Material Description:
Ultra-Carbon
Made
of ultra strong material, the racket has optimum rigidity to bear higher
tension for exact and steady strokes. The racket made of ultra rigid carbon
fibers with higher strength and rigidity, sustainable for more string tension,
and reducible to the risk of frame deformation.
Aero Tec-Beam System
With
support of advanced calculation system, the rackets are made with extreme low
air resistance and high intensity to enable made with extreme low air
resistance and high intensity to enable the player’s performance in various
ways.
Based
on Aero Tec-Beam system, support of advanced calculation and gathered
practicing data, the structure and shape of rackets frame section have extreme
low drag coefficient and high intensity, to enable the player’s performance in
various shots.
Dynamic-Optimum Frame
All-round
optimized design improves racket mechanical structure for more efficient attack
and defense system.
The
sweet point extends upward and the hitting point is moved higher. The effective
defense area is enlarged for severe smash by dynamic-optimum frame. The hitting
velocity is improved considerably with widened stringing area and increased bounce
strength.
How to
choose Badminton Racket:
This guide is intended
for beginners who are new to badminton or for anyone that needs some help with
choosing a badminton racket. To begin with, we will talk about the
different specifications of a racket and what they mean.
For people who are new
to badminton or do not know much about badminton rackets, they often do the
following:
-buy the most expensive racket
-ask for what the pros/their favourite player is using
-asking what the best racket is or which one is better
As a result, they will
end up unsatisfied with their racket as it may not be suitable for them and may
lead to injuries down the road. They might even buy a new racket and end
up spending more money than required.
Before we start talking
about the different aspects of a badminton racket, familiarize yourself with
the name of the different parts so you can easily find where to look on the
racket.
What
you should consider when choosing a badminton racket:
1. Overall
Weight
2. Balance
3. Flex
4. Head
shape
5. Grip
Size
6. Singles
or Doubles
7. Take
home message
1. OVERALL WEIGHT
When comparing the weight of two rackets, the heavier one will
give you more power. I assume we all know this from high school physics
that Force = Mass x Acceleration !
The downside is that a heavier badminton racket is harder to
maneuver and causes more fatigue on the arm/shoulder.
Racket weights can be categorized into several
categories:
U: 95-99g
2U: 90-94g
3U: 85-89g
4U: 80-84g
5U: 75-79g
6U (F): 70-74g
The weight of a racket can be found on the cone and is often
seen together with the grip sizing. (eg.3UG5) The most common weight you will
find for most rackets are 3U and 4U. Nowadays, rackets are getting
lighter and will come in 5U and 6U as well. U and 2U are less common and
are usually found in training rackets meant to workout the wrist and
forearm muscles. Some training rackets can even weigh over 100g!
2. BALANCE
Badminton rackets have three types of balances. The
balance of a racket can usually be found written somewhere on the shaft.
HEAD HEAVY BALANCE
BADMINTON RACKETS:
HEAVY BALANCE BADMINTON RACKETS:
Head heavy rackets give you the extra edge when hitting a smash
as the head weight contributes to the momentum of a players swing and gives
them more power in their shots. The downside is that with a heavier head,
your reaction to shots might be a bit sluggish when on the defense. The
added head weight will also be taxing on your wrist when hitting quick drives
and defensive blocks.
HEAD LIGHT BALANCE
BADMINTON RACKETS:
Head light rackets will give you the upper hand when engaging in
fast drive exchanges A lighter head gives players the ability to quickly
react to shots, heightening their defensive abilities. A downside to a
lighter head is that you won't have as much power in your smashes but you will
have better control and placement of your half smashes with a quick flick of
the wrist.
EVEN BALANCE BADMINTON RACKETS:
Even balanced rackets are in between the other two types.
They are quite versatile in that they can still pack a punch when smashing and
be quick enough to react to defensive shots. They are all-rounded and are
suitable for most type of players.
YOU MAY ADJUST THE BALANCE POINT OF A RACKET BY:
· Adding
lead tape to the head of a racket to make it more head heavy
OR
· adding
more layers of grip to make it more head light
3. SHAFT FLEX
Badminton Rackets range from flexible, medium flex, stiff, to
extra stiff. When choosing a racket, you should take into consideration
the speed of your swing so that it matches with the rackets flexibility. The
ideal stiffness is proportional to the racket speed you can generate. A
flexible racket will not recoil fully before the shuttle is hit, meaning
the energy in flexing the racket is essentially wasted. However, if the racket
is too stiff for your swing speed, it will not be flexed enough, and thus won't
contribute any extra power. An advanced player with excellent technique should
use a stiff racket, whilst a beginner with a slower swing would be better off
with a more flexible racket.
FLEXIBLE
SHAFT
|
ADVANTAGES |
|
-a
flexible shaft will give the player easy access to power without exerting
much strength (little energy needed to bend the shaft) -can
easily defend smashes since you have little time to put strength into your
shot |
|
DISADVANTAGES |
|
-less
control of shuttle placement since the shaft is easily bent, leading to
uncertainty in the flight direction of the shuttlecock. -return
of shots are slower since the shuttle stays on the string bed for a longer
time due to the flex of the shaft -low
potential for power |
STIFF SHAFT
|
ADVANTAGES |
|
-return
of shots are faster since the shuttle does not stay on the string bed as long
due to stiff flex of shaft -more
control of shuttle placement since the shaft is stiff and will give instant
rebound of the shuttle -higher
potential power |
|
DISADVANTAGES |
|
-a
stiff shaft will require a stronger swing and good technique in order to
generate power -requires
good use of wrist action -more
suited for intermediate to advanced players |
4. HEAD SHAPE
Badminton rackets can have either an Isometric head shape
(Square) or Conventional head shape (Oval)
The only difference between an isometric and conventional frame
is the size of the SWEET SPOT.
The sweet spot is a specific area on the string bed of the
racket (usually the center of the string bed). Hitting the sweet spot will give
you maximum power.
Isometric frames have a larger sweet spot than conventional oval
frames.
Conventional frames are practically non-existant nowadays and
are replaced by the isometric frames.
5. GRIP SIZE
Just like the weight of a racket, grip sizes also vary.
They are usually found on the cone of the racket along with the racket's
weight. The following are grip sizes (circumference in inches) that Yonex
and Victor follows:
G1: 4 in
G2: 3.75 in
G3: 3.5 in
G4: 3.25 in
G5: 3 in
G6: 2.75 in
The grip size for every player is different as it is dependent
on their personal preference. Smaller grip sizes will allow for more
finger power/wrist action to be used whereas a bigger grip size will utilize
more of the arm.
Most rackets are available in G5 and G4, with bigger grip sizes
G3 and G2 available in European countries. If you don't know which size
to get, it is recommended that you get the smallest grip size available to you
as you can always add on an over grip to make it bigger if necessary. And
also because you are limited by how much you can decrease the grip size.
6. SINGLES OR DOUBLES
Another aspect you may want to consider is the type of game that
you play. For example, if you are mostly a singles player, you would want
to lean towards more head heavy rackets. Since singles is not as fast
paced as doubles, you have more time to react to shots and therefore the extra
weight of the head would not be a problem.
For those of you who mostly play doubles, an even balanced
racket or head light racket would be preferred. This will allow you to
keep up with the fast paced rallies in doubles.
