Description
The Carlton Vapour Trail HT 82 is a high-end badminton racket from the performance series of the Carlton. Its speciality lies in its ultra-light design combined with a head-heavy balance, offering an excellent compromise between lightning-fast manoeuvrability and surprising attacking power.
The Vapour Trail HT 74 is primarily aimed at fast and offensive doubles players, women, and advanced juniors.
Thanks to its flexible shaft and head-heavy weight, it offers a fantastic catapult effect allowing you to clear to the backcourt or smash with heaviness without straining your arm. Its lightness (6U) makes it a formidable weapon for ultra-reactivity at the net and chaining flat interceptions without feeling muscular fatigue.
Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighing only 74 g on the scale, air drag is minimised. This allows for lightning-fast arm acceleration during reflex phases.
A titanium mesh technology strategically integrated into the frame significantly increases torsional rigidity on impact, eliminating unwanted twists to offer maximum stability and precision.
Its powerful racket head thanks to the optimetric frame allows good shuttlecock length without effort. For maximum responsiveness combined with true tolerance in play, the Vapour Trail HT 86 is the racket you need.
Recommended string tensions: 30Lbs (13.6kg)
