Description
The Carlton Vapour Trail HT 82 is a high-end badminton racket designed for advanced and versatile players seeking the perfect balance between manoeuvrability, speed and control.
The Vapour Trail HT 82 is the archetype of the all-round racket par excellence. It is aimed at competitors or regular players of a good level who do not want to be confined to a purely defensive or purely attacking profile.
Thanks to its weight of 82 g and neutral balance, it is very easy to handle for intercepting at the net or blocking smashes in doubles. At the same time, its medium shaft offers an excellent natural whip effect (catapult effect) to easily clear from the back of the court or place precise smashes without straining the shoulder.
The slim frame profile coupled with an ultra-thin 6.8 mm shaft minimises drag to maintain a lightning-fast swing speed despite the head-heavy balance.
A strategically integrated titanium mesh technology in the frame greatly increases torsional rigidity on impact, eliminating unwanted twisting to provide 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 tension: 30Lbs (13.6kg)
