WHAT WE SAY AS TESTED BY OUR OWN FULLY QUALIFIED BADMINTON COACHING STAFF:
Here we have a lightweight high flex racket at a strong budget price. The Vex Striker 800 feels great in the hand and is very well balanced for ease of use. The higher flex shaft makes power more accessible than some of the stiffer and heavier models on the market and gives the racket excellent shuttle control. Where this racket really excels is with manoeuvrability – it’s lightening quick through the air so we found it great for fast defence and nimble around the net. Worth noting that the racket comes factory strung in Zymax giving great repulsion when attacking, with a half price string upgrade also available if wanted. Overall it is clear to see why this racket sells so well - it is equally well suited to a player new to the game as it is to an established league player. An ideal purchase if you want an easy-to-use competitive racket without spending the big bucks.
Positive: Versatile lightweight performance.
Negative: String upgrade extra.
