Weight
85 gr +/- 3gr.
Weight is expressed in grams. Racquets range in weight from 60 grams to over 100 grams, and are classified into "U" weight ranges. The lighter the racket, the more maneuverable and comfortable it will be, the less traumatic it will be for the arm, and the more arm speed it will provide, but the less power it will have. On the contrary, the heavier the racket, the more powerful it will be, but the less comfortable it will be.
Flexibility
Semi-stiff.
Flexibility is defined by the shaft's ability to deform when struck. A racket's rigidity ranges from flexible to rigid. The more flexible the shaft, the greater the forgiveness and length of the shuttlecock, but the less speed. On the contrary, the stiffer the shaft, the more repulsion it will offer, but the greater the arm speed required, and the less forgiving it will be of hitting errors.
Balance
Neutral (295 mm +/- 5 mm).
Balance is the distribution of the racquet's weight. It is indicated in millimeters and measured from the bottom of the handle to the balance point. The longer the handle, the more maneuverable and responsive the racquet will be, perfect for a defensive or doubles player. On the contrary, the higher the head of the racquet, the more power it will offer, ideal for offensive players. On the other hand, it will feel heavier and more difficult to handle.
Composition
HM graphite.
The composition of a badminton racket influences its price. Steel and/or aluminum rackets are solid, heavy and suitable for leisure use. Graphite/aluminum and full graphite rackets are lighter and more popular with advanced beginners. Finally, rackets made of High-Modulus Graphite and other technologies such as tungsten are designed for expert players.
Length
675 mm.
The length of a children's racket is measured in millimeters and varies according to the age of the player. For a child between 4 and 6 years of age, we recommend using a 540 mm snowshoe, and between 7 and 11 years of age, a 620 mm snowshoe. However, as soon as the child becomes more experienced, we recommend using an adult snowshoe.
Grip size
Size 2 --> G4 = medium (85-89 mm)
Grip size is expressed in millimeters. Racquet handle sizes range from 75 millimetres to over 90 millimetres and are classified in size ranges expressed in "G". The thicker the handle, the easier it is to grip, but the more difficult it is to change grip. The thinner the handle, the more dexterity it offers, and the greater the power of the fingers that can be used to impart speed to the racket.
Original rope
The rackets are strung with Babolat Ifeel 70 black string with a gauge of 0.70 mm.
Original and recommended voltage
Original tension 8-9 kg.
Brand-recommended tension 8-12 kg.
Original strung snowshoes are tensioned between 8 and 10 kg, depending on the loss of tension due to transport. Each brand then specifies a recommended tension, usually between 8 and 12 kg. This is to avoid any breakage of the frame when stringing or in the event of a shock or string breakage. Finally, some snowshoes with reinforced frames can withstand tensions of up to 16 kg.
Stringing plan: upright * across, Stringing instructions for 72 eyelets: B = down, H = up
22*23. Rope instruction in 4 knots.
Upright: start at the top center and string alternating every 5 uprights left then right to B9. Go through B12 to H11, then back to H10 to go down to B10 and finish by tying the knot at B8. Crossings: start in the middle of the lower crossings from B20 to B8 and tie a knot at B9. Continue the top crosspieces from B21 to H7 and finish by tying a knot at H6.
