$60 to $70Originally posted by apacsfreak:What's your budget?
went out yesterday and saw a carbonex8 selling at 39.90 and a carbonex 6000 @ the same price too, should i get them? -
erm...if you get those models, then i don't see in what way will you be upgrading then....you will more likely be downgrading.Originally posted by kenn3th:$60 to $70

For your budget, it would be quite difficult to get a decent racquet unless it's second hand. Good yonex racquets would cost at least 160SGD and more.
You might wanna ask around in forums to see if anyone selling 2nd hand. Some of them do keep their racquets in very good condition and change their racquets frequently.
If you want a low-mid range new racquet....you should b prepared to pay around S$85. Brands include Pro Kennex/Toalson/Hart/Wilson. Slightly cheaper would be brands like Apacs/Tactic/Proace...around S$70++ in singapore.... -
not really downgrading but the actual price of both carb8 and carb6000 are $60+ so it's kinda a steal to get them at $30 +

Let's just say that given the variety of brands and the new technology in the newer models, its not worth it to get those 2 models anymore....even at $30+ even if they are Yonex racquets....cos most prob you find them too heavy for your liking also....you should go and have a feel of other racquets......then you will know the difference and why other racquets are more expensive....you pay for what you get.....good Yonex models are the higher end models which will cost at least 160 and above......wouldn't want you to end up spending again on another racquet...you will then really end up spending more money.Originally posted by kenn3th:not really downgrading but the actual price of both carb8 and carb6000 are $60+ so it's kinda a steal to get them at $30 +
But if you will really think it's a steal....then go ahead....IMHO these 2 models are not worth buying anymore..... -
If let's say for a twice weekly player, who is still studing, what models do u recc

Actually the frequency of play wont affect your choice much....budget is the key....even if i recommend the a racquet to you based on your frequency or style of play, you may not be able to afford it based on your budget.....e.g. racquets more durable because you play more often may be more expensive or racquet that perform better or are more solid in the feel will defintely be more expensive due to better materials used......Originally posted by kenn3th:If let's say for a twice weekly player, who is still studing, what models do u recc
Anyway base on your budget of 60 - 70 bucks....brands as mentioned earlier are Apacs(dont mistaken as if i am promoting this brand, it's just that the price of this racquets are relatively cheaper for the quality)/cheaper models of Proace/Tactic/cheaper models of Toalson....model will depend on the hand feel....go down to racquet shop and swing swing abit to see which racquet you are most comfortable with....there are of course -

But of course if you are a relatively good player...any racquet will do?
