. Aside pa ana, the court- your environment tests your stamina.

Pero given your review, i'm thinking of getting a Prince soon..... :mrgreen: Thanks, man!

I will also check Southpoint of their open tourney.....[br]Posted on: March 07, 2007, 12:42:24 PM_________________________________________________

Y-joint in Chris Ayala is buy 1 take 1 (not 1.7k as i previously posted, about 4k)..... makes me doubt if I should get it but they said they are just moving these inventory to make way for new models.....
The "large sweet spot" racket is also a Prince about 7.5k that they claim to be the new Prince models coming.....
Chris Ayala is moving out its inventory of
