The Wilson Carbon Matrix 8000 badminton racket is a lightweight racket so it will encourage you to properly develop your wrist muscles rather than your arms. The balance point of the racket is 29.5cm, which puts it towards the handle of the racket. This would be suitable for you if you want to control your shots more accurately

The Carlton Vapour Trail Pure badminton racket weighs only 82 g making it the lightest in the Vapour Trail range. The lightweight and durable construction is possible thanks to the HM Carbon material. Due to precision engineering it is also able to accommodate 11% more string tension. The Bi-Axial Dynamics increase swing speed and improve aerodynamics. The racket is 670mm long with head heavy balance. Thanks to the Optimetric head geometry the player is offered a combination of power, speed and control. It is recommended for defensive players.

The Carlton Isoblade 400 is a badminton racket guarantees higher percentage of shots come off with perfect timing even with slightly off centre shots. The racket is recommended for beginners and features head light balance, 665mm (26") length, and 90g (3.17oz) weight. The racket has two-piece construction: titanium alloy head and graphite shaft, which incorporates the T-section technology. This lightweight racket delivers notable durability and powerful performance.

The Carlton Razor V1.2 badminton racket is a perfect choice for advanced players with a defensive game as well as for double players. This head light racket is 26.4" (670mm) long and weighs 86g (3oz). The racket features Razor Guided technology, which softens the impact of the shuttle on the string bed giving the player improved touch, feel and manoeuvrability. The Bi-Axial Dynamics frame constructed of Hi Modulus Carbon guarantees more efficient dynamics in both directions and good stability. Due to precision engineering and good quality construction materials, the frame can accommodate 11% more string tensions. The optimetric head geometry offers more power, airspeed and control and the grommetless construction of the frame on the 3 and 9 o'clock allows for direct contact between the cross strings and the frame, which results in the great combination of power, airspeed and control.

The Carlton GT3 Feather Shuttlecock is an excellent value for money alternative, and suitable right up to club level. One of the most advanced shuttles available on the market today, the Carlton GT3 Feather Shuttlecock offers excellent durability, and is constructed using premium density cork and made of high grade 3 goose feather. The Carlton GT3 Feather Shuttlecock produces a consistent and accurate flight and superb consistent performance time and again.

The Vapour Trail Junior consists of an isometric titanium alloy head with a graphite shaft. It incorporates T-section technology for lightweight durability and powerful performance, and is an ideal racket for junior players to use to develop their skills. By increasing main string length, the sweet spot area is maximised generating more power and ensuring a higher percentage of shots are hit with perfect timing.*Length: 535mm*Weight: 82g*Balance: Even

The Carlton GT1 shuttlecocks boast a construction from first grade feathers of the highest specification, as used in international events.

For players that have an equal balance of offensive and defensive characteristics to their game, this racket is perfect. Delivering power with a high level of accuracy, it makes for the all round game.Sourced from Japan, Japanese Hi Modulus (HM) Carbon is the highest specification carbon available on the market ensuring your frame will outperform all other construction materials for frame response and stability.Precision engineering and the utilisation of the finest construction materials ensures your frame can accommodate 11% higher string tensions compared with competitor frames.Carlton's research and development department has been closely studying the bio mechanics of the badminton swing. This extensive research has been driven with one vision: to create a frame that delivers aerodynamic efficiency at every phase of the overhead badminton swing.Bio-mechanical analysis of the overhead badminton swing highlights two distinct aerodynamic directions evident during the swing phase. Air flow analysis during the swing phase also demonstrates the existence of two aerodynamic directions. The Bi-Axial Dynamics frame develops more efficient aerodynamics in both directions compared to competitor frames.This increased efficiency is delivered through a head cross sectional frame profile that is more aerodynamic than competitor frames. During development, over 80% of players stated the new Bi-Axial frame profile delivered increased swing speed.Positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock positions, these specialised grommets have been softened to allow greater string movement thereby increasing power across the hitting zone.By introducing 4 convex channels into the top cap, stiffness of the top cap is increased allowing for greater shot accuracy and control.Using a matrix structure, Carlton has re-engineered the end cap to reduce its weight by 28% contributing to overall enhanced playability.E

The Carlton Razor V1.1 badminton racket is perfect for advanced players. The racket is 670mm long, weighs 89g and features head heavy balance and stiff shaft. All tjhose features make it a perfect racket for aggressive players. The player is provided with more power and speed by the new Optimetric head geometry. It also makes the racket easier to control. The Razor Guided Technology softens the impact of the shuttle on the string bed improving touch and feel. The Bi-Axial Dynamics frame improves the efficiency of the racket aerodynamics. Thanks to the precision engineering and the use of the finest construction materials, the frame accommodates 11% higher string tensions. The Carton Razor V1.1 racket was carefully hand crafted to precise specifications by skilled craftsmen. The grommetless construction on the 3 and 9 o'clock provides direct contact between the cross strings and the frame.
