How to choose a badminton racket?
With such a huge variety of rackets from leading brands, choosing the best badminton racket for you is a time consuming task, but don´t worry about time, just focus on choosing the right one. However, you can choose the right Yonex badminton racket by keeping the factors mentioned below. Take a look below at some key factors;
Balance
All badminton rackets are classified based on their balance. The three main categories are Head Heavy, Head Light and Even Balance. Head Heavy rackets have the weight shifted towards the head. Head Light rackets have the weight shifted towards the handle. The Even Balance
badminton racket has the weight evenly distributed throughout the racket.
Shaft flexibility
When choosing badminton rackets, shaft flexibility is the most important factor and just as crucial as balance.
Badminton rackets are available in medium, flexible, and rigid categories. It depends on the speed and movement of your arm/wrist. Simply put, the faster your arm speed, the more leverage you can get from a stiffer shaft. Conversely, the slower your arm/wrist moves, the more likely you can benefit from a flexible shaft.
Rigidity
To ensure explosive turning speed, a stiffer axle bends and unfolds rapidly. The stiffer shaft gives the player maximum power and control.
Flexibility
A flexible shaft can bend and unfold much more easily than a rigid shaft. Therefore, a flexible shaft allows players to bend and unfold the racket to the required level.
