Exactly, there's a lot to learn about a sport other than hitting back and forth. gonna know the basics, not just hit for the sake of hitting the bird / ball
Buy good equipment doesn't equal to good player. Anybody with skills / training can easily tapau a noob with cheap equipment.
Asics gel rocket 10 also good enough la. Rm 250. Yeah newbie use cheap racket better. If you play doubles, always clash rackets with your partner. Some high end rackets can break quite easily though. Start low, maybe rm 100+ to 200+ can settle la. Bruh I'm using 2nd hand li ning bought from the badminton shop where I usually play at. RM 80. For a year plus dy still going strong even winning players with RM 500++ rackets... expensive rackets don't mean shit when you can't play.
The technology used to produce the racket, the material and all..
Manufacturers claimed it would produce higher smash speeds, better control etc etc.. but to us regular club / social players.. it wouldn't make a difference la.
For beginner yes asics gel rocket 10 or 11 good as starter. But since TS afford and list expensive shoe and high bajet, so just rekemen him high end lulz!
But ya different people different choice, some newbie who afford they straight away get high end shoe and racket. For some they get cheaper shoe and racket. Nextime after gain good skill and play better then can buy better racket and shoe.
Most important in badminton is correct technique. If u can win by just play setting the shuttle for opponent and less smash, cheapo racket can already. If u a good powerful smasher, good racket give better power.
If me i depend on opponent. If opponent i can makan without power play, i use my old RM80 carbonex racket also can. But if meet powerful player and need do lot of powerful smash then i use good racket.
But now i dont really go for high end racket liao. I only use bajet racket yonex Astrox 9. Bought during promotion few years back RM150. My badminton group mostly use high end also i can win them most of time.
Many people thought using expensive racket they immediately can play as good as Lindan. Lulz!
