    Hi I'm looking for an all-round racket, I mostly play singles. I'm not much of a aggressive smasher mostly defensive play, all though i would also like a racket that would have decent power for a smash. My budget is around 120-150 dollars. Any suggestions? :)

    You could get an Armortec 500 at Abbies or Tad's sporting goods and if you really want, you can buy from SE (special edition), but don't buy from clearone/cleartwo/vrc/any club (inflated prices). Also don't buy from Impulse sports at Aberdeen, their prices are also inflated.

    Hi, I think you can ask APCmalaysia (fellow forumer) for opinion. She's using Finnex rackets.

    Finnex

    I bought 10 Finnex Racquets and sold them out in 1 day. All of them, well 8 of them, i keep 2 for myself.

    No complain about the racquets so far from all the people who use Finnex.

    Ti-10 (new version) or the MP Limited, both are well within your budget even after adding on the shipping cost.

    Hi,
    I am currently using a few Finnex rackets. Nano Speed, Max Tour and Nano Blade. The rackets are well balanced and able to withstand high tension. Good playability as well. Got them from the Finnex specialise shop in Puchong Prima. Let me know if you need directions.

    Cheers!!

    The racket retails around RM279 with Nano Power 65 strings, grip and a two compartment thermo bag. The shop is near to Puchong Perdana not near MBA. You can call the shop owner, Ronny at 012-2337297 for directions if you are confused with mine below :

    Directions:
    From LDP with IOI Mall on your right, go straight all the way until you see Tractors Malaysia on your left.
    After Tractors, turn left (follow Puchong Perdana sign)
    Go straight and follow Puchong Perdana sign, go under flyover and turn right.
    Mosque is on your right..go straight, 1st roundabout..12 o'clock..then straight, 2nd roundabout..9 o'clock.
    Go straight...Turn right before petronas...1st junction turn left.
    SHop is on your right : FINNEX Racket Boutique.

    Cheers!!
