Rackets

Badminton racket weight

Badminton rackets weigh between 54 and 94 grams. The weight of a badminton racket is indicated by the Latin letter “U” and a number. The marking is usually indicated on the cap. As you can see from the table, the lower the number, the heavier the racket, for example, a 3U racket is heavier than a 4U racket.

Racket selection

• We recommend adhering to the following principles: A heavier badminton racquet will give you more power, while a lighter one will give you more maneuverability. A feature of heavy badminton rackets is that it is more difficult to make technically accurate strikes with them. Also, a heavy racket can cause fatigue in the hand during prolonged intense play. There are training rackets weighing more than 100 grams. These badminton rackets are designed to train the muscles of the wrist and forearm.

Badminton racket handle size Rackets differ not only in weight, but also in the size of the handle. The handle size of a badminton racket is indicated by the letter "G" and a number. There are 6 racket sizes: G1 - G6. The smaller the number, the larger the handle. The handle size is usually listed on the racquet cap in combination with the racquet weight, such as 3UG4. Most racquets are made in G4 and G5 handle sizes. If you are not sure what size badminton handle you need, we recommend getting a racquet with a thinner handle, as you can always add extra grip to increase the size. Winding on the racket (grip) is also used to provide a better grip on the racket. Often, when buying a new racket, the flu is immediately wound.

Badminton racket balance

The balance of a racket, or the balance of a racket, is determined by the distribution of the mass of the racket between its head and handle. Depending on the balance, there are three categories of badminton rackets. Head-Heavy badminton rackets: Head-Heavy badminton rackets are designed for players who prefer an attacking style of play.

tyle of play. With such a racket, the center of gravity is shifted to the rim of the racket, which contributes to an increase in the force of impacts and a greater attack efficiency. At the same time, with a head-balanced racket, it is more difficult to play defense due to less control of maneuverability and it is more difficult to make a quick exchange of blows. If you are an experienced player with good technique and prefer an attacking style, we recommend that you purchase a Head-Heavy badminton racket.

Badminton rackets with neutral balance (Even-Balance): The Even-Balance badminton racket is a versatile tool for playing a wide variety of games.The neutral balance of the racket, i.e. the even distribution of its mass between the head and the handle provides the badminton player with a combination of high punching power, optimal maneuverability and accuracy.

The stiffness of a badminton racket's shaft determines the amount of control the racquet has during play. Manufacturers of badminton rackets implement four types of racket stiffness: Highly flexible Flexible Medium Stiff When choosing a racket, you should rely on the physical strength of your wrist and your sports experience and level of training. A stiff racquet has more impact energy potential, provides more control and impact power, but only players with a fast and strong hand can unleash it. If the athlete's hand physical characteristics, playing experience, and training level are more of a beginner or intermediate level, a hard and very hard racket will be less effective in hitting hard. A flexible racquet is less demanding on the athletes technique and fitness, but such a racquet will generate less power on impact, reducing control. The material from which the badminton racket is made Materials and alloys used to make badminton rackets iron;aluminum;alloy of aluminum and graphite; graphite.

If you are planning to play all the time or are purchasing a racket for a badminton player who trains on a regular basis, we recommend purchasing only rackets made from graphite,because other materials have certain disadvantages. For example, metal racquets are easily deformed by the rim (from string tension or impact), and the racquet may need to be replaced quickly.

Therefore, even if you are a beginner and are buying your first badminton racquet (or planning to get a racquet as a gift), we recommend purchasing a graphite racquet as the most reliable and durable option. If you purchase a racket for occasional, infrequent outdoor games, rackets made from other materials will be a good option for you. Most likely, you will not feel a big difference in quality, but you can save money. Results: A well-trained athlete will suit Stiff and Medium racquets. If you have an attacking style, you should choose a head-heavy racquet. If you have a defensive playing style, you should choose a racket with a balance in the handle (Head-Light), and for a mixed style of play, a racket with a neutral balance (Even-Balance) is suitable. Highly flexible and flexible rackets are suitable for beginner athletes.
