Badminton a great fast exciting game played indoors on a smallish court (in comparison to a tennis court).
Speed and agility are of the essence in this game so the lighter the racquet the better. A carbon fibre racquet may cost a bit more but the benefits will be massive, it will enable you to move, swing and generally play quicker which could be the difference between winning and losing.
The second thing to look for is string tension. A nicely stringed racquet can help you put the shuttlecock where you want it. Too loosely strung it will go nowhere and too tightly strung and you wont be able to control it.
Price, this depends on what level you play, the better racquets cost anywhere from £30 to £90 and the less good ones can range from just £10 to around £40. There are some bargains to be had but keep your eye out and pick a racquet thats right for the level you play (unless your loaded ;)!)
Lastly but one with a grip that 1 fits your hand and 2 feels soft and comfortable. This can prevent hand blisters and generally make you feel more relaxed playing. More relaxation will cause less nerves and tension less of this means you can perform better.
My review is mainly about what to look for in a racquet not reviewing specific racquets, i hope this helps you pick the perfect racquet for you!

Summary: enjoy it
