  • In my school days I used the CARBONEX series and was an attacking player centered on smashes, but after a long break and with age, I now often enjoy relaxed doubles games. When I decided to take badminton seriously again, I really struggled with choosing a racket. There are so many kinds! I'd stopped playing power badminton and was thinking the CARBONEX 50 was too much for me when I saw that an acquaintance's racket was this one. I tried it and found that it's well balanced with good swing speed, the shaft isn't too stiff and has moderate flex and resilience, and on receives the shuttle easily goes back deep and is easy to control to where I aim, so I decided to buy it. I've been using it for over 2 years now, and even when I'm pushed by fast shots, if I set the racket face properly and hit back, the return dips nicely, and the swing speed is good so I can handle drives and pushes well too. There are no flaws, but if I had to say something, the sweet spot feels just a little small on smashes, and when you miss it the smash comes out weak, I guess. I now have two and use them as my main rackets. Recommended for control players!
