Badminton Racquet photography

I was just testing photographing my racquet using a F4 Zoom lens at wide focal length of 35mm using APS-C or 50mm on Full frame camera.

I was researching whether to get a dedicated macro lens or just use a potrait lens with 50mm, F 1.8?

Perhaps instead of natural light, I could use better lighting equipment.

Jetspeed S 12 under natural light.

Handheld shot without tripod, shutter speed auto, low ISO and aperture of 4.

Close up frame hand held, although lens has optical stabilization.

Whats setup you use for badminton racquet photography?
