    it's better for u to get a all-around racket if u have weak arm...actually what u need to do now is....

    1) build up ur arm
    2) get all-around (even balanced) racket
    3) flexible racket
    4) strung with low tension

    UNTIL...u got a strong arm....then start to get

    1) slightly head heavy racket
    2) stiff- racket
    3) adjust to more high tension
    4) continues train ur arm

    lastly....after ur arm become more strong and strong....

    1) get Head Heavy racket
    2) stiff racket
    3) tension keep going up
    4) continues train ur arm..


    this is what u can do =) don't think racket will help u so much on ur performence...it just will suit if u have nice performence =)

    if dun wan to get head heavy racket just stick with Even Balanced racket....see taufik using arcsaber10 ?? he no need to do like Lin Dan jump til so high and smash...he can actually just jump a little bit and give u a smash with SUDDENLY...POOM and the bird on the floor already.....he got dam strong arm...i would say he is the most most most most strong wrist/arm among the badminton player....

    see his backhand already fainted :eek::eek::eek:...

    yes alot of Professional player can make a back hand clear....but didn't u notice taufik backhand shoot bird speed is much more faster than other player? :D

    so it's important to build up ur arm/wrist 1st before think of badminton racket...

    but i got some suggestion for few racket for weak arm and good for offensive racket...

    for yonex u can try Ti-10's , Arc10
    for apacs u can try Apacs-Edge-Saber10 or Apacs Nano power 900(red)

    I don't think Taufik has strong arm but he definitely has strong wrist and most of all, he can generate extreme fast speed on his racquet and that's why his backhand is amazing.

    For big strong muscular arm, I think Xie Zhongbo should be tops.

    How about Fu Hai Feng? :p Like you said, taufik may not have such a string arm but whats more important is really the technique.

    Fu hai feng has well built arms, Lin Dan also, but you need to look at Xie Zhongbo, that guy is like a body builder, he's more than 1.9m tall btw.

    Any flexy racquet is good...low end armortec series if you want heavy, ARC7 if you want light. Don't go for anything stiff, and yes MP88 is also a good choice if you can find it. Not MP77 or 99 or 100.

    You can try a light, flexy racquet that is head heavy and string it to higher tension, this should be the best compromise.

    However, I have not seen many racquets with such specs other than the Carlton Nanolite 9500. I recommend 2 of my friends to get it and they simply love it !

    It has very big head, probably 60 sq in ! Because of it's weight and flex, it is quite good in defence and the head heavy also helps in offense.

    You can probably still find it at Newlink Queensway.

    Karakal MTEC series is pretty good also and Prince Triple Threat.
