Flexpro 4U 26LBS Tension Carbon Fiber Head Light Series Badminton Racket High Rigid Lightweight Racket

The badminton racket works great.

Quite a well made racket that works very competently in skilled hands. The racket is well strung and has a fine balance. The weight is on point with other competitive rackets and feels very good in the hands. Point of balance is approximately 5 inches from where I grip the handle, so control is great with little compromise to power.During use, the shaft has moderate amount of flex. Serves are GREAT and lands where I generally want them. Smashes are a bit lackluster but acceptable. The sweet spot (point of percussion) is dead center but many rackets get this right anyways.I'm very happy with this racket. Its well made and plays very well. It comes with a small branded towel, branded full size carrying bag and extra grip tape.

It's a good racket, works nicely.

I'll be honest; I'm not a badminton pro by any means, but I love playing with my wife.We always have a great time be it at the park with our totally amateur net, or at the public 'club" we visit from time to time. But we both have more than a little frustration when playing with their cheap or our cheaper, basic rackets. So when I had the chance to grab us some new rackets here on Amazon, I took it, getting this Flexpro 4U 26LBS Tension Carbon Fiber Defensive Series Badminton Racket for myself. (I got another brand for my wife).Because she's the badminton fan I let her pick the little-bit-pricier racket that came in a 'set,' while picking this Flexpro 4U 26LBS Tension Carbon Fiber Defensive Series Badminton Racket for myself - yep, it's got the zodiac signs going, and mine was a decent color, so why not? In the end, I side-by-side comparison of this Flexpro 4U 26LBS Tension Carbon Fiber Defensive Series Badminton Racket compared to our entry level rackets is easy: this Flexpro 4U 26LBS Tension Carbon Fiber Defensive Series Badminton Racket wipes the floor with that cheap one. In a side-by-side with my wife's new one, this one is not as 'excellent' in that - when holding one in each hand - you will notice a weight difference. That blows me away - the 'difference" is mere ounces, but you CAN feel it. That said, I actually love this Flexpro 4U 26LBS Tension Carbon Fiber Defensive Series Badminton Racket and prefer it. I like the weight for myself - I get why "lighter is better," but I really like the FEEL of this one. I like how the handle feels in my hand. I love the grip here. So for me this is the better racket.As for this "set," which I looked and it was not advertised as one on the product page - but this Flexpro 4U 26LBS Tension Carbon Fiber Defensive Series Badminton Racket came with a great set. The bag here is outstanding, there is a backup grip tape, and there's a personal towel included. This is the cheaper of the two we got and the far better set. If you're looking for a great all around option, I love this Flexpro 4U 26LBS Tension Carbon Fiber Defensive Series Badminton Racket and the included set and so happy I grabbed it.

I enjoy the weekend game of family badminton and have a good set but the rackets that came with the set are of ok quality but not the greatest things ever. I thought it would be best to have an extra or two on hand incase one broke. Instead of a back up I got a new go to racket. This thing is light, strong, and effective. It elevates my game and allows me to really control the birdie in competitive games.Racket build quality: 5 starsThe racket is sturdy and well put together. It is very light but does not feel like it will fall apart mid swing. The tape is tight with a little squish to comfort the hand and best of all when swinging it, the racket stays rigid with minimal flex.In hand feel: 5 starsThe feel in hand is going to be more of a personal thing but for me this feels great. As indicated the tape has a slight plush allowing solid grip and it tactile enough for quick rotation in hand for back hands, forehands, or smashes. The sweet spot feels big and allows me to get descent shots even with a off center hit. It just feels like fast and accurate when playing. Now again this might be more personal to me and I am not a competition level badminton player but this is the best racket I have ever used.Overall:Great racket that provides great performance. This also comes with the racket bag, extra tape, and towel which are a nice bonus. I highly recommend this if you looking to replace a racket or wanting to upgrade over a basic racket that comes with the standard badminton sets. 5 stars for sure.
