The Carlton Vapour Trail 82 Badminton Racket provides an optimum synergy of control, power and speed, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced players looking for a racket delivering excellent all-around performance. 

Features:

Japanese High Modulus Graphite  - Japanese Hotmelt Graphite is the highest specification carbon available on the market treated with high pressurized heat for better graphite fusion ensuring your Carlton frame will outperform all other construction materials for frame response and stability.

Nanocell Enhanced - Unique resin system increases overall stiffness for enhanced shot precision. Extreme racket recoil velocity gives excellent manoeuvrability for ultimate speed and control.

Vectran Enhanced - Super elastic Vectran fibres are five times stronger than steel. Braided Vectran and Carbon fibres in the shaft increase elastic responsiveness, dramatically increasing power return for greater penetrative shot-making.

Torsional Control System - By flattening the T-joint section, torsional twist is minimised on shuttle impact providing a stable platform and improving shot accuracy and control.

Bi-Axial Dynamics - Carlton’s Bi-Axial Dynamic frame develops more efficient aerodynamics in both directions compared to competitor frames. This increased efficiency is delivered through a cross sectional frame profile that is more aerodynamic than competitors frames. During development, over 80% of players stated the new Bi-Axial frame profile delivered increased swing speed.

High-Repulsion Shaft - High Repulsion Shaft is engineered with the highest precision in shaft manufacturing ensuring 360-degree balanced graphite layups. Higher power and increased precision are achieved by blending the optimum flexibility and kick point of your Carlton racket shaft every time you swing it.

XTREME Tension Frame - Precision engineering and the utilisation of the finest construction materials ensure your Carlton frame can accommodate 11% higher string tensions compared with competitor frames.

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.

Stabilisor Top Cap - By introducing 4 convex channels into the top cap, stiffness of the top cap is increased allowing for greater shot accuracy and control.
