For most of us, the aesthetics of our sports equipment plays a small part of why we chose it. A quick look at badminton-reviews favourite looking racquets of 2012-13.
5. Li Ning N90
Li Ning have made major strides as a new manufacturer in the competitive badminton market place. With bright reds and dragon motifs relating to the Chinese origin. They are sure to keep making hits.
4. Yonex Voltric 80 - Peter Gade limited edition
This limited edition of the already pular Voltric 80' just adds that touch of class to this racquet. The matte white, with flashes of metallic gold makes for classic combo. And it's got the great mans insignia if that's your thing. It hits as good as it looks!
3. Yonex Arcsaber 9FL
The Arcsaber 9FL gets a mention as a racquet marketed as ladies, but still packing a punch and striking a fine balance between posing and playing.
2. Yehlex YX-3000
Any racquet where the manufacturer has colour coordinated the string to the frame has got to get style kudos. This metallic blue should keep you looking cool on the court!
1. Yehlex Junior YX-2890
Ok, this is just a childrens racquet. But look at it! You just can't help but smile at the rainbow of colours! It just makes kids want to pick it up. Anything that encourages kids into sport is fine by me.
