In designing each and every Yonex racket, a different player has been kept in mind. Since players have different styles, the racket should compliment the player. The Nanospeed Series is head-light for those players who like to attack quickly. It provides subtle control. It comes in extra stiff to medium and flexible flex. The ARCSABER Line is the one you should turn to if you demand your returns be of pinpoint accuracy. All of the series except for the BASIC Series have at least medium and stiff flex options available.
The head-heavy ARMORTEC 900 POWER is the Yonex badminton racket for you if it is power that you crave most. In both offense and defense, it will deliver the power you demand. With its round shape and box-shaped cross section, the frame design of the Carbonex Line is truly a unique one. Upon impact, you will experience the amazing feeling of the strings. The MUSCLE POWER Line has been completely redesigned, all the way from the medium to the stiff flex rackets. As you will be able to discern from its price, the BASIC line is for entry level players. The higher end Yonex badminton rackets run about $260, while the entry level offerings are about $25. The price range is quite large and can handle most budgets. There are also available used rackets if you need the price to be even a little lower. There are counterfeit badminton rackets out there, however, so be careful when you are buying. Yonex warns that there are many unauthorized merchants who sell counterfeit rackets.
