Silkybuy Review


"The Karakal Black Zone 20 is a fantastic entry level racquet. Whether playing for leisure or at improving club level, this racquet will reward its user regularly. This aesthetically very pleasing racquet above all impresses with its effortlessly smooth swing, vibration-free impact and precise control of the shuttle. The hitting sound from the string bed (especially in upgraded guise) is crisp and the shuttle hold excellent. There is some head weighting for offensive play and I feel this racquet is well suited to playing with nylon shuttles as well as supporting the transition to feathers. All in all an excellent budget choice for the beginning to improving leisure or club player."



Bespoke Racquets and why they are better


We sell bespoke racquets always using premium branded string. We generally select a string tension most suitable for the particular capabilities of each frame. This approach enables optimum feel whilst retaining the largest sweetspot. Our string choices always give greater durability, more resistance to tension loss and higher repulsion (rebound power).

Manufacturers generally string with economy string and use a low tension because that's easier and faster for mass production. Also easier is using a single length of string i.e. laterals and mains are *connected* in one usually 9.5m length of string. This means an already low tension is more vulnerable to losing more tension due to 2 instead of 4 anchor points.

We on the other hand always string laterals and mains separately, with two lengths of string and 4 anchor points so they remain independent. We additonally use a slightly higher tension on laterals to balance any head flattening caused by the mains.


We test all our racquets
