Carlton Razor V1.1 Badminton Racket

RECOMMENDED PLAYER TYPE: Advanced

The Carlton Razor V1.1 Badminton Racket is designed to meet the requirements of the advanced player with its lightweight frame, head heavy balance coupled with a grommetless design to optimise the impact of the shuttle on the strings to increase accuracy. For a smoother swing and increased energy transfer, the Carlton badminton racket constructed with bi-Axial aerodynamic technology.

TECHNOLOGIES:



Sourced from Japan, Japanese Hi Modulus carbon is the highest specification carbon available on the market ensuring your Carlton frame will outperform all other construction materials for frame response and stability.




Precision engineering and the utilisation of the finest construction materials ensures your Carlton frame can accommodate 11% higher string tensions compared with competitor frames.




Softening the impact of the shuttle on the string bed to improve touch and feel has traditionally been delivered through softening the grommets at 3 and 9 o’clock. Tasked with improving control by over 50%, we have thrown away the rule book creating a revolutionary new frame profile. The grommetless construction at 3 and 9 o’clock ensures direct contact between the cross strings and the racket frame. The increased synergy between the two racket elements ensures razor sharp racket control and feedback.




Bio mechanical analysis of the overhead badminton swing highlights two distinct aerodynamic directions evident during the swing phase. Our Bi-Axial Dynamic fame develops more efficient aerodynamics in both directions compared to competitor frames. The increased efficiency is delivered through a cross sectional frame profile that is more aerodynamic than competitor frames. During development, 80% of players stated the new Bi-Axial frame profile delivered increased swing speed.



By combining the larger sweet spot size (resulting from the isometric geometry) and increased air speed and control (created by the smaller conventional / Circometric geometry) within the same head shape, the Optimetric head geometry delivers both power, speed and control in one frame
