How to Choose a Badminton Racket
The things to be considered when choosing the racket is:
1. Weight
2. Balance
3. Shaft Flexibility
Before considering what type of racquet to buy, first consider what type of player you are because every one of the rackets is unique, no two racquets are the same in weight, balance and flexibility, a racquet with more flex means more power but a little less control with stiffer shaft you supply less power, but the racket helps to control the shot with a medium flex you get a good balance of two.
Heavy racket helps the shuttle to travel further if you can generate the head-speed if you lack the strength but have a steady stroke then a head-heavy or an even balanced racket with a flexible shaft would be right for you.
A medium balance racket truly is the best of both worlds
headlight feels excellent if you are on the weaker you can accelerate this type of racquet more easily combine this with a medium or stiff and you have more control and head speed.
– Grip Size: G4 (3.25 Inches)
– Weight: 85g grams
– Head Shape: Isometric
– String Level: NA
– Flexibility: NA
– Playing Level: Intermediate
– Material: Graphite & tungsten
Pros:
1. Counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control.
2. The square-shaped frame is designed to keep vertical strings at a similar length, as well as the horizontal strings to produce an expanded sweet spot in all directions.
3. The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.
4. Aero-box frame combines the solid hitting feel and quick swing.
5. Moulded deep into the layers of graphite where the frame connects with the shaft, the Built-in T-Joint creates a durable and high-strength one-piece frame that is torque-free.
Cons:
1. Stock gutting is below average.
– Grip Size: G4 (3.25 Inches)
– Weight: 2U(90-94.9 grams)
– Head Shape: Traditional Oval
– String Level: 21 pounds
– Flexibility: NA
– Playing Level: Advance
– Material: Graphite & Carbon fibre
Pros:
1. The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact.
2. Built-in T joint
3. The round-shape head with a box-shape frame cross-section gives this racquet a unique and solid feeling.
4. The shaft and body are made from high modulus graphite that is very durable and makes this racquet stiff so you can make precise shots with ease.
Cons:
1. Traditional oval head shape racquets are not easy to control for less-skilled players.
2. Unstrung
– Grip Size: G4 (3.25 Inches)
– Weight: 3U(85-89.9 grams)
– Head Shape: Isometric
– String Level: 26 pounds
– Flexibility: Medium
– Playing Level: Advance
– Material: Graphite
Pros:
1. The Isometric equalizes the length of the main and cross strings in the string-bed, enlarging the sweet spot for more consistent accuracy even on off-centre hits.
2. The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.
3. Aero-box frame combines the solid hitting feel and quick swing.
4. The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest manoeuvrability.
5. Built-in T joint and Head-light racquet.
Cons:
1. Not for attacking players.
2. Stock gutting is below average.
– Grip Size: G4 (3.25 Inches)
– Weight: 3U(85-89.9 grams)
– Head Shape: Isometric
– String Level: NA
– Flexibility: Medium
– Playing Level: Advance
– Material: Graphite, Titanium
Pros:
1. This racquet provides a fast and controlled swing with enhanced repulsion via the New Aero Frame.
2. This racquet is designed for players who force their opponents into the back of the court with extreme speed.
3. The thinner top of the frame sides minimize air resistance for greater head speed, while the thicker sides at the bottom of the head generate maximum repulsion through greater frame stiffness.
4. Built-in T joint.
5. Square Isometric head for a bigger sweet spot.
Cons:
1. Not for defensive players.
