I've noticed my supplier always presents even balance rackets to beginners. Low price tag, but as long as you have no idea what your preference will be, and what your wrist can handle best, even balance seems like a logic choice to me. But I don't want to push you into any direction, this is just what I have noticed. And indeed, this is the time to build up a good relation ship with a supplier. In the end, there's benefit for both of you (as I have learned). Think shuttles, tournaments, new equipment, clothing, shoes, sponsoring, … you get the picture. Just be aware how for this can go, or how far you want this to go. Just one example that pops into my mind: Sho Sasaki: japanese player, sponsored by Yonex, plays with a Wilson racket. Sure this must have been the subject of a few meetings, right ?
