    I've decided to take up Badminton after I accidentally signed up for a badminton club today. I have very little experience and knowledge of badminton so would anyone care to give me some brands and names of rackets that are good for beginners?

    At your level, you'll want a fairly even-balanced racket with high flex to help with your power. Something like the Yonex Nanospeed 100 would be good for a beginner as it is pretty easy to play with. Most importantly though, is learning correct footwork and hitting techniques as no badminton racket can ever replace good technique.

    any racket would be fine..
    usually people would go for Yonex
    but yonex is kinda expensive (except you bought a fake yonex), so people with less budget would go for apacs as value brand

    P.S: may I know where is sugar land? I cannot find it on the world map lol..

    Brand doesn't really matter; just get something head-heavy and flexible:D.

    (I think the OP lives in the cake section at my Costco - I nearly fell into a coma just walking through it the other day...)

    Go for a flexible/medium shaft racket with an even balance, that will be the easiest for you when learning the shots and will be less demanding to master than a stiff head light or head heavy racket. My advice is go to the club and I am sure the regular club members will have spare rackets you can play with to get a feel for. Try a few different ones and see which you get on with well. Rackets are very player specific so the only best way is to try some out and see.

    All the best.

    Kindest regards,
