    I am looking for a new badminton racket and i need help on choosing a new racket. I generally like to play a fast pace rally.

    I used a duora 77 for about a year and I really enjoyed it. I found that the racket has a very springy feel which really helps with smashes and clears. However as I improved I moved to the Duora 10 as I wanted a stiffer shaft for more accurate shots which the Duora 77 wasn't the best at. It was a very fast racket though so was very good in fast rallies.

    those both are clearly not beginner-intermediate models, although DUO10 is not a very difficult racquet to use.

    There’s also lining n9-ii which is a very friendly all around racket

    The Duora 10 LCW is a fast racket which does not lack in power being both excellent in singles and doubles however if you do not have very good technique then you might have find very inconsistent results. I personally have never used a Z-strike but speaking to my friend who uses one as his main racket he says you have to be very fast and have perfect technique for the small head plus an extremely fast smash to get the most out of the extra-stiff shaft which is why it's for advanced players only and any casual player who buys one would be wasting their money and ruining their game

    I would recommend a Li Ning Turbo Charging 50. Its medium flexible, slightly head heavy, and has a very aerodynamic sword frame for fast swing, and manoeuvrability to accommodate a fast paced rally.

    This sounds interesting - have you tried the Calibar series (e.g. 600B)? To me the Calibar series also has a fast frame, but it makes no sense if both Calibar and Turbo Charging has the same speed and/or feel.

    Can you give me your 2 cents?
