Victor V-3700 Magan Graphite Badminton Racquet - Choice of Colours - 89g

This Badminton Racket will easily exceed your expectations without a shadow of a doubt, this racket is great for smash shots and also strategic lightweight shots.This is a real-life example I took a smash shot at my opponent with this racket and its balance and sturdiness was so good that when he went to hit the shuttlecock back it had broken the strings in his racket and remained stuck into his racket, (I played at a club called Strides Badminton Club for the fact-checkers).

Update 1/3/19Continue to be impressed with this racket, I have used it for a few months now sometimes four times a week. I love the balance and the power it gives and find it hard to see how it could be improved except:-I have managed to wear through the grip already and have fitted a replacement over the original, this new cover is also slightly thicker, so the grip is now fatter than it was originally, and this fits my hand better, and gives me just a bit more control. Suspect it depends on the size of your hand.I have nothing to compare this racket with but I suspect it is just as good as far more expensive options. I would certainly buy again if the need arises.Original postHaven't bought a badminton racket for 40 years so I may not be the best judge of same, however I am very pleased with the weight and balance and the very taut stringing. Had a few goes with it and it plays well, fellow players impressed. It was also quickly delivered. I will let you know how I get on later if other matters arise.

I was playing with a Yonex Arcsaber 8DX that cost £130ish for 4 years or so until playing doubles and my partner went for the same shot as my with his crappy steel racket and bent it badly. I am an OK player at best but that racket was lovely. As I need a quick replacement and also on a tight budget I decided to go for this one for £32. I wish I had not. Should have spent nearer £100 and got something good. Don't get me wrong, there will be many people who find this OK and maybe I was spoilt with the Yonex but it just feels 'light and weak'. I find that when I'm on the defensive the shuttle ends up more often in the net, finesse shots come off much less often and smashes are not as hard as before. It may be that I am just rubbish but I just cannot get on with this racket. The grip also feels thin which I am sure I could rectify with some tape. I can't afford to buy another so I am just putting up with it for now but I am never buying cheap again - each to their own.PS. There is no cover with the racket as others have said.

Ive bought two of these rackets and have honestly found them to be amazing compared to other branded rackets i have bought in the past. In University tournaments I've found using this particular racket has suited the play style required. the flexibility of the racket combined with the speed and power one can generate from a smash is astonishing.I have given a rating of four stars as it is an absolutely fantastic racket, however i was slightly saddened that it did not come with the casing that was advertised along side it. If the order was just for the racket, i would give it five stars without a doubt.

Badminton racket arrived as expected and the case is full bodied although won’t offer much protection apart from eliminating scratches. Racket is as expected, with some flex, although with only a few uses (socially 1 hour a week) the flex has developed into a slight bow. Disappointingly the grip around the handle is already wearing after its third use. I have had to resort to using electrical tape around the middle part of the handle where is was wearing which is holding up much better and surprisingly good grip. However now the bottom of the handle is wearing. My old Yonex racket handle lasted a few years before the handle grip began to wear. Therefore I’m disappointed as although I could re-grip the handle, in my experience these never last long. I’ll probably pay a little more and go back to Yonex.

Bought this racket after reading the reviews. Needed to upgrade my old Carlton which was a little too heavy. This racket is well balanced,has a nice feel and definitely improved my game, its a great all rounder, feels just right, and suits my game perfectly. Well priced too. The on;y reason I have given it a 4 star rating, is that the handle tape leaves a black stain on sweaty hand. Have since re-taped over, problem solved. Would regard this racket as an excellent choice for both beginners and intermediate level.

Very Good Badminton racket. I am a beginner myself, and I wanted to start with a good racket, so I wound't be using a racket weighing too much, and make my arm tired. This racket comes in at 89g, which is almost half the weight of my cellphone. It even feel surreal, holding something this big in your hand, and feeling the heavy part is the net.I can definitely recommend this racket, and unlike some reviews, I got the full-size carry-bag with it, so it is indeed a very good value. The brand of the bag is: BADMINTON-OUTLET.COM "IMPROVE YOUR LEVEL", Which is printed with large letters on one side, and the other side have "VICTOR", as shown in the product picture. Personally I felt that the strap attached to the bag is short, and that it just fitted me as a medium sized person. Bigger people may not be able to utilize the strap.

Brought this as I have started to take my badminton game a little more seriously, moving on from a standard budget Carlton you can really feel the step up in quality. This lightweight racquet is extremely well balanced, with an equally well adjusted string flex.Having a lighter racquet seems to have affected my ability to power shot towards the back end of the court however this racquet is still more than capable of allowing you to get power and precision on the diagonals!Edit: After playing a few matches with this racquet and adjusting to its weight and flex, it's an excellent balanced lightweight but durable racquet that's actually improved my delicate drop shot and swing speed massively!
