S1000 Testing reports

The S1000 racquet was tested on tournaments by professional Speed Badminton players. Here you find the statements of Per Hjalmarson, two times European Champion and Swantje Bechstein, winner of the French Open 2009.

"When I saw the new design and the flatter shape they were real eye-catchers, but in the beginning I was not really convinced of the S1000 racquet. But after a few minutes of habituation I realised the excellent control I got and that the power is not suffering at all from that. The racquet gives me the possibility to develop my powerplay and to spot my drives much better in the opponents' court. I'm really looking foward to the next tournaments, now!" Swantje Bechstein, winner French Speedminton® Open 2009

"Although the S500 has brought me great success in tournaments, I have thought of the possibility to improve some characteristics to increase precision. It's great to see that these are now to be found in the new S1000 racquet. The new racquet has a more flat frame and combined with the new SBS it offers increased control and stability. Especially players with a long fast swing will discover the advantages of the new Speedminton® S1000 racquet, when it comes to precision. The frame is also slightly thinner than the S500 which allows the sweet spot to travel faster in the air and increase the velocity of the game. I think these new characteristics will improve the game of Speedminton® and hopefully the S1000 racquet will let me keep on playing as successfully as I have done for the previous two years." Per Hjalmarson, European Champion 2008 and 2009
