Hi all, I haven't played badminton in 10+ years and decided to get back into the game. Plan to play 2-3 hrs once a week - usually doubles. After 2 sessions I noticed that my clears aren't going back far enough and my smashes aren't strong enough. Could be due to the fact that I'm rusty and this will improve as I develop arm strength but in the meantime, is there a racket that can help compensate so I don't embarrass myself too much? All court style - male by the way if that matters. Oh and currently using a Prince TT Beast. Prefer not to spend more than US100 or thereabouts. Thanks.
it really depends on your personall preferences in my opinion i peronsally like raquets that weigh evenly. im not a big fan of heavy heads i currently use a kason carvel u-4. its cheap and decent since im just playing for a highschool and nothing else. kasons are cheap. you cna find it here www.e-badmintonusa.com
Check with NYCB, as they are dealers for Yonex, Gosen and SOTX. Schedule a time with them, visit one of their gyms, and demo some rackets. I am sure you will come up with something you like.
