    3. Do you know what overgrip is, if not then think about it ;P
    3a. yes i am looking for an overgrip
    4. Do you care much about durability or is it all about performance?
    4a. hmm... sort of in the middle i guess? ill move slightly towards durability tho
    5. Do you sweat a lot?

    How flexible are you on budget?
    I think maybe you're going to struggle a little bit, to find a decent racket for under $60CDN. I'd say you can pretty much rule out Yonex, Black Knight, and the other really big brand names.

    Something from APACS might be a good buy - I'm not familiar enough with their range to recommend a specific model, but I know they're great value. Maybe some of the other "clones" too.

    Apacs is the only way we can go with this budget. You'll be able to get a pretty decent racket though, don't worry. The Edgesaber 7 should be a good racket for control and will come in at $65
