Engineered for precision play on court, Carlton's GPX -85 Badminton Racket is an advanced racket, designed for great all around performance. Made with Japanese High Modulus graphite for great feel, durability and power, the medium balance combined with a medium shaft offer the perfect choice for all players looking for a superior quality racket.

Features JAPANESE HIGH MODULUS GRAPHITE - Japanese High Modulus graphite is the very best graphite with the highest specifications in the market. This graphite outperforms all other graphite types in the field of frame recovery after impact and therefore provides more stability and control. Players are able to hit the next stroke faster with a racket that is back in shape.

TORSIONAL CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)

• Flat T-junction which minimizes torsional twisting of the racket when hitting the shuttle (especially at off-centre hits)
• Improves accuracy and control
• Higher energy transfer to the shuttle for more power

XTREME TENSION FRAME

• Firm frame construction that can handle higher stringing tension
• Tension up to 30 lbs / 13.6 kg.
• Provides more control, touch and feel
• Provides great sound at shuttle impact

STABILISOR TOPCAP

• 4 convex channels in the top cap
• Increases the stiffness of the top cap which ensures more accuracy and control in your shots.

• Positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock
• Providing more power in the hitting zone and more comfort

WIDE BODY FRAME

• The head is wider than standard rackets
• Reduced vibration increases comfort
• Less frame deformation and therefore more energy to

HIGH REPULSION SHAFT (HRS)

• Extremely precise shaft engineering that guarantees 360-degree graphite lay-ups
• More power and increased precision
