The racket is the most essential equipment of the game. Badminton is a sport that people of all ages prefer playing.
There are usually 3 types of racquets available in India – for beginners, for smashing and for noise reduction. The beginners’ racquet is light weighted and made of graphite.
While the second one is for smashing purpose and is used by professional players, the third one is also for professionals, but for those players who found the noise of hitting the shuttlecock unpleasant. Both these types output a powerful performance.
In my personal experience, the best brands to consider are– Yonex, Cosco and Silver Sports. The top-notch players use Yonex titanium, multifilament and monofilament strings. While Silver Sports offers the best customer care.
For a beginner, the optimum string tension should be 15-20 lbs while for intermediate levels, it should be 20-25 lbs. And advanced players may fix the tension above 25 lbs.
You may check the tension by pressing your palm against the strings and seeing how far your palm sinks. And not to forget, the strings expand in hotter places.
All-rounder shutters can opt for this frame. One of the best selling in the market is the Yonex Carbonex Series.
With all these things in mind, you may also opt for buying your racket online. Way to go, shuttlers!
