    Have you been to the 'Cajun Tire' store to swing them around and check out the state of the strings?
    One of them says it's head light, and another says it's head heavy. You'll definitely want to feel before you buy.
    The Carlton 6010 at least has a good review.:) BEst of luck.

    nope, no sportcheck less than two hours away. we have a sports room: source for sports but i looked online and it doesnt look like there is badminton stuff there. i will have to look at a few racquets i can find. we have a walmart do they carry badminton stuff? i have not checked there but i was just thinking and the might have something. does any one know if they do?

    Walmart will only carry the backyard badminton set which has steel rackets...

    If you have a source for sports check them out. Some smaller places only put the most popular stuff on their website even though they have more in the store. If they only have tecno then don't bother, the carltons are canadian tire will be better. On the other hand source might be able to string your current racket which might even be better if you're already used to the racket.
