hey myhat,

here's my advice. well if you don't mind models which are about lets say 3  years old, my advice would come in handy. i used to own a Gosen racket. model is 777i. go check out on that racket. although it is a little old, its a great racket, its able to support up to about 26 - 27 pounds of tension and its actually the racket which brought me to the semi finals of an U-16 OPEN tournament back about 2 years ago in lower high school. i'm not sure if you can still find the racker, but if you do find it, go grab it. it should cost you way below your budget. roughly about RM100 is all you gotta fork out for this baby.

i have a friend who opens a store very near to KL Central. i'll direct you. go straight after the Bangsar LRT station and you'll see a few shop houses on the left. there are 2 badminton shops there. go to the one further down the road. the guy's name is Ah Lee. go and check out the stuff there. i get all my badminton stuff there at really good prices (and there is no fluke to the low prices btw) i've checked whether he has the Gosen 777i but he doesn't. you can go check out the other stuff there tho. he will not cheat you i guarantee. after all as evidence, i went there to get my Prince Oversize stringed with BG66 strings at only RM 23. most people would give you a highly inaccurate tension when u string ur rackets but his is mostly accurate. the strings doesn't run as fast compared to the other stores which i've been to in all of my 9 years of playing badminton. i never fail to visit his shop at least once a month.

Good Luck
