Also I think getting a racket from carlton or ashaway might be better for you because you just got back to badminton there is not much point spending 160 pound buying voltric80. Obvs get it if you like it but not because famous player uses it or it is popular. Demo might be good for you.

A quick look at the Yonex racquets shows about 6 ranges with the largest range having 12 racquets! Surely there cannot be that much difference between racquet no1 and no2 or no2 and no3 etc. to warrant 12 racquets in a range? 

Therefore i'm just seeing if you guys can help me narrow it down a bit to a few racquets that i could try, not any specific one that i should buy as going through over 50 racquets is gonna be impossible. 

 

 

Have a look at my recent experiences with a Voltric 9 that hurts me and a Voltric 7 that doesn't. Small differences in spec can make a big difference in use. The permutations even within one single range, Voltric for example, can be a pain but they aren't all pointless. Differences in how heavy the racquets are, how head heavy they are and how stiff the shafts are add up to quite a few permutations. Then you get the differences between the range depending on the place of manufacture and the exact tech features. Before you know it there are umpteen different variations on the basic Voltric model premise.

I tested Voltric 9 yesterday and I think it looks brilliant but doesn't play too well. I'll be writing a review very soon.

It seems to chip more easily than others too. I look forward to reading your thoughts on it.
