    I saw this in a sportshop today, and I could not find any information on this badminton racket.

    Can someone give me some thoughts on this racket and would this racket be good for a singles/doubles player who is looking for power as well as decent netplay?

    Any opinions or comments are much appreciated :)

    If I were to choose, should I settle for the Vapour trail Viper or the Carlton Power-Surge 900Ti (http://www.sportchek.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=4293921)?

    One is $30 cheaper but the Viper seems to hold a higher tension and looks more durable.

    I am looking to trade up from my old Wilson Ti-Smash (which is pretty stiff) to something with a little more flex to help me improve my overall clears and smashes, while maintaining my net game in my doubles games.

    As a result, which would be a more suitable beginner-intermediate player like me?
    And if I were to string it at around 23lbs, should I settle for BG65Ti or BG80 for more power?
