    My friends had recommended me about these racquets.

    Ti-10
    AT 900
    Arcsaver 10
    MP 99
    Nanospeed 8000
    AT 500
    AT 700
    Arcsaver 70
    Nanospeed 800

    Which of these racquet is good for a attacking doubles player?

    Rackets

    for a person just starting off i suggest u get a muscle power 18 it is a great racket and it is also light and iit is cheap.doubles depends on your budget and your level of play,if u are very good i would advise u 2 get a ti-10 or at power or at 700 but 2 use this rackets your hand has 2 be strong.these are good rackets if your playing competative badminton at high levels.

    the perfect racket for u is the muscle power 18,it is cheap and u wont regret it.buying a nano speed now is a total waste of money and you need 2 develop many different skills and strokes 2 completly use the racket.

    Wow didnt know that, an mp99 is already pretty fragile :confused:
    I broke one recently lol :p

    I can imagine the nanospeeds being more fragile as they seem to be lighter. but i'd have thought the armotecs would have been more resilient.

    Yup. Buy a cheap racket and light racket. Once you got your technique and strokes right, you can upgrade to a better racket. Head heavy rackets are more suitable for intermediate - advanced players.

    IMHO, Yonex MP series is good, as well as Wilson's Power series.

    ....you should buy other brands instead of Yonex, you should buy Victor Discovery, this racket is good at net and drop, however, smash is slow.

    Unfortunately I only know Yonex Rackets.

    I would recommend a balanced racket such as Cabonex 20 - Its a decent price all round racket. IMO, since you have just started you want a little bit of weight to develop the muscles. The nanospeed series might be too light if you havent developed the your strength and technique. Low end muscle power series would also be good for this. Having a balanced racket you'll also be able to adjust more easily to head light or head heavy once you find out your style and what you like playing with.

    Hope thats helpful in some way.

    3) More power for smashing?
    4) Control/placement style and good?
    5) Reaction to defends any good?

    i just bought the CAB30M for 109 dollar i know is over your budget but this racket is such riot !! it powerful yet fast enought for defensive play.

    Other than this it is a great training racket ... with the smaller sweet spot mean you will learn to be very accurate with using ISO racket in the future

    Theres my 2 cent
