    HI guys, this is my first thread on this site, and that i very need the expert advice. Im looking in going to play badminton for fun more and a lot more often, however i dont think currently i will be competive at all. So guysdo you know any rackets, that are suitable for me. I prefer a racket can do all round, cause me and my friends play double and i play single all the time. when i play double im mostly likely going to play front.
    My budget for this new rackets under $60
    and sorry but this is my first racket that im going to buy "pricey" cause the racket i currently have are the ones you get for $15 for two. Where should i buy it, if its a website plz state.

    Thank very much

    If it's just for fun that you're intending to play, go to your local sports supplier, and pick one that feels good in your hand. At this level, which racket you have is going to have no effect.

    Apacs has some good rackets at that price point. They're not the best, but better than most 50$ rackets.

    You should look for an Apacs Nano 900. I liked that racket a lot when I tried it. It has good power and decent control.

    go for apacs
    what you should focus now is getting a graphite racket
    apacs offer good value for the racket
    but maybe you need to go extra mile to get it (for example by ordering it online)
    choose a medium racket (medium shaft) and even balance racket

    I would go for APACS lethal 9
