Champion Sports Tempered Steel Twin Shaft Badminton Racket

This is for killing carpenter bees. I know. Some think it’s for a game or something. Works great.

Don't waste your money on cheap badminton rackets or sets. And for goodness sake, don't waste your money on those battery powered plastic zapper-swatter toys. If you have strength beyond that of a first grader, neither of those will last long enough to do you much good. If you really want to deal effectively with those pesky carpenter bees, you need one (or two) of these super-duty, heavy artillery, he-man, carpenter bee slayers. The webbing is tight and the handles are sturdy. I bought two so that I could have one near the shop and one near the house, and do not regret spending one penny on either of them. My only regret is wasting time and money on the cheaper alternatives. As an added bonus, it makes me feel a little bit like Bruce Lee while slaying those pesky wood-sucking rascals in their own element.

I purchased this racket with one thing in mind - a tool to slay carpenter bees. When I recieved it in 2021, the carpenter bee problem was somewhat curtailed via other means (much more difficult). This weekend, the tempreatures for the first time this spring sored above 80 and the carperter bees have emerged. The racket was perfect for the task at hand - over the last two day's I've slayed 12 bees. For any newbees out there, you need a lightweight racket to swap them down - if they survive that, you just do the final deed once their knocked to the ground. The racket makes me feel like the great carpenter bee terminator. Highly recommend this racket to any oneabee termenators. ;)

Weight of Raquet is heavier than regular raquet

Perfect, just what I needed.

Racket is well made and perfect for my use.

Let me start by saying I have spent a 1000 dollars on spray to kill all these darn carpenter bees. To no avail...those jerks are way to fast. So enter an old beat up badminton racket from the garage. I killed more bees in one day than one year. But then the old rickety racket gave way. So the search began for a more sturdy...still affordable racket to handle crazy swinging and the occasional tree branch....And I came accross this....bee murdering....bad mother....tough as nails...slightly purple..ish....mans racket. Oh how the tides have turned again. This thing holds up well. Best 10 bucks I have ever spent. Bought 2 and the wife and I are welcoming some more carpenter bees because it releives so much stress but sadly all of ours have moved on to little bee heaven. Highly recommended.

The racquet is heavy and not so sturdy when hitting a shot.
