Hi, I am a male doubles beginner and I can't smash much, I like playing in the front for doubles. My price range is around $100 or below Canadian ($800 hong kong). Is there any good suggestions of rackets for me. I prefer a lighter racket.

Thanks a million for the help!!!:D

From puppysports.com, SOTX 5A. I think it is about $55 US.

Very light and good for doubles.

I don't think you can get AT-800DEF it for $100 CAN, but since you are a starter, an all-rounded entry racket would be enough to help you to develop your stroke, like MP21 or AT300, and maybe you can give SOTX Woven 8 a try too.

Good luck

He/She can try Mister Keen.

100$....In China, if you ask a "racket for beginner", people will suggest something worth 30$.

That's if the shopkeeper is a trustable, honest person in most cases. I agree with that, because an expensive high-end racquet would not benifit a beginner at all because they wont have the right techniques to pull out the full potential of this racquet.

hmm.. IMO, a low-end MP like the mp29 would be perfect. Or maybe as others have reccomended, the woven 5A.

Have a look at Ashaway as well. An SL-70 is very light.
