Demand no excuses with an aerodynamic design that delivers ultimate performance for hard hitters and long swingers. In order to create a greater force within a badminton frame, an increased quantity of construction material must be used within the power generating area of the racket; the shaft. Carlton's continuing efforts to maximise this aspect of design has lead to the creation of the Aero Slim Frame profile. The new head cross sectional profile has been minimised allowing space to increase the amount of construction material within the shaft. The result is maximum force with no impact on weight.The Air Rage tour benefits from a traditional Isometric head shape. By increasing the main string length, the sweet spot area is maximised generating more power and ensuring a higher percentage of shots are hit with optimal timing. Power is also increased courtesy of Pro V12 Grommets. Positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock these specialised grommets have been softened to allow greater string movement thereby increasing power across the hitting zone. Precision engineering and the utilisation of the finest construction materials ensures your Carlton frame can accommodate 11% higher string tensions compared with competitor frames. This additional power is complimented by Japanese Hi Modulus Carbon, the highest specification carbon available on the market, ensuring your Carlton frame will outperform all other construction materials for frame response and stability. Finally, by introducing 4 convex channels into the top cap, stiffness of the top cap is increased allowing for greater shot accuracy and control. Meanwhile, using a matrix structure, Carlton has re-engineered the end cap to reduce it's weight by 28% contributing to overall enhanced playability. Minimize

All round players that require defensive and offensive qualities will really reap the benefits of the Vapour Edge.Sourced from Japan, Japanese Hi Modulus (HM) Carbon is the highest specification carbon available on the market ensuring your frame will outperform all other construction materials for frame response and stability.In order to create a greater force within a badminton frame, an increased quantity of construction material must be used within the power generating area of the racket: the shaft. Carlton's Aero Slim Frame Profile ensures the new head cross sectional profile has been minimised compared to competitor frames. This reduction in size has allowed Carlton to increase the amount of construction material within the shaft maximising force generation with no impact on weight.Precision engineering and the utilisation of the finest construction materials ensures your frame can accommodate 11% higher string tensions compared with competitor frames.Positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock positions, these specialised grommets have been softened to allow greater string movement thereby increasing power across the hitting zone.By increasing main string length, the sweet spot area is maximised generating more power and ensuring a higher percentage of shots are hit with perfect timing.By introducing 4 convex channels into the top cap, stiffness of the top cap is increased allowing for greater shot accuracy and control.Using a matrix structure, Carlton has re-engineered the end cap to reduce its weight by 28% contributing to overall enhanced playability.Each premium Carlton racket is carefully hand crafted to precise specifications by skilled craftsmen utilising over 40 years of experience.*Length: 670mm*Weight: 85g*Flexibility: Flexible*Balance: Minimize
