Carlton Isoblade Graphite Review

Overall Rating

Generally a good racquet, served me well for a fair while. Nicely balanced, nice and light. A good mid-level racquet

Unfortunately I found to my disbelief, that a very small colision of racquets with my partner broke the rim of the head of the racquet, implying that the racquet head has poor integirty.

A good mid-level racquet. Nicely balanced for quick flicks, with enough power for most players. That said, the head of the racquet seems to be a pretty weak structure, since it broke in a very light collision with another player's racquet (also a carlton, but an ariblade in this case.) I have since replaced it with an isoblade pro, which maintains the same balance and weight, but seems to give a little more power when required, and keep slightly better control on the shuttle.
