Buying the right badminton racquet

Buying the right badminton racquet:

1. Weight: A good quality racquet weighs between 83 – 100 gms. A lightweight racquet is easier to swing where as a heavy weight racquet is more stable. Usually racquets with heavier weight are preferred for Beginners and Intermediate whereas light weight racquets are used by professionals.

 

2. Grip Size: The grip sizes starts from G2 with G2 being the smallest and G5 being the largest grip size. Usually a thicker grip is preferred for Beginners and Intermediate players whereas professional players use thinner grips. Also, attacking players prefer a larger grip which provides a good hold where as players who want to disguise their shots prefer thinner grip so that they can quickly rotate the racquet in their hand.

3. Head Shape: Most badminton racquets have one of two head shapes: Isometric or Classic. Isometric is slightly wider than the classic and this design increases the sweet spot of the racket. The classic head shape is more oval, more like an egg shape and has a smaller sweet spot.
