RSL Magnum M8 badminton racket, Free shorts, grip and string.

So i've had this racket for a while now, well over a year. Honestly at first i was thinking if it would even be worth it. I was using it's lighter verison the 5u until i smashed it against someone elses racket, their racket was fine, mine was not :( So after speaking to the owner Jags we decided i should give this racket a shot. The reason I give it 5 stars is simple, after a solid year of coaching and alot of playing time it's still the best racket out there for me. Literally anything else i use i just can't get working. I can try (and have) tried sooooo many rackets through jags, it's unreal, i mean it's almost what havent i tried. I can't really explain why this racket is so good for me, but im a rear court playing, my smashes are sadly still very light, regardless of what i use, but with this racket, they come of just that much quicker, and the biggest thing, easier. I can get the same if not a tiny bit more power with other rackets i.e. 88dpro, nano 9000, shark, 88d dominate etc. but the effort i have to put it is unreal. With this racket, it's just so much easier, i can really launch it fully and it will be fine. Now I think it might just be RSL, it's the only racket that i've ever truly felt confident with. The next stage would be trying a head heavy and a little heavier version of this racket brand to see if it has the same effect. But what i will say, the airspeed you get with this one might be the main facor. It just flys through the air, with a massive whip, even stick smashes come of so much nicer as a result. So for me (low intermidaite player) i love this racket, would recommend if whatever you have tried so far is just to heavy and you feel sluggish even if people around you are saying the rackets you are trying are light. That's honestly the best thing i could say, if you are someone who is having issue with weight with any racket no matter how light they are advertised, try this one.

Great racket - lovely to play with - this is my second purchase as wanted spare in case I broke my first one

After breaking my previous racket (bought through BRR), I got in touch with Rob via the chat to see what was out there. We discussed my level, strengths and weaknesses, and what i wanted from a racket. To be honest I had a fair idea of what i wanted and was looking for reassurance - so was left a little confused and scratching my head when he said that he would recommend for me the RSL magnum M8, I had never heard of RSL before and had no intention of buying this brand. We chatted a few more times, and each time he made several suggestions that may be good for me, but always came back to this racket as his recommendation. I was apprehensive about buying a 100 pound racket from a brand i'd not heard of, recommended by a guy I'd never met, so he said i could over grip, and as long as it stayed pristine I could return. So i bit the bullet and did exactly this. Oh my god - what a racket, it plays beautifully. It's incredibly maneuverable and fast in the air speeding up my reaction time. It's got a really nice all round ability, and control is effortless. The biggest thing i noticed however was with the smash - when you hit the sweet spot there's a lovely whip/smack sound and then the shuttle flies like a bullet. (he did say this would add power to my game and i wasn't disappointed)

I've been so impressed with this racket (after only 9 days and one club night) that i have already ordered a second.

I've learned 2 things here -

1 - The RSL Magnum M8 is a great all round racket that gives great control and manoeuvrability with plenty of power for drives, returns and smashes, and in my opinion it is worth more than the selling price,(I've played with considerably more expensive Babolat, li ning and Yonex that friends have lent me)

2 - If you aren't 100% sure what you want(or need) to improve your game, then get on the chat and seek guidance - there are loads of rackets that BRR has access to and can inform about that aren't in shops to make comparisons. These guys know their stuff!!

Thanks Rob and the BRR team!
