ARCSABER Z-Slash YONEX Badminton (Racquet Unstrung)

I bought the product because I impulsively felt the need to buy this after using it at an open gym from a friend. It felt so light and had so much power I 2 v 1'd the little high schoolers for 2 hours. I was hesitant to buy this offline because it might've not had the same feel but I was happily mistaken. Good buy :)

I just got the racquet today. The base grip much thicker than my other Yonex racquet. Also the plastic warp of the handle is yellow, it looks like the racquet is really old. The racquet is sold at $149 at the seller's website, but they sell it at $169 at amazon. The racquet is supposed to be unstrung but it comes with low tension strings when it is delivered. I will return it considering the quality and the pricing issue.

I bought this one for a good friend of mine who is super interested in badminton. After asking our coach about the best size and weight dimensions that will suit him I went for this one. It arrived nicely packaged and was shipped on schedule no problems here. One shock I got while unpacking it was there were no strings on it. This can be pretty misleading considering the fact the image shows a strung racquet. We bought the string separately and once we got it strung it has been amazing. We play doubles and have one the intramurals at our college using these.

I'm a regular club player and over the last year I tested out a number of the newer rackets before settling on the Z-Slash. For me I can feel the extra power that this racket brings, even over the likes of the Voltric which many consider a high power racket. It took me a few weeks to regain the same control I had my with earlier rackets after moving to the Z-Slash but after a little adjustment I now feel that I've got more power than before and the same level of control.I'm using this racket primarily for doubles (mens and mixed) and play in state level tournaments and across the border in masters tournaments in Canada. I can't speak to its relative value in singles as being able to smash through a defense (rather than away from your opponent's reach) is much less critical in singles. But these days I rarely play singles and never competitively. For doubles I can say this is a fine choice.Its distinctive paint job makes it easy to spot from a distance so I've also noticed that this racket is a popular choice among many of the top players in our clubs around town and at the tournaments I attend.

So light the frame vibrate if you mistime it a little

I have been using this racket for a long time and I play tournaments often too. It's very good for mixed doubles and has enough on the head for having power when smashing in women's doubles. I replaced mine when my racket cracked due to a collision with another racket. I string my rackets only up to 24 lbs (which is recommended) and I get decent mileage out of it, My only complaint is the packaging and delivery. when it arrived the box had a small tear opening on the side and I was worried that the racket will be bent out of shape since there was no cushioning except 1 large piece of brown paper and I was expecting at least some bubble wrapping since a badminton racket is so much more fragile than any other rackets (like tennis rackets). But I am satisfied with the product and hopefully they will package it more carefully with my future purchase

Frame completely cracked after 2 months of moderate play. Do not recommend this racket

I've been playing badminton for eight years now. This is an overall good balanced racquet until it breaks when I was just practicing clear? Jesus I was shocked cause it's only been less two months since I purchased this from PNC Sports. I hope they got a good explanation for this and give me a replacement or refund.
