CARLTON Vapour Trail HT 82

The Carlton Vapour Trail HT 82 badminton racket is designed for advanced players who prefer an all-round playing style. With a weight of 82 grams and a head-even balance (295mm), it offers a great balance between handling and power. The frame is made of Japanese high-modulus graphite, which contributes to its stiffness and feel. The medium-flex shaft supports dynamic play and is suitable for both singles and doubles.

Sturdy frame made of Japanese graphite

The Vapour Trail HT 82's frame is made from Japanese high-modulus graphite, which provides increased stiffness, feel and torsional stability. Thanks to Xtreme Tension Frame technology, the frame can withstand up to 11% higher string tension than standard models. This means you can have the racket strung up to 13.6kg (30lb), giving you excellent control and maximum power in your shots. The isometric head shape also enlarges the optimal hitting area (sweet spot) and is forgiving of less accurately hit shuttlecocks.

Accuracy and speed of shots

The racket features a slim 6.8mm diameter shaft, which reduces air resistance and makes it easier to generate fast smashes. The medium flex of the shaft supports an all-round style of play. Accuracy and control are handled by the Stabilisor Top Cap technology, a special joint connecting the handle and the shaft. This design increases the torsional stability of the frame and contributes to more precise shot placement. The head-even balance (295mm) provides a balanced compromise between power and easy handling.
