5Star-TD Racket Frame: Steel - YONEX Combo Badminton Recreational Package-2 Racket Set

It has been only a day since I got them, and so far I am very satisfied with the purchase. I am not a badminton pro, nor do I intend to become one... just wanted to order something that will be fun, and last longer than those cheap ones available at your local shops. Someone in their review said the racquets were heavy? I won't agree unless they got the wrong order? or they are senior citizens? Your hands will get tired even if you play with the lightest available racquets for a long time, and it should take a looooong time before you get tired with these!! But then again, it depends on your age and fitness.. and just for the record I am not the youngest or fittest person around :)For amateur level racquets I found them to be very light and strong!! you can't go wrong if you are just ordering to play for fun in your backyard!!The only thing I wasn't so happy with was the time it took them to arrive. They said free shipping could take 5-10 business days, and they weren't kidding! it took 10 business days including 4 days of weekend which made it the whole 2 weeks or 14 days!! Usually Amazon's free shipping takes less time than that, but they weren't shipped by Amazon.. so...!

These are not real YONEX rackets they do not have the logo etched into the triangle under the head of the racket( which is how you can differentiate a real from a fake). The strings however are very study but not what the professionals would use. Although these are sturdy rackets the price is a bit expensive seeing as they are a misrepresentation of a Yonex racket. Also, the racket case and "birdies" are not of good quality

I don't konw what's the difference between this set and that one just a little bit cheaper than this one. The one I got is not as same as what this picture shows, but the same with another one...I don't know whether it is a mistake or not. Just weird like I pay extra for nothing...

These are made with some seriously heavy materials. Unless you have quite large hands, you will not enjoy the feeling at the base of your thumb. Have other racquets that are still in good shape after hundreds of backyard games, they cost less, are much lighter, and have a better feel. I would not recommend these to anyone. Problem is, it's hard to find a racquet that's durable and reasonably priced. Most offered online are either those junky Sportcraft (disposables) for virtually no $$ or ones ranging from $50 to hundreds of $$ each. Best bet is to head to a sporting goods store and try to find one in the $15-$20 range; make sure it feels quite light in your hands.

These rackets serve well when you just want to have fun with your friends. That's my purpose of buying a pair of rackets. You see, you have a pair of rackets and shuttles. The only other thing that you need is just a court :-)However, this kind of racket is definitely not for those advanced players. First, the racket frame and shaft are connected by a link other than as a whole. This connection may get loose after long time usage, especially for heavy players. Second, the racket is a little heavier compared with those good rackets.Anyway, YONEX always have very good rackets for all kinds of people. These are definitely for beginners.

A little bit heavy (not very heavy) as compared to what I am used to of. I'm not very sure if they are genuine or not, but they are good for the price range in which they are being offered.Buy only if you don't wanna go for a higher price model.

I gave 4 stars I guess because I didn't like the bag. It doesn't stay in place on my shoulders and it's annoying specially when I am on the subway train and I have other stuff do carry. But pretty good pair of rackets. My ex and I had a wonderful time playing badminton.

My wife is from the philippines and she thinks these are pretty heavy compared to what she is used to using, I have to admit I thought they were pretty hefty as well compared to another set I had used. They give you a work out and have a very solid feel to them. overall satisfied for the price
