Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Ashaway Vex Striker 100 is part of Ashaway’s budget-friendly Vex Striker range: a graphite all-round badminton racket that gives reliable power and control without a big outlay. It comes pre-strung with Ashaway Zymax 69 Fire White, so it is ready to play straight away, and represents strong value for money.
Key Features
- Mid-weight frame – a balance of power and control that suits a wide range of styles, from smashing at the back of the court to precise net play.
- VS head shape – Ashaway’s VS head enlarges the sweet spot, giving better accuracy and more forgiveness on off-centre hits and more consistency in fast rallies.
- Graphite construction – quality graphite for durability and reliable performance across many games and seasons.
- Pre-strung with Ashaway Zymax 69 Fire White – a string known for repulsion, control and durability, well matched to an all-round frame.
- Modern cosmetics – a clean, modern finish.
Performance Overview
The Vex Striker 100 is built as an all-rounder. The mid-weight, evenly balanced frame gives enough power for clears and smashes while staying easy to control at the net, and the VS head shape helps keep shots on target when contact is not perfectly central. Because it arrives strung with Zymax 69 Fire, there is nothing extra to sort out before your first session.
Who Is It For?
- Beginner to intermediate players – moving up to a graphite racket with a balance of power and control.
- Recreational players – who play regularly and want a dependable racket without overspending.
- All-round players – with a varied style who need a racket that adapts to different game situations.
