Hi I'm new here, just registered today I'm currently trying to find out which type of racket suits my profile. Eventhough, I've been playing badminton since a child (stopped for a while, then continued again since five years ago), but I'm not aware about the racket I use. I simply buy a cheap one. Till yesterday, I read some reviews in this forum, and it appears that the racket give a significant different to rais the game. My profile: I'm small, about 5'4". I have a high flexible wrist, thus I like net playing a lot, and fast half court (front man in double), but at the same time I also like smashing a lot. So, I'm an aggressive player. Always attacking the serve, ready to kill in front of the net, and like to play smash and drop if in the base line. I play 1-2 times a week (I like double more, though the competition demands me to play mixed as well), and been in competition (division 3 in the region). So, my level of play is fairly good. When coming to the UK, I bought Oliver K3 as it got 70% reduction that time. Then a year later, as a back up, I bought another cheap racket, MP22 for only 13£, but I feel slightly more comfortable with oliver. However as the string tension in Oliver dropped, I'm now using the MP22 (string still strong, set around 23). Two days ago, I forgot to bring my racket, and borrowed my friend. It's RSL Diamond X2 PRO (Red). I felt wowww.. this is much better than mine... However, I don't know if this racket is the best for me. As any racket that I borrow will definitely be better than my cheap racket. People talking that Armortec 900 is very good, though I don't know if that's most suitable for my profile and style of play. I haven't tried it yet Any suggestion, which racket should I go for? Cheers!
