The correct way to buy badminton rackets

　　Badminton is loved by everyone because it is suitable for a wide range of people, both men and women, old and young. However, for novices, most people may not know how to choose a racket that suits them. Here is the correct way to buy a badminton racket for everyone to understand.

　　Choose according to your own playing style

　　For example, when playing singles, it is suitable to choose an extended racket. If you are an attacking player, you should choose a slightly heavier and medium-hard racket. In doubles, it is best to choose a racket of standard length. If you are a defensive player, you should choose a lighter racket.

　　Are the strings evenly installed?

　　Each block of crossed strings should be the same size, and the tightness of each string should be consistent. When you get one, you first have to look at the shape of its racket head. Generally speaking, rackets are divided into two types. Currently, there are traditional egg-shaped rackets and flat racket frames with square heads on the market. The shape of a badminton racket determines the size of its sweet spot, which is the best hitting area on the racket surface. When the ball lands in the sweet spot, it can give you enough hitting power and ball control, so the size of the sweet spot is very important to players. It makes it easier for players to hit high-quality balls.

　　The weight of the racket should be appropriate

　　In fact, it is not that the lighter the racket, the better. Although the swing speed of a lighter racket is faster, masters will feel that they cannot exert enough force when smashing the ball, which will affect the power of the ball.

　　Check the overall structure of the racket

　　After you get the racket, wave it around and see if it shakes your hand. The racket that shakes your hand must be because the racket shaft (the connection part between the racket handle and the racket head, this part is now made of carbon alloy steel) is too hard ； If the hand does not shake, it means the racket stick is more elastic. You can also hold the handle of the racket with one hand and the top of the racket head with the other hand to break it. The racket is slightly bent, which proves that the racket shaft is more elastic.

　　Choose according to the size of each person’s hand

　　People with large hands may feel uncomfortable holding a thin or square handle.； People with small hands are not suitable for holding a thick racket handle. Finally, you can check whether the racket head is deformed, cracked or overall bent.
