I have a Gamma X6 tennis stringer and is it possible to restring a badminton racket assuming I have the correct clamps?
thanks for the feedback, but what modifications would have to be made?

Question by kennychen: Does the shaft of a badminton racket gets less stiff after using it over time?
I’m just curious because i’ve been asking myself did the shaft of my yonex arcsaber 10′s shaft got more flexible due to extensive playing.
Since I love badminton, the racket is the piece I really care about.

Difference between lighter badminton racket versus a heavier one?

by admin | 2 Comments | Filed in Training

Question by Dav479: Difference between lighter badminton racket versus a heavier one?
I ‘m new. what are advantages of a light badminton racket and the advantages of a heavier one? Can a lighter racket give off a strong smash? I am referring to the weight of the head and shaft.

Best answer:

Answer by Andy
Very interesting question.
The answer is “it depends”.
It’s all about the player and his/her handling of the racket. That is why everyone finds one that suits him/her style and strengths.
Look, heavier racket will obviously need more power to move it faster… if you are very thin, it may result in arm/wrist fatigue, but it will give you better smash. On the other hand, if you have a lighter head, the smash will need more power to compensate for that. I prefer a lighter one, because I’m used to it, but I’ve tried heavy-headed rackets before and found that my wrist get fatigue sooner. My buddies use them because they are used to heavy ones.
Either way, it depends on your style. If you are looking for a perfect weight distribution, I would recommend using different balances (light-head vs heavy-head) for about 2-3 weeks continuously to feel the difference. If you like one type over another, continue using that.
Good luck!

Question by niiro13: What kind of ink is used on badminton racket logos?
Hi! I was wondering what kind of ink is applied on badminton racket logos. I know that there is stencil ink, but apparantly they leave color on the shuttles, which is not the same as the factory inked rackets.

what is the best badminton racket for me?

by admin | 1 Comment | Filed in Training

Question by meecaihel: what is the best badminton racket for me?
what is the best badminton racket for me under 100 dollars?

i am more of a defensive player and i drop and lunge a lot. i heard nanospeed is a good for defensive players, is that true? what other rackets are defensive?

Best answer:

Answer by Michael
For defensive players a balanced or head light racket is better as it allows you to react quicker. In addition, if you don’t generate enough power with your wrist, a racket that has higher flex is better than a stiffer racket.

Not all Nanospeeds are for defensive play. Consult the chart in the link below. You should probably pick a racket that is towards the bottom left of the chart. Note that the chart is a bit old, you may be able to ask your sports store for the latest chart.

Good luck

Badminton Racket Reviews

Badminton Racket Reviews

If your looking to buy a new badminton racket, chances are your going to look for some sort of review of it. There are hundreds of these reviews on the internet, and the best to look are the forums. This is all well and good, but you need to view these with a little caution.

The problem with online badminton racket reviews is that they are all personal. One size does not fit all. Every badminton player is different, with different style, technique and ability. Here is where the problem lies. If one person says that a badminton racket gives them more power, or control, how do you know it will do the same for you?

You don’t. What you need to do is know your own game inside out. Only by knowing yourself will you be able to tell if a racket is going to suit your game.

Let me give you an example. The most expensive badminton rackets are designed for control, they predominantly have very stiff flexibility, which means you have to generate the power with your technique. These kinds of racquet are for advanced players, the manufacturer assumes you are good enough to use them, and you have to be, or else your game will probably get worse with these advanced rackets.

Now if you are a beginner or a novice player, reading an advanced players’ review of these badminton rackets will not be much use to you. Many of the reviews are based on the top end models because people have spent a lot of money on them, and they want to tell the world all about them.

There are also other factors to consider, the most important being the string tension used in the review. Strings change the behaviour of rackets, period. Make sure the reviewer states the string tension used, this will give you more of an idea if it relates to your own game. If you don’t know the importance of stringing tension, then just reading the review will be of little use to you. As i said before, you need to know your own game and ability beforehand.

This may sound a little negative, but take badminton racket reviews with a pinch of salt, they can only ever be a rough guide to you.

Choosing The Best Badminton Racket

Choosing The Best Badminton Racket

There are two ways to love a game; watching and playing. If you are fond of the latter then it is imperative for you to have equipment that helps you enjoy the game to the maximum.

Selecting a badminton racket is based on evaluation, analysis, experience, intuition and feel. I will discuss a few basics here; try to make the best out of it. Your equipment and its usage evolve, along your playing technique. Subsequently, each of us badminton lovers will have different way of selection rackets. Let’s say two years from now, if you continue playing regularly and frequently, your approach to game will be way improved.  

Mainstream brands are Yonex, Carlton, Wilson, Head and Prince along with few minor ones. While you are still trying to get a hang of your game, it is good to find a racket that becomes an extension of your body, so that you can apply your reflexes with perfect ease.

I will begin with racket strings; strings are the meat of your racket, this is the point of contact and this is where, you will enjoy the game and its feel. Backhand, forehand, serve, smash, you’ll love it all. Hence, if you choose the right set of strings, the game will grow on you and you will start feeling these strings more vibrantly. Strings are of two basic types. Thicker and thinner, while I would not like you to delve in the details of measurements, I would inform you enough to match your skill profile. High string tension and low string tension are the two ways to knit the strings. While high tension can be good for speed and power; low tension can be good for accuracy and control.  I would remind you again that it is subjective and debatable because it essentially dependent on your physique, posture, wrist power and the various muscles that co-ordinate when you pull that smash on shuttle.

The body of a badminton racket can be found in full steel, carbon fibre composite (graphite re-enforced plastic), basic ones still can be found in low graded wood, which is not durable and not enjoyable to play with. Carbon fiber is good for all.

Badminton rackets are found in many shapes, two extensively available are oval and isometric. You can pick them based on your personal liking and style; it’s just a matter of taste. The size and shape (with respect to limits) are standardized. Oval shape has been revered since many decades but isometric is gaining widespread popularity and thus is available in highly stylized designs, and colors.

Choosing appropriate rackets that suit your speed and physique is vital to avoid injuries. Thus, when selecting, make sure you try the racket yourself before purchase it, internet buying is highly not recommended. Before purchasing, whip it around see if it is not heavy on your wrist, balances well and easy on your shoulders. Check the strings, how you’d like to prefer them, a medium tension knot is good for all. And by the time you preferences will emerge, you will know what your ideal choice should be.
