Description
The Carlton Vapour Trail 85 Sunstorm badminton racket is the stiff/nervy and powerful model in the range at an attractive price!!!
The Vapour Trail series offers an optimal synergy of control, power, and speed for complete performance. The new frame features a reinforced TCS T-Joint for shot stability and control, while the enhanced graphite construction Vectran provides excellent overall racket resilience. This deadly combination is further improved thanks to the HRS (High Repulsion Shaft) for greater whip power.
The new Carlton frames (equipped with "Bi-Axial Dynamic" technology) are more aerodynamic.
This increased efficiency is achieved through a special shape of the racket head profile.
This model breaks new technological ground with the integration of a revolutionary material in the shaft: Vectran. Used notably in aerospace and architecture, this compound, five times stronger than steel, gives Carlton rackets unparalleled repulsion once interwoven with graphite.
Its powerful racket head thanks to the optimized metric frame allows effortless shuttle length. For maximum responsiveness coupled with true tolerance in play, the Vapour Trail 85 Sunstorm is the racket you need.
Finally, specific eyelets are strategically placed at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock to soften string contact and thus provide additional power in the hitting zone (Pro V12 Grommets).
Recommended string tensions: 30Lbs (13.6kg)

Technologies
- Bi-axial Dynamic : Carlton's dynamic biaxial frame develops more efficient aerodynamics in both directions compared to competing frames. This increased efficiency is ensured by a frame cross-section profile that is more aerodynamic than that of its competitors.
- Pro V12 Grommets : The specific grommets are strategically placed at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock to soften the contact of the strings and thus provide additional power in the striking zone.
- TCS : By flattening the T-joint section, torsion is minimized upon impact of the shuttle, providing a stable platform that improves accuracy and control.
- Vectran : Used particularly in aerospace and architecture, this compound, 5 times stronger than steel, gives Carlton rackets unparalleled repulsion when intertwined with graphite.
