Badminton Racket Advice

Hi
I am looking at getting a new badminton racket and wanted some advice. I currently play once a week with friends and am not looking at play competitively but would like to upgrade my badminton racket.
I currently have a Carlton Enhance 40 Racket which has been ok but I would like to upgrade to something lighter and with a graphite/carbon frame.
My budget is around £30 and I have seen a few models but am undecided. The models I have seen are below:
Carlton Airlite Power Racket 85g - £24.99
Dunlop Graviton AP 8300 Racket 83g - £29.99
Yonex Nanoray 9 Racket 88g - £30
Yonex Arcsaber SigmaRacket 87g - £34.99
If there are any other models that anyone can advise then this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

To be honest, its horses for courses.
What I recommend would suit my play style, swing and strength.
Best bet would be to either go into shops and swing some around, or ask friends to play a game with theirs, and decide from there.
String tension is almost as important as racket, once you have the right one!0 -
