The Talbot-Torro Arrowspeed 399 Badminton Racket is an excellent choice for ambitious beginners and is well suited for all-round players. It is made from 100% high quality graphite resulting in an extremely lightweight racket. It is a one piece construction meaning there is no weakness between the head and shaft.The Arrowspeed 399 offers medium shaft flexibility for a good compromise between control and power, making it a great option for the all-round player. Its slightly angular triangle head makes the racket more torsionally stiff and balls hit off-centre will not twist as much allowing for greater control when striking. The aerodynamic frame shape also allows for improved acceleration.The Arrowspeed 399 racket is strung with the multifilament Talbot-Torro 0.8mm Galaxy string which is durable and elastic. The maximum recommended tension is 9kg. The racket only weighs 84g unstrung and 89g strung.
