    You pay for the name with Yonex, so if you are happy with other brands you can save £££
    Ashaway Viper XT900 about £80, feels good and is strong.

    Any Shops near you where you can go and feel a few racquets or are you buying online?

    If money is no longer a problem, then your list grows exponentially. You have so many choices, it really comes down to your taste in racket. Here addtions to my previous list:
    Yonex NS 8000 is good for singles or doubles aggressive player.
    Victor BS 10 is fairly evenly balanced and quick
    Panda Power Trinity Pro - can choose your own balance point. Solid racket.
