Yonex Muscle Power 29 LTC

The Muscle Power 29 LTC is one step up from the 22 LT in Yonex's budget Muscle Power range - same recreational intent, built to be an easy, forgiving racquet rather than a specialised one.

Even balance keeps clears, drives and net shots feeling equally natural, and the medium-flex graphite shaft supplies power without asking for a fast swing. Yonex's rating tops out at 30 lbs, which is high for this tier and means the racquet will still take a reasonably tight string bed as your technique improves.

Suits beginners and casual club players who want one racquet that does a bit of everything while they work out their game. It won't reward an aggressive, technical swing the way a current Astrox or Arcsaber will - once you're playing regularly, look at the Arcsaber 2 Clear for the same even-balance feel with newer frame technology.

Strung by hand in our Australian workshop at 24–26 lbs, free with every racquet. 100% authentic Yonex stock.
