    Hey looking for a new racket. Price range $50-200...

    2 rackets actually.

    At a badminton tournament, I saw an awesome all white racket, looked really nice. Anyone know where I could get one and if they're any good?

    Anyways.

    I'm looking for a racket to get into more competitive play. I love smashing, and drop shots, and I'm usually on attack. Pref. something light and durable... I tend to break rackets... easily.

    Thanks!

    If you like white racquets, then theres an AT900T, but its not very durable.

    I find Arcsaber 7 quite light & durable, and it's silver.

    If u want a more durable & powerful racquet, then Ti-10.

    The Arcsaber 7 is definately a good money's worth. Though, it could be a bit pricey from where you're from ? Yonex Muscle Power series I heard were pretty good as well.

    Good luck !

    Kason TSF 100 or 200

    Try Kason TSF 100 or 200, both are really good rackets for you to try.
    TSF 100 is a balanced head light racket, good for defensive players.
    TSF 200 is a head heavy racket, great for smashing offensive players.

    Thanks for the info!

    I'll look at em if I can find a shop around. Just got back from 5 1/2 hours of badminton >> tired. lol.

    I'm leaning towards a good all-around racket. I love to vary a dropshot then a smash...

    AT900T is a good classic all-around racquet.
    MP99 is also a good classic all-around racquet.
    NS8000 is probably a good all-around racquet too.
    Arcsaber is too light, a bit hard to generate power in a smash.

    but durability of Yonex racquets is questionable.

    Haha, k. I'll be extra careful with any racket.

    I'll for sure look into those. Thanks!

    AT900T is nothing near classic.
