    Yonex ISO 30DF
    Yonex ISO 75VFS
    Yonex Carb 8400
    Yonx Carb 8600
    Wilson Senior Hope

    actually i am a learner recently and know nothing about badminton.
    And I just want a racket around 40-50 dollars.
    I am in Canada. Is there any other brand recommended?

    then i recommend the CAB8400/ Head nanopower 500, since it doesnt matter, was you are a learner. just pick up the racket and go play.

    benqiang if you're in Vancouver i have some rackets you can try.

    but like jymbalaya said, "just pick up the racket and go play" you will learn what you want later ;)

    yes, Iam in vancouver. I played a month. I feel i have no strength I am thin, lol.. especially when i hit the shuttle at the rear court, not so speedy. maybe also because of the bad racket i used. any suggestion for a brand? like victor, yonex, kason. my buget is around 50 dollars. hah

    how old are you? what racket have you been using? all brands would have all levels of badminton gear.

    best to get a racket with the appropriate weight that you feel most comfortable with, your strength and technique will develop after that ;)

    The cheapest and suitable racquet brand for you may be Babolat, Wilson, and Blackknight. They have some low-end racquets but performs pretty well, relatively speaking. Once you have mastered the basics, you can purchase a better racquet.

    Sportchek is freaking expensive. Try Tad's in Vancouver just across Safeway on Granville (hope I spelled it right).:D
