  • Yonex Arcsaber 11 Play

    Yonex Arcsaber 11 Play

    The Yonex Arcsaber 11 Play is my current favorite racket for low-intermediate players and “high” beginners who are near the low-intermediate level.

    It’s solid all around the court without being amazing at one particular area but without any clear downsides.

  • Yonex Astrox 77 Play

    Yonex Astrox 77 Play

    Yonex’s Astrox 77 Play is a terrific racket for beginner players who are just entering the sport.

    It’s shaft is highly flexible to help with timing in your shots and the balance point is leaning towards head heavy, which helps with power in your shots.

  • Yonex Astrox 77 Pro

    Yonex Astrox 77 Pro

    Yonex’s Astrox 77 Pro is a strong racket all-around the court. It offers slight help with power but requires pretty good stroke technique (i.e. upper intermediate) to get clean hits, especially when smashing.

  • Yonex Astrox 88S Game (3. Gen)

    Yonex Astrox 88S Game (3. Gen)

    If you’re looking for a powerful racket for your doubles games, this may be a good contender if you prefer playing the rearcourt.

    It’s not as powerful as the Astrox 99 Game or Astrox 100 Game, but it’s slightly easier to play soft shots around the net with.

  • Yonex Astrox 99 Play

    Yonex Astrox 99 Play

    The Yonex Astrox 99 Play is like smash heaving for beginner badminton players.

    However, if you’re an entry-level player who has never played before, this racket might not be the best fit for you just yet (check out the Astrox 77 Play instead).

  • Yonex Nanoflare 1000 Game

    Yonex Nanoflare 1000 Game

    Yonex’s Nanoflare 1000 Game is a fun racket that’s fast to swing around and superb for last minute reactions in defense.

    While testing this racket, I often found myself able to get my racket in place and return shots I didn’t expect while being under pressure in difficult situations.
