I need recommendation for a new racket, i consider myself an end level beginner. I'm weak in smash. I'm using a low torsion steel racket from Yonex (pretty bad, i noe...) So, i decided to get a new racket and a bag to protect it. Since i'm a on and off player, i need a racket that is well-worth the money (max SGD 90) and can last me a long time. Recently, sportslink in Sg have a promotion (14 june 2008) and offers Yonex NC TUFF 8Lt ~ SGD 69.90 MusclePower21~SGD 59.90 MusclePower 8~SGD 49.90 all come with a offer of free BT3 bag, MS1855 & waterbottle. Carbonex 6000DF~SGD39.90 free BT3 bag and MS1855. I have a large hand and prefer light rackets. Is any mentioned worthwhile? I don't go for brand and I will be thankful for any guide in choosing a racket. PS. I'm prone to flick the shuttlecock overhead in a downwards motion using the wrist. It will cause to shuttlecock to fly in a steep angle and look something like a slow smash. I noticed my opponent have to dive for it and regularly misses. So, what is this called? Or is it a wrong stroke?
