Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Ashaway Phantom Shard 3 is a strung badminton racket for players who want precision, speed and power. Shardtech Technology and an aerodynamic frame help it move quickly through the air, while Japanese 40 Tonne Hi Modulus Carbon Graphite keeps it light and strong.
Key Features
- Shardtech Technology – a sharp, angular frame profile that cuts through the air for extra speed and manoeuvrability in fast rallies and finishing shots.
- Aerodynamic frame – reduces air resistance for quicker swings and smoother follow-through, improving reaction time and shot precision.
- Japanese 40 Tonne Hi Modulus Carbon Graphite – light and agile, with strength and durability for long-lasting performance.
- 295mm balance (mid head heavy) – balanced for power and manoeuvrability, suiting aggressive play.
- Stiff flex – control and energy transfer for powerful, accurate smashes.
- 87g (3U) – light for easier handling and less fatigue in long matches.
- Strung with Zymax 68 TX Orange – a responsive, durable string for control.
Performance Overview
The Phantom Shard 3 combines a fast, aerodynamic head with a mid head-heavy balance and stiff shaft. The result is a racket that swings quickly in defence and drives, but still has the weight behind the shuttle to finish with power. The lightweight frame stays comfortable through long, intense matches.
Who Is It For?
- Aggressive attackers – players who want power and speed for smashes and fast rallies.
- All-round players – who need a balanced racket that gives precision and power across every part of the game.
