Chose a racket for intermediate player / no competition

Hi all

I'm currently looking for the right racket, and hell it's not easy.:confused:

First of all, who am I ? I played 3years at high school, started local competition but quited quickly and havent played for more than ten years. I started over 2 years ago but un-regularly and now I'm playing 2 times a week since a couple of month.
I've also been playng tennis as a child and table tennis before getting back to badminton thus I don't have a good badminton technique since I'm more a general raquet game guy than a good technitian in one sport.

I have two troubles :
- I struggle to shoot from line to line
- i struggle with backhand shot from the back of the field
it end up that I give point this way:mad:


I actually have two rackets:
- Babolat fuse lite, 97g, flex: medium balance 300
- Babollat speedster 3.0, 95g, flex: normal (so medium I beleive); balance 295

the first one is a cheap one (30$) and the second one is 10 years old
I hate the first one and I can't play with it, the second is better but I lack power.


I was thus thinking to get a new racket (virtually without budget limit, at least to identify what suit best for me)

what would you recoment ?

I was considering getting a flexible one with neutral balance to help gaining power

but now I see there are
super-flexible, flexible, medium-flexible, medium, medium-hard, hard and very-hard,
handle very heavy, handle heavy, neutral, head heavy, head very heavy
plus not everybody agree where neutral is 285-290

and I hear tha there are some flexible with handle heavy seriously powerfull

So I'm lost

Any recomendation ?

Thank's

PS1: I have checked many models but there are still so many so asking suggestion from this list makes no sense yet
PS2: I mostly play double, not by choise but because of fiel availability, but I wana be able to play single as well with the racket
