    Good for beginner. Very light. You need a lot of power to hit far.

    Depends. I played with it when I was getting back in badminton after a 3 year lull. It is light, head-light and has a very flexible shaft (and costs US$55 some 4 years ago, which is my main reason for buying it).

    For a while it felt okay, at a tension of 18 lbs. But after I got my strokes back, the tension becomes too low for my swing speed. Also, I struggled to generate power for my smashes with this racket, because I used to play a power game with a stiffer Carbonex 16, and have no clue how to smash with a flexible racket.

    If this is going to be your first racket, then it is an okay choice. You will need to learn the proper techniques to clear from baseline to baseline, because you will receive no help from this racket. One disadvantage is that you might get too used to the flexible shaft, and have difficulty adjusting to stiffer rackets should you decide to change racket next time.

    It will help. I will suggest to get a cab20 ms if you can save up some money.
