This racket has been developed for advanced players with a defensive game. The balance point makes this racket Head-light. Suitable for doubles players or those that have a deceptive game, this racket has great feel and manoeuvrability. Razor Guided Technology softens the impact of the shuttle on the string bed to improve touch and feel, but not how it's done conventionally. A grommet less construction at three and nine o'clock ensures direct contact between the cross strings and the racket frame. This increased synergy between the two makes for razor sharp control and feedback. Carlton's research and development department has been closely studying the bio mechanics of the badminton swing. This extensive research has been driven with one vision: to create a frame that delivers aerodynamic efficiency at every phase of the overhead badminton swing. Bio-mechanical analysis of the overhead badminton swing highlights two distinct aerodynamic directions evident during the swing phase. Air flow analysis during the swing phase also demonstrates the existence of two aerodynamic directions. The Bi-Axial Dynamics frame develops more efficient aerodynamics in both directions compared to competitor frames.This increased efficiency is delivered through a Head cross sectional frame profile that is more aerodynamic than competitor frames. During development, over 80% of players stated the new Bi-Axial frame profile delivered increased swing speed.Sourced from Japan, Japanese Hi Modulus (HM) Carbon is the highest specification carbon available on the market ensuring your frame will outperform all other construction materials for frame response and stability.

This racket, with its super light frame weighing between 78-80g, is new for 2012. Based on the Aerotec-beam system, support of advanced calculation and gathered data, the structure and shape of the racket frame section has an extremely low drag coefficient and high intensity to enhance performance in various shots. Top technology and advanced design evens out the force deployed on the frame and lowers the air resistance for a stable and prompt return stroke. Reduces air resistance and improves frame intensity. Features:. Weight: 78g-80g. Material: Carbon Fibre. Colour: Yellow. Length: 675mm. Balance Point: 298mm. Flex: Flexible.

A racket made to deliver power for the offensive player, the Air Rage is a fantastically balanced racket. With medium flexibility and a Head light design, there is a uniform feel that makes it incredibly easy to control. Sourced from Japan, Japanese Hi Modulus (HM) Carbon is the highest specification carbon available on the market ensuring your frame will outperform all other construction materials for frame response and stability.In order to create a greater force within a badminton frame, an increased quantity of construction material must be used within the power generating area of the racket: the shaft. Carlton's Aero Slim Frame Profile ensures the new Head cross sectional profile has been minimised compared to competitor frames. This reduction in size has allowed Carlton to increase the amount of construction material within the shaft maximising force generation with no impact on weight. Precision engineering and the utilisation of the finest construction materials ensures your frame can accommodate 11% higher string tensions compared with competitor frames. Positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock positions, these specialised grommets have been softened to allow greater string movement thereby increasing power across the hitting zone.By increasing main string length, the sweet spot area is maximised generating more power and ensuring a higher percentage of shots are hit with perfect timing. Utilising a carbon inner core and PU outer coating, a direct carbon link is established between shaft and handle enhancing power transfer and sensory feedback resulting from shuttle impact.

Li-Ning Storm N70-II badminton racket has an even weight distribution and moderate balance point, which permits aggression in offence and precision in smashes and drop shots. This racket features aviation technology design that releases the metal performance memory and improves control on strokes. It controls the frame restoration precisely at the moment of deformation and restrains the shake. The performance of strokes is improved under high tension conditions and brings about a quick, exact and stable second stroke. The cone shaped racket shaft design enables an increase in racket flexibility, whilst still maintaining control and feel. This enables the athlete to express their intentions more clearly and perfectly. All round optimized design improves racket mechanical structure for a more efficient attack and defence system. The sweetspot extends upwards and the hitting point is moved higher. The effective defence area is enlarged and the hitting velocity is improved considerably with widened stringing area and increased bounce strength. Multi-layer carbon fibres, plus exquisite handcraft, accomplishes a strong racket with excellent strength and durability. This high lights the various Angle Carbon tissues and distributes the Pressure point, including the multi angles and multi layer resin. Man-made precision, in place of machine process, reduces the creases and makes the racket more durable. Features:. Weight: 85g-89g. Material: Carbon Fibre. Colour: Black and Silver. Length: 674mm. Balance Point: 300mm. Flex: Medium.
