The Carlton Tornado 3000 combines an aluminum and graphite frame, which the brand calls the Power Frame, with a full graphite shaft (FGS), which delivers more consistent power than the steel shafts of simpler rackets. It weighs 95 g, has a G5 grip, and the recommended maximum tension is 8.2 kg (about 18 lbs). It is a step up from steel recreational rackets: it is still tough, but the graphite shaft makes the swing faster and the shuttle comes off more easily. Recommended for beginners who already play frequently.
