Hello, I play badminton several times a week, and play for my school's badminton team. I'm an aggressive player, and I play both doubles (net, side, back) and singles. The racket should last about 2-3 years, and I am willing to spend around ~$140. I like a moderate/head heavy balance I have a couple ideas about my rackets already, but feel free to suggest different ones!

In fact my kakis majority all using other brands and yes their rackets are good. Recently just tried the RSL and realised it's not bad too. Of course, it's not the badminton racket. It's the tension (depending on your wrist strength) plays a part as well. Maybe you can get some idea from here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=155 Enjoy your games!
