Cerano 1st Gear May 6, 2010 Share May 6, 2010 From what i understand most yonex rkts are made in china. they then send back to japan for tagging. In the market some people are selling the untagged version for much less than the original price. hmm... the high end ones not china... all japan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picanto 3rd Gear May 6, 2010 Share May 6, 2010 i think even the china national players prefer their rackets to be made in japan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kkwm83 Neutral Newbie May 7, 2010 Share May 7, 2010 Ok, for Yonex, I was aiming for entry level Nanospeed 4500, 500 or 300. Alternatively, Aromtec 70 Mega G2. Too bad, many brands displayed in Jusco but only found Carbonex 7000DF, which is one of my choices. In the end after comparing 7000DF and Star 1, I ended up with the entry level Carbonex Star 1 at about S$33. This is far from my original budget of S$80 . Should be good enough for a casual player like me. Thank you all. Regards, If you are looking for Yonex lower end racket that suits ur style of play... recommend you go for the Nanospeed series... even balanced and faster swinging speed compare to the Armortec series.... stiffer shaft givs u more powerful shots but requires higher strength... heavier head provides u harder smashes and betta back court clearance, but givs a bit disadvantage during fast xchange... lower end Nanospeeds you hv NS80, 100, 200, 300, 500, 800, 850.... the latest one is NS850... what i recommend here is to go for the NS500, 800 or 850... for other series... u might wanna get Carbonex 21 Special... it has very good reviews from both forumers and players ard me... besides Yonex, if you are looking for good rackets in the range of RM100+, can try Apacs, Fleet or ProAce... they do hv quite decent low end rackets as well... apart of those clones la... the best way to determine which racket is suitable to u is to go down to the shop and hv a swing on it... for the tension of ur string... you might wanna consider between 22~24lbs... anything above 24 might be tough for your case...

L3arning Neutral Newbie October 10, 2010 Share October 10, 2010 It's not so much the racket, but more of the skills of the individual holding the racket. But if you are looking for a relatively good racket for a competitive price, drop me a pm or email. =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanChua_215553 Neutral Newbie November 23, 2018 Share November 23, 2018 I thought the wrist would be the area most affected. Yes especially when u smack and try to retrieve the racket in a very short time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why pro don't use the sponsor brand lowest grade racket leh? I would say, given the same budget, most brands are the same, just personal preference. anyone has decent shops at queensway to recommend? too many shops.... scared kenah carrot head or fake rackets It is ery competitive, so difference marginal. You may get better string and other goodies if you bargain. For yonex, online is cheaper from my experience. Most important is, don't get a fake.

I would say, given the same budget, most brands are the same, just personal preference. Pro can't use the lowest grade racket. Confirm break after a few smash. Unlike mortal being.

Victor68 Turbocharged November 24, 2018 Share November 24, 2018 I am just trying to explain most brands have the normal to high end rackets.given today technology, the difference is not that big. As a pro, you just need to adjust but you do see them select the preferred racket among the same brand and model too. Quite obvious, if they use an average model, they will be disavantage against another player of the sa.e skill with a better racket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite obvious, if they use an average model, they will be disavantage against another player of the sa.e skill with a better racket. The difference is big. The Yonex racket used by Lin Dan can use higher strength string as well as string at higher strength. Get Lin Dan low end Yonex racket and i can assure you that he will broke the shaft after 10 smashes. On the other hand, it will make difference to us mere mortal as we can't smash like Lin Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
