The price-performance ratio of these Hodura Champion RS-88 aluminum bats is extremely good. I can only report positive. The fabric is very comfortable to play badminton, a bat weighs 90 grams !!! As the bats are so nice and light, you can tidy knock the balls around the ears. The two supplied balls should be replaced by better shuttlecocks !!! This increases the quality of play and especially the gameplay immensely !!! I use the bat but not to "professional badminton" play, but only for badminton games at the lake. I cut it then but really play sometimes 20 minutes very strong, the balls in the air and to determine more than 20 times the ball is never stuck in the clothing, or something broke on the rackets. But ... "creak" the bat a little while hitting. But what does not matter!
