16 Carlton rackets are in stock in UK shops today. Here are the best of them for four kinds of player.
Balanced club workhorse. A mid-weight 82 g Carlton for intermediate and competitive club players, with the weight leaning toward the head. Carlton pitches it as a mix of smash power and precise control.
From £69.00 at Sweatband RRP £120
Cheap attacking graphite. The head-heavy member of the Velocitex family, aimed at attacking doubles players on a budget. Medium flex keeps it manageable.
From £31.49 at Badminton HQ RRP £45
Stiff singles precision. An extra-stiff, head-heavy 86 g racket for competitive singles players. The titanium mesh adds torsional stiffness for stability, and the slim frame cuts through the air.
