Balance determines whether your racket is head heavy, even or head light.
Flexibility ranges from 0 – 100%, the higher the percentage, the chance of generating power in your shot.
Total Weight is the unstrung weight of the racket as measured by Yonex Precision Scan. Heavier rackets generate more power.
Swing Weight is measured by the swinging of the racket at a specific speed. A lighter swing weight can lead to more control.
Performance Swing Weight considers the weight, balance and swing weight to give you an effective estimate of the power behind your racket.

The Ashaway Phantom Helix is a badminton racket from Ashaway's Phantom series, built for players who want advanced technology, strength and a distinctive look. Building on earlier Phantom models, it adds the Phantom Airflow System, a more flexible shaft and a cosmetic weave, and comes pre-strung with Zymax Fire 69 Orange.
Key Features
- Phantom Airflow System – an aerodynamic frame designed for speed and reduced drag, giving faster racket-head speed in fast rallies and improving both power and control.
- Cosmetic Weave Technology – tested under extreme temperatures and pressures, the weave keeps the slim profile without compromising strength, and gives the racket its distinctive look.
- Zymax Fire 69 strings – pre-strung with Zymax Fire 69 Orange for durability, precision and power.
- Enhanced shaft flexibility – a medium-stiff shaft with more flex than the original Phantom models, working with the airflow technology to generate greater shuttle speed.
- High-Modulus Carbon Graphite frame – Ultra 40Tonne High Modulus Carbon Graphite for resilience, strength and durability under aggressive play.
Performance Overview
The aerodynamic frame and added shaft flex give good racket-head speed and control. The even to head-heavy balance, combined with support for high string tensions, helps with powerful smashes and accurate placement, while the cosmetic weave and high-modulus carbon graphite add durability for regular competitive use. With orange Zymax Fire strings and a graphite finish, it also looks the part.
Who Is It For?
- Intermediate to advanced players – who value speed, power and control.
- Competitive players – looking for a high-performance racket for tournament conditions.
- Style-conscious players – who want a racket that performs and stands out on court.
