The Carlton Tru-Storm FS 1000 badminton racket is designed with beginners in mind. It is made to deliver easy playability and all-round performance. The racket is reasonably lightweight at 93g (3.3oz) to let casual players add some extra power to their shots and help them learn to play with confidence. To enhance forgiveness, there is an isometric head shape, whilst an aluminium-graphite construction provides a lightweight feel and helps to stabilise the frame. The racket is strung with a durable nylon string and includes a half cover for protection during storage and transportation to the courts.
