Had used Yonex rackets for years and had this gifted for my birthday. Used it for 6 months, playing once a week. Playing doubles, there was a clash of rackets and the frame cracked. The second new Yonex I've had in 9 months and they've both cracked due to a clash of rackets. Fine if you play singles, but I wouldn't use for doubles as the racket is too brittle.
Lovely racket. Feels light weight and evenly balanced, good string tension for a regular player (like myself). Great upgrade from my previous 20y old racket. Liking the greyish/pearl colour too. Good price and prompt delivery.
This is my second time purchasing from BadmintonHQ.uk, and once again, they delivered top-tier service. I recently ordered the Yonex Astrox 100ZZ VA Edition, and the entire experience was completely smooth and hassle-free from start to finish.
A few highlights from my experience:
Customization Accuracy: They prepared the racquet with my exact specifications — the string type, stringing tension, and setup were all done perfectly.
Communication & Support: The follow-ups regarding my order status were timely, clear, and reassuring.
Prompt Delivery: The shipment arrived right on schedule and was well-packaged.
BadmintonHQ has proven to be absolute professionals who truly care about getting the details right for players. I couldn't be happier with my new Astrox 100ZZ VA Edition, and I’ll definitely be coming back for future purchases
Yonex Mavis 2000 - flight like natural feather, strong for training, excellent quality
Good beginner racket if you need a bit of extra power in your shots. Good grip for large hands too.
Noticed a difference in my game straight away. Switched from the game; still got the power but more control.
Carbonsonic Max NCS's flying trajectory is at a different level comparing to plastic shuttles. And it's stronger than feather shuttles. We've used it in a 1 hour double session and only broke one shuttle, but felt like we were using real shuttles. The price's also great. This shuttle feels like a game changer.
Absolute beast of a racket. Previously used an arc 11 game. I was debating getting an arc 11 pro or trying out the nanoflare. Glad I chose this over the others. Feels super balanced for a head light racket and exbt 68 @26lbs makes it super responsive as well
