Yonex Carbonex 8000 Plus Graphite Badminton Racquet with Free Full Cover

to sum it up in one sentence "great value for money". This is my review after 10 days of playing with it. The shaft feels very lite. Also it feels like it is durable as well. I want to split my opinion into pros and cons.Pros: 1. the full graphite body and frame is light in weight & feels very durable2. Easy to play for longer periods because of light weight.3. grip is very comfortable and the racket is easy to control.4. Strings are good enough (for my liking) though not that great when compared to other series5. More than all - Bang for the buck. One cant get this quality for this price else whereCons: 1. Perhaps the biggest con of this racket is "its lack of power". hence difficult for smashing. you have to put extra muscle for the smash. But if you play volley or placements i think its good in my opinion.2. the head is oval shaped just like all conventional rackets, i personally don't like the shape as it's difficult to find a sweet spot (again my personal opinion)

This is one of the best badminton racket ever I have used, please read the pros and cons of this racketPros:It is light weightThe string tension is goodDurableFabulous string material which lasts longerBest for beginners as well as semi professionals also.Cons:The grip of the racket will become damage if you play rigorously like me. So keep this in mind...My conclusionIt is really a great racket according to me exept the con that I mentioned above.

I have used it for 5 years and it is still perfect, no problem ar all, cery light, comfortable and good for smashes. Control is good. I am an intermediate level player now.

These bat is right on the peak when it comes to durability, ofcourse it wont survive if you hit the ground , i suggest it for juniors who mastered the clears, smashes, net kills,drives, but for specific play i dont prefer it. i like to use artengo820 lite and nanoray light series for doubles as i like to play behind the net, it depends on the level of play a senior of our college outmatches most of our college players with gr 303 but good racquet within the price range

Best badminton racket I ever bought.

Got it somewhere in price range of 2100-2200 RS. I felt very happy after holding it because it is lightweight and product looks elegant. While playing it worked like a charm in hand but frame got damaged very easily after few days of use while smashing, this makes me question about it's durability. Though I was happy with it's performance but I have not ordered it again, since it couldn't last for me even a month. May be in future if any new improved version is launched I would like to try again.

Deciding a perfect badminton racket is a confusing and costly task. And while buying online, more often than not, people end-up purchasing the incorrect racket for their playing style just based on reviews, ratings and recommendations.Three things to keep in mind:1. Do you play indoors or outdoors?2. Are you a defensive player or attacking player?3. Do you often play singles or doubles.All 3 mid range series offered by Yonex (Musclepower, Nanoray, Carbonex) cater to their own niches.Nanoray:Too light by some standards(5U) and can't use it to play outdoors. Though like Carbonex, offers more control and suiitable for doubles games - if you always play indoors.Musclepower:Perfect weight(4U) if you play outdoors or indoors, slightly head heavy if you are an attacking player, a fan of smashes and shots, and not too heavy to hinder while playing fast paced doubles game too.Carbonex:Perfect weight(4U) if you play outdoors or indoors, base heavy offering more control and less strain on your wrists, and perfect if you are a defence player or you often play fast paced doubles.You can achieve smooth movements with not more than just wrist flicks.
