Hundred Atomic X Black Knight Badminton Racquet

Hundred Atomic X Black Knight Badminton Racquet

The Hundred Atomic X Black Knight Badminton Racquet is a high-performance attacking weapon from Singapore-based Hundred (HNDRD), engineered for intermediate players who demand an uncompromising combination of explosive smash power, structural stability, and exceptional string tension capability. Part of the premium Atomic X Series, the Black Knight lives up to its name — a dark, aggressive, precision-built frame that gives attacking players the tools to dominate every rally.

Featuring a head-heavy balance at 300mm, a flexible VaporShaft 7.0mm, and an extraordinary max string tension of 38 lbs — significantly higher than most competing racquets — the Atomic X Black Knight is built for players who want to string tighter, hit harder, and control shuttle placement with greater precision than ever before. At 4U (82g), it remains light enough for rapid defensive reactions while delivering the attacking power of a much heavier frame.

Key Features

• Seamless Built-in T-Joint: The frame is fortified with a seamless built-in T-Joint that reinforces the critical intersection of shaft and frame head — reducing racquet torque at impact, ensuring faster frame recovery to neutral position after each shot, and delivering more consistent energy transfer on attacking strokes during high-speed exchanges
• 38 lbs Max String Tension: The Black Knight’s most defining specification — capable of withstanding string tension up to 38 lbs, far exceeding the 27-30 lbs limit of most intermediate racquets. This allows advanced players to unlock superior shuttle hold, sharper control, and the satisfying feedback of a perfectly tensioned string bed
• VaporShaft 7.0mm — Flexible Power-Assist Shaft: Hundred’s proprietary 7.0mm slim shaft features a flexible profile that bends at impact to generate a powerful whip-like effect — amplifying smash speed and repulsion without requiring forceful arm mechanics, making it ideal for players who rely on wrist snap and fast swing techniques
• Head Heavy Balance (300mm): The 300mm balance point concentrates mass at the frame top for powerful momentum on smashes and deep clears — ensuring every attacking shot carries maximum force while the lightweight 4U body keeps swing speed fast and reactions sharp
• Curve² Frame Geometry: Hundred’s advanced frame geometry modification uses 76 grommets spaced across an optimised curved frame profile — concentrating the productive string bed area in the central hitting zone to enlarge the effective sweet spot for more consistent shuttle velocity and direction on contact
• Carbon Fibre Construction: High-tensile carbon fibre frame and shaft deliver exceptional structural durability, superior repulsion power, and a lightweight feel — built to handle aggressive, repeated high-tension hitting without frame degradation
• Aerodynamic Curved Frame: The curved frame structure reduces air resistance during the swing, enabling swifter racquet manoeuvres and faster head speed for more explosive attacking shots from any position on court
• Isometric Head Shape: Enlarged sweet spot via optimised string intersection geometry delivers consistent power and accuracy even on off-centre contact — crucial for developing players whose contact quality varies during play

Why Choose the Hundred Atomic X Black Knight?

The Atomic X Black Knight stands apart from other intermediate attacking racquets through one extraordinary advantage: its 38 lbs maximum string tension. While most racquets in this price range cap at 28-32 lbs, the Black Knight’s reinforced T-Joint and high-tensile carbon fibre construction can handle 38 lbs — giving competitive players the ability to string at professional tensions for superior shuttle control and feel.

The flexible VaporShaft 7.0mm combined with the 300mm head-heavy balance creates a devastating smash weapon — the shaft whips at impact while the head weight adds momentum, generating steep, fast smashes that are difficult to defend. Yet at 82g (4U), the racquet remains fast enough for quick defensive recovery, making it an effective all-court option for players whose game is built around attacking from every position.

Whether you’re a singles player who finishes rallies with deep rear-court smashes or a doubles specialist who dominates with fast drives and net kills, the Black Knight is engineered to elevate your attacking game to the next level.

Perfect For

• Intermediate to advanced attacking players seeking high-tension performance (up to 38 lbs)
• Players wanting head-heavy smash power in a lightweight 4U (82g) frame
• Competitive players who string at higher tensions for tournament-level control and feel
• Doubles and singles players who dominate with powerful smashes and fast wrist-driven drives
