    Yonex Ti-10 is a popular racket and most shop owners would know. You could look for Michelle @ Paragon (2nd floor of QWSS)

    Victor could be found at QWSS's Gala and Chiau Beng (2nd floor), but I prefer to get from Victor AMK store.

    Most of the intermediate ladies I know, knows their badminton stuff very well. It's time to improve your knowledge.

    Based on your replies, I believe you are an early-stage intermediate player, hence it's better that you find a racket which is head-heavy, 4U, higher balance point, lower-tension repulsive strings (NG-98), mid-to-flex shaft and a good tacky grip.

    While money isn't an issue, you should try Yonex Muscle Power / MP series. I think that right now in your game, you are hitting most of your shots well and need to add a little punch to deliver the winner. If you really wish to, try AT900P/AT700/N90/N55/BS10/BS11, which are all competition-level rackets (of course, it would be nice if it's a JP code for Yonex).

    Just in case, choosing the right racket is an art and each environment will need its own racket.

    During days when my wrist feels good, I use BS09/BG80@26 for outdoor. When my wrist feels tired, I use APACS Tantrum Infinity Light/BG-66@30 for outdoor. And when playing indoor, I usually use Ti-3/BG68ti@25.

    Here's what I feel for intermediate or below players playingindoor using feathers.

    For attacking players, use a head-heavy racket with lower-tension thicker string.
    For defensive or control players, use a head-light or balanced racket with higher-tension thinner strings.
    * All based on commonly found 3U rackets, with mid-flex shafts. Shuttles are right flight speed.

    My definition of:
    Heavy-Heavy > 285 balance point (BP) and above
    Tension Point > 24 lbs
    Strings > Thin strings are those below 0.68. Thick strings are those 0.68 & abv.

    If plastic shuttles (the Mavis shuttles) are used, it's possible to use 4U or 5U rackets.

    Yep. Go to QWSS and shop around. Remember to bargain. Usually you get a better price, probably with strings included (stringing too), grip and probably a simple racket bag.
