in my opinion, for a badminton racket, light is not everything. i agree if u say proace is light, but most of proace racket cannot give a good bounce action. a good racket should bounce the shuttle, so that it can be an advantage for u in a sense of add some speed of the shuttle. i cannot find this features in proace.. if u see yonex or carlton, some of the model is more weight but more expensive than proace which are more lighter. this is because of the material that can be a good bouncer to the shuttle... its just my opinion. no offense
