The Talbot Torro Arrowspeed 399 Badminton Racket is the entry-level racket in the full graphite area:a great racket for relatively little money. It is made from 100% high quality graphite. This makes it significantly lighter than metal or composite racket and the shaft is noticeably more flexible for more ball acceleration and power. The Arrowspeed 399 is completely made of one piece (one piece construction), the connection between head and shaft is no longer a weak point. The handy, balanced, light racket weighs only 84g unstrung or 89g strung. The medium shaft flexibility is a good compromise between control and power. The head is slightly angular; this triangle head profile makes the racket more torsionally stiff and balls hit off-center do not twist it too much (more control when striking). The Arrowspeed 399 is strung with the multifilament Talbot-Torro Galaxy string in 0.8mm - durable and elastic. The maximum recommended tension is 9kg.
