Hi Zack

 

Welcome to my forum. I hope you fin the information useful for you and that you ask as many questions you like to get the information you are looking for.

 

Also, feel free to join in any discussions because we all learn from one another.

 

My goodness you have a lot of racquets! Have you found one racquet which you consider to be your best racquet or do you use different racquets depending on how you feel on the day or the event you are playing?

WOW! That is a massive list of top rackets, I only have 2, and they're both Nanospeed 4500. 🙁

I only play doubles too, which racket do you like best for mens / mixed?

Hello rob I have nanospeed 4500 too decent racket but I smash quite alot so I prefer a head heavy one or medium but nanospeed 4500 is head light so I prefer n90 voltric80 the asth and Carlton vapour trail elite and my new arc8dx is all really decent

Hi Zack, welcome to the forum. Hmm, that's a lot of rackets, more than necessary! What do you get out of having so many rackets?Confused The right racket can be good for a player, but a racket is a racket, Lin Dan would still be good with what ever racket you gave him! Wink

 

I hate to sound like a meanie (cause I am Smile), but having all these rackets would give anyone a headache and constantly thinking about are they using the right racket (whilst playing). In my opinion, you don't want any more distractions when on court! I agree you may want a different racket for singles and doubles, but it pretty much ends there. I would personally invest so that you have an identical racket (your favourite one), so that when your strings snap, you just pick up the spare racket which is same racket with same strings and same grip, and just carry on playing. Really helps, especally in matches.

I just broke n50 voltric80 zsth z slash n vapour elite somehow I think the frame break because I strung it to 28 ibs when is not meant to be that high I think now I’m only left with n90 as a head heavy one but need to buy vt80 or vt z force

Out of interest, how do you mean YOU strung it? Do you string your own rackets? If so, what kind of machine did you use? I only ask as I know with spring coiled machines there are a few things that can effect the tension. If you just use the dial to select the tension, it is not always that accurate. Should the spring move round you can get a completely different reading, higher or lower. And on some machines it is easy not to notice that the spring has come out of it's place and resting on the side and therefore be even tighter than you think it is. The point of my post is that there maybe a possibly that you think you strung it to 28lbs but in fact it was a lot higher? You may get away with the things I said if you were stringing around 21lbs but since you are at the high end of the range, even more care is needed to make sure that the tension is correct. Also, did you do the mains the same as the across strings?

I don’t string it my help coach does he is a level 1 coach and he string racket so I give all my racket to him to string. And no he string it with two string if I remembered correctly. And I had a at900 plc but my uncle took it as is the only racket he likes so now need buy more but this time I’ll buy like 3 of the same one but not sure to wait for z force or just buy 80 but I just tested li Ning storm n70 is better than I thought it will be so now that one is also a choice.
