November 20, 2009

Last night, I visited a badminton club in Widnes, after receiving an invitation from one of the players. The player found me through Yonex UK website and I took the Yonex range of racquets for the players to test.
I also agreed to provide coaching on the night.

Arcsaber Z Slash Badminton Racquet Review

November 5, 2009

There’s been a tremendous amount of traffic on the forums about this racquet. I can’t remember a time when a new racquet was so eagerly awaited.

More On Incorrect Shuttle Speeds – It’s Becoming A Hot Topic!

October 23, 2009

I played a match last Wednesday. For the first time the club used the correct speed shuttles. Guess what happened?

Yonex Nanospeed 200 Badminton Racquet Review

August 19, 2009

Having recently tested the Nanospeed 100, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next racquet in the range to see what this can deliver.

Out of the [...]

Yonex Nanospeed 100 Badminton Racquet Review

August 17, 2009

The Nanospeed series are head-light racquets developed to increase racquet head speed, which can increase power and yet still be lightning fast around the net and in defensive situations. Do they live up to the hype?
Introducing the Yonex Nanospeed 100, a good looking racquet in silver, purple and black graphics. An alternative colour scheme with [...]

Yonex Armortec 70MG Badminton Racquet Review

August 13, 2009

This my last review of Armortec series racquets from the selection of top-of-the-range and newly introduced in 2009.
Not that it matters much, but why Yonex chose to name this different to the rest of range is a mystery.
On with the review. Out of the bag, yet again this is a striking racquet in red, yellow [...]
