Dynamic Shuttle Sports Ares Red 68 Premium Carbon Fiber Indoor/Outdoor Professional Badminton Racket with Cover - for Both Offensive and Defensive Players, Good for All Levels…

I made the order with a big question on the quality of the racket, but, it delivered!! I resumed playing badminton recently and started developing pain in my shoulder as well as my elbow due to my style of badminton. Am someone skilled in playing in front of the net than at the rear. My Yonex Voltric 9(23lb) (yeah, I got that thing 7 years ago) didn't help as much, then I got this one, as soon as I saw that it weighs around 68g!One the first try I did realize , I am using lesser energy to push back the shuttle. Partially due to the 24lb tension and the lightweighted-ness of the racket contributed more. This meant that I can hold out my rallies longer as well. This was also a lesser starin on my shoulder muscles.As far as durability goes, I think it makes it through the day without much effort. You do have to take a bit more care as its lighter and cannot be expected to take direct clashes. On my diary its durable and good for most medium - high-end players.The racket has a smaller grip that my voltric 9 and this makes it even more easy to handle, my trick server are better to do with this one than with my other rackets as well. Overall, its one of the best rackets I have ever used. I would recommend it to anyone and I wouldn't hesitate to buy the next version of it that might come out!

I got recently into badminton so im practically a beginner, however i have a good feel on handling a racket from playing tennis and table tennis. i love this racket, and altho i have no other racket to compare it to since it is my first, but i can say that it plays really well!+ as light as promised+ enough tension and rigidity offering great kinetics+ well built, looks really durable+ the bag and the extra handle tape are nice and thoughtful bundled accessories- it is slightly on the expensive side

This racket couldn't withstand the tension at 26 lbs. I was disappointed by that. But the label says it can withstand tension upto 30.I like this racket very much but I don't know why the specifications says that it can withstand upto 30lbs which is not accurate. Not sure if that is a marketing strategy to sell this product.One request is to please update the accurate maximum tension that this racket can handle so that I will limit myself while stringing it

Its a very very light weight racquet. Its very easy to use and you easily will adjust with the racquet. But you have to be careful when you smash. Its very light so you have to develop some techniques to generate extra power in your smash. Also, if you keep pushing yourself to smash hard then your hand will start hurting after few games. Just be careful about that. Otherwise this racquet does everything that an expensive racquet will do. And don’t strung it with high tension. You will lose the power of the racquet.

I'm a beginner with little outdoor playing experience. Started playing indoor this season and got this after using a Yonex beginner racket. I use to get hand and shoulder pain after playing for long time. Ares red 68 racket is so light and comfortable. Don't feel the pain anymore. Only problem is, it slips sometime without the over grip. So, please make sure to buy with extra grip.Thanks to DSS for making this racket affordable and their best customer service!

Great racket. Truly light weight. Stroke is fine. Enough power for amateur players. Control is exceptional. Almost as good as professional rackets that cost 10x more.Only issue is the grip. Wish they could let select different grip size. Although not a big deal as one can add a cover.

This is so light you hardly feel it has any weight on it. Very sturdy and tough. The grip is very nice and comfortable. This definitely increased my swing speed and performance. Even the bag is very good. It's just as decried and exceeded expectations. Very much recommended.

Light weigh, very comfortable grip, very high quality bag. However the net tension is very weird , very uncomfortable when playing. I cannot tell why. My 20 year old entry level Wilson racket is much better than it. So it becomes downgrade for me. So I bought a $29.99 Wilson. Compare to this $80+ again, wilson still win. I feel like this dynamic racket really doesn’t worth the money.
