Rebel Sport:
Yonex Muscle Power 5 Badminton Racquet (cost $79.99)
http://www.rebelsport.com.au/ecom/rebel/product_detail.aspx?id=29947&cat=229


I find the badminton racket at StrungOut is cheaper than in Rebel Sports.Maybe you can checkout the StrungOut website/shop and compare sporting goods prices before buying.
You may get lucky if you can negotiate the price with Rebel Sport once you tell them that you found another shop that is selling at a cheaper price.
- Make sure there is stock with the same model that you are planning to buy.
- Get the phone number as Rebel Sport need to call the shop to confirm the price and if they have current stocks.
