hai all... just got to play regularly again after sometime, and need a racket recommendation 
now i play 1-2 times a week, intermediate level. only play doubles, i like to play from the back, mix of smash, attacking lob, off-speed smash, and some drops.
history of rackets that i really enjoyed include Armortec 800 Offensive, Apacs Lethal 70, and finally Voltric Z-Force II. you know that i've been out of the game for sometime.
btw, all are 4u. and my string now is BG66 Ultimax, 25lbs.
for these rackets, i really like the head-heaviness when smashing, and the stiffness for placements. notably really, really like the solid feeling (and the shaft repulsion) for back hand. is it just me, but defense against smash, either short placement returns or high lifts, feels really good with head-heavy, stiff rackets. for me, drives and netting are not really an issue.
i don't mind high-end racket, but if there are other options why not.
some rackets i've been reading on (would love to get comparison with any of the ones i've mentioned above) Astrox 88D, 99, E-Tune 80.
Also Li-ning N55, N70, N80, N90, although not sure about version I, II, or III, have not followed Li-ning rackets previously, which makes it really intriguing to use. using charts, i usually look for the most high-up north-east direction.
besides those maybe Ashaway, Carlton, Babolat, Mizuno, Apacs? its a jungle for me now.
if i can sum-up might be: if there actually exist such racket, almost play like ZF2 but bigger frame and larger sweet spot
