Finally got my new badminton racquets

I just purchased 2 Victor Super Nano 5 badminton racquets from a buddy that works at TGH.

Played with one last Tuesday. I’m happy with the racquet.

Off hand, I would say it’s an good intermediate-advanced racquet. Well-balanced with med-stiffness. I can’t nearly as hard with it as my Woven 11, but it generates respectable power. With the stock strings, I was getting 80% of what I would normally get. However, since the racquet is well-balanced, defense and net-play is way easier. It’s also easier on the elbow.

ASIDE: I have to say though, why on earth do manufacturers put such shitty strings onto high-end racquets? This racquet is $160 retail (not that cheap, not that expensive), and the factory strings are just total garbage. Why bother stringing it in the first place?

I just got them strung at 26/24 lbs (cross and mains) with BG65Ti. Can’t wait to use it. I’m feeling that itch to play.

I’ll write more about the racquet after I play with it some more.
