    I like playing badminton and I just started a couple months ago. The one I am using right now is pretty bad, it's made by Pro Polo.

    I want a racket less than $150. When i play, i like to go on the offensive side. So is there any racket that gives me powerful strike with little force? I am looking at Voltric 60 but that racket is $200, not within my budget.

    Thanks for the recommendation, but i kind of prefer Yonex(Victor is my second choice). I want rackets that are medium or flexible shaft. Because my local badminton shop doesnt have those rackets available for me to try it and feel it.

    if you had started a few months ago, then a $70USD racket will be more than enough. tried an even balance racket with a flexible shaft, that kind of racket will be more forgiving and will allow you an easier time to learn badminton. yonex arcsaber 002 is what i would recommend. have it string with yonex bg65 at around 20-22lb tension and see how you like it. then readjust the string tension as you like the next time you restring :)
