Hi, for starter, get yourself a middle flexible or flexible racket.
That means it's not too hard for you to bend the racket shaft.
Try take a look at Li-Ning UC2300A, not a bad racket and also quite flexible.

warrhh damn cheap !! malaysia mia price memang cut throat.. arc 7 here selling 6500 baht !
knn should had give u a call before i made my arc 10 purchase ahhaa eh if not mistaken the code meant for marketing purpose only, build quality should be the same.

sifu if smash lacking arh maybe can try string it at higher lbs... i think i'm gonna get my arc 10 restring to 27~28lbs  soon

with limited budget, look at apacs, thier clone series of yonex is definitely better then yonex low end series !
if you want a light weight and easy maneuvering racket try apacs edgesaber Z you can get it @ rm95 in trade zone.

basically, most of the apacs racquet are below RM150.
choose those with medium or medium soft shaft
don't string it using too high tension at first..around 22/23lbs
you can increase later
