Champion Sports 26" Twin Shaft Badminton Racket with Braided Nylon Strings (Single Racket) - Silver/Blue - For All Skill Levels

Not sure what others use this for, but I use it to swat carpenter bees. Works great.

Great racket for a great price!

Bought it for smacking wood bees in the afternoon. Just the right length, and strong enough to last a while.

Weight of Raquet is heavier than regular raquet

Don't waste your money on cheap badminton rackets or sets. And for goodness sake, don't waste your money on those battery powered plastic zapper-swatter toys. If you have strength beyond that of a first grader, neither of those will last long enough to do you much good. If you really want to deal effectively with those pesky carpenter bees, you need one (or two) of these super-duty, heavy artillery, he-man, carpenter bee slayers. The webbing is tight and the handles are sturdy. I bought two so that I could have one near the shop and one near the house, and do not regret spending one penny on either of them. My only regret is wasting time and money on the cheaper alternatives. As an added bonus, it makes me feel a little bit like Bruce Lee while slaying those pesky wood-sucking rascals in their own element.

Carpenter bees - look out.

I got this for my son, and while it's not a bad racquet in my eyes, everyone on the HS team busted his chops about it. Even the coach made fun of it and said it was too heavy. I think it's lite enough and looks fine, but most do not share my opinion and a HS kid doesn't need the additional grief.

I purchased this racket with one thing in mind - a tool to slay carpenter bees. When I recieved it in 2021, the carpenter bee problem was somewhat curtailed via other means (much more difficult). This weekend, the tempreatures for the first time this spring sored above 80 and the carperter bees have emerged. The racket was perfect for the task at hand - over the last two day's I've slayed 12 bees. For any newbees out there, you need a lightweight racket to swap them down - if they survive that, you just do the final deed once their knocked to the ground. The racket makes me feel like the great carpenter bee terminator. Highly recommend this racket to any oneabee termenators. ;)

The best Racket i had, but expensive compared to other options which is understandable and logical

Sturdy very good product, albeit a little heavy. I find it comfortable playing with, although my child prefers the lighter single stem ones

The racket is so great but a bit overweight but I got used to it!

I must say a great product. I used rackets from dollarama but i had to keep buying them because they did not last. This is perfect, solid and sturdy we love it. No worries when playing with the fear it will break.

these are the first rackets ive ever bought and they feel great and are light weight
