New badminton racquet

[SeatIbiza]

After a bit of an incident Friday night, my trusty 25+ year old Carlton bit the dust and the frame snapped when it collided with a nother racquet

As I haven't bought one for many years, not sure where to start really!

Budget of up to £150 - I'd say I'm advanced intermediate and hard hitter. Play every week for around 2 hours.

TIA!

Thanks for this. Believe it or not, it's still on the original strings! I only picked badminton back up just over a year ago now, so it was sat for many years in my garage! I'm truly impressed with it, so was considering sticking with that brand. It's a Carlton Powerblade that they still make so I may take a look at that.

Not sure there is a place near me and I could do with it for Friday night (although the old one still is mostly in one piece!)
