Experts would suggest to purchase one that is not too heavy, unless you are in the category of players who have much stronger wrists and can therefore make use of the weight of the racket to extract more power from it. Heavier rackets are mostly preferred by these players. If your wrist muscle is not strong enough, you will tend to use more arm movements rather than your wrist to hit the shuttle, which will lead you to develop bad habits. The reasonable priced rackets are usually quite heavy because they are made of cheaper material. Don't be overly economical.

Choose a grip size that you feel comfortable with. Players who like to rally and make use of deception usually prefer a smaller grip so that the racket is easier to turn in their hands. Attacking players, on the other hand, prefer bigger grips as they need to hold the racket more tightly to generate power.

Buy a head-cover with your racket and use it whenever you are not playing. Remember not to store your racket close to the central heating radiators or leave it exposed to sunlight inside a car. Treat your badminton racket with respect at all times.
