I am looking for a good control and reasonably good smashing racquet. Any Kason racquet that falls under US$80 that comes to mind? Thanks.

dunno much of any kason racket,but i heard their frame can't handle high tension(above 25lbs)

Try visiting www.kason.com.cn (http://www.kason.com.cn) ,their offical website...
Maybe try TSF Glory,heard it the best of all their racket.
