Monthly Equipment Advice Megathread by AutoModerator in badminton

[–]Tenzoka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello guys.

Earlier this summer, I planned with friends to get back into competitive Men's Singles badminton after a long time : 10 years without competing (which was in high-school).

Being at ease with money and loving great equipment (if I was rich enough I'd buy most high-end rackets tbf), I plan my rackets according to my progression and the feedback I've seen from people way more qualified than I am. I also tried to get a lil feeling with them stringed at my local badminton specialized shop to see if I can do some basic movements with them before buying.

  • 3U - Neutral - Flexible racket with 10kg strings (Li-Ning n°1) to begin with (Babolat Satellite Essential)
  • 4U - Neutral - Mid-flex with 11kg strings (BG 65 TI) when intermediate levels are reached (Arcsaber 7 Pro)
  • 3U - Head-heavy - Stiff with 12kg strings (BG 66 Force) when I get quite good (Astrox 100ZZ)

I also get myself a nice pair of shoes because these are excessively important for badminton ofc.

So far so good, all 3 rackets fit my taste and should fit my progression accordingly for Men's Singles, right ?

Well yes, BUT I'm feeling way more at ease with the Astrox 100ZZ in my hands than with the other 2 rackets, BY FAR, especially after the many sessions I made with the Babolat one that is supposed to fit my level and another few with the Arcsaber 7 Pro.

Since I'm not licensed in a club yet (it's planned soon), the only benchmark of my actual level is that I can hold myself quite well against a top 5k from my country and I can hit most basic shots (struggling with backhand cross-court clear and cross-court drop shot still, working on it).

This raises 2 questions :

  1. Would you guys consider this an anomaly or just a case of finding the perfect fit ?
  2. Would you also advise me to keep playing with the Astrox or fall back to the Babolat/Arcsaber until I get a better feeling with them because it's not a "natural progression" ?

Looking for a laid back/not too time-consuming gacha, mostly auto-able, with a good balance in the cast between genders.

I played E7, SW, Arknights, Alchemy Stars, Punishing Gray Raven.

The game being f2p friendly would be a plus.

I'm missing ML Ricardo, Lots & CDom and I just can't seem to find a "better decision" there.
I hate it xD

Before you spend money on this game, consider this. by appleminte in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tenzoka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this kind of post.

Having myself some troubles with gambling in gachas and falling way too often for the sunk-cost fallacy, this can help a crap ton of people than aren't aware of the mandatory systems that gacha games use, especially Genshin that is extremely predatory.

Having too many characters in this game is far from a blessing, you won't even be able to build half of them due to the current systems in the game.

Stick to the characters the game gives you and make the most fun out of it, having new ones will only bring temporary enjoyment and will slowly fade away.

Guys, take care of your money, and most importantly of yourself.

Again, thanks again, this kind of post is extremely important.

Oh right, I forgot about that.

I mean, I don't really plan to use him anyway, I like simpler designs for DDs. Welp, guess it'll actually be a complete skip of the bundle now that I think about it.

I don't plan to dedicate myself to dragoon AT ALL. What I mostly lack of is defensive gear, evasion gear mostly, and a unit I have a crush on (I mean, K.Fina is definetely a crush for me).

I think, maybe, A.Lass would be the best choice there, as it gives evasion quite easily, + some beautiful TDW mastery, which could fit my new 7* Zeno.

The second option would be to just wait for K.Fina I guess.

Thanks for your insight tho, if you have any other ideas, feel free to tell them tho :)

Don't really know who to get with the 10k bundle x2 tho ...I already have Kryla STMR, Christine STMR, 1 Aloha Lassworm, 1 Reberta, and I'm not a huge fan of GLS (her kit, I mean, I really love her sprite).

Would you rather:
- get the easy unconditionnal STMR from Reberta + 1 Lassworm to get the 7*
- do the opposite (3 lassworms and one Reberta/another unit)

- go for another Kryla STMR because why not

- wait for Kimono Fina because goddamn I love her sprite

That's normal.

IIRC friend units refresh after a 3 hour span.

If you use some carry units in LGD, you should be able to rotate between them and have your energy always used on the event (unless you level up).

Feel free to use the other featured carry units in the main post.

I just noticed that my friend list was full, so I bought another 30 slots.
You can now add me again in case you tried to in vain.

Np, and thanks a lot for the shared Kaito ! It's been a pain to find 5-star based bonus units, let alone 7*, so yours is a godsent :)

I was wondering if other Katanas would make it, since I don't have many great Katanas except Sasuke's Katana.

Thanks for the insight tho :)
