Badminton Racket Basics

Exclusive Summary About Badminton Racket By Antony Cassidy

Badminton rackets can be expensive so it would be wise to know the basics before you buy. A less expensive badminton racket will do just fine. The lightest badminton racket i have come across is the Karakal SL-70 and it weighs just 70 grams.

The balance of a badminton racket refers to just that. There are three kinds, head heavy, head light, and evenly balanced. Head heavy rackets offer more weight at the top of the swing, giving more power and stability on contact with the shuttle.

Head light rackets will enable you to swing the racket quicker, but less weight means less power and stability. Even balanced rackets give you a neutral feel.

If you can hit the shuttle in the middle of the racket head you will be hitting the sweet spot.

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. The problem with online badminton racket reviews is that they are all personal. Every badminton player is different, with different style, technique and ability. Only by knowing yourself will you be able to tell if a racket is going to suit your game.

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. 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.

Strings change the behaviour of rackets, period. If you don't know the importance of stringing tension, then just reading the review will be of little use to you.
