Badminton rackets

Which badminton racket should you choose for beginners?

To get off to a good start as an inexperienced player, it's important to choose a badminton racket suited to your level. To be suitable, the racquet should weigh between 80 and 85 grams. This lightness will give you better maneuverability during your training sessions. Racquets made of graphite are recommended for their lightness and robustness. As for stringing, a soft string is indeed recommended for beginners, as it offers greater forgiveness and comfort when hitting. As for racket balance, it may be preferable to choose a balanced or slightly overhead racket to facilitate movement, especially for beginners.

How do I find the right badminton racket?

To find the ideal model among our wide range of badminton rackets, it's important to study the various technical features, as they have a considerable impact on balance, maneuverability and power. Take the time to compare racket weights and materials (graphite, aluminum, etc.). These elements play an essential role in the racquet's grip. It's also important to check frame shape, shaft, grip and comfort to find a model that's right for you. Don't forget the importance of badminton shoes which offer essential grip and support, as well as quality shuttlecocks for an optimal playing experience.

Power or precision: which should you choose for your racket?

As you begin to master the strokes and techniques of badminton, it's necessary to choose a more high-end, professional racket. If you're looking for power for your game, a head-balanced, fast, flexible or semi-rigid model may be appropriate. Players who prefer precision will be more at ease with a handle-balanced, rigid racquet with a small headsize. Discover our stock of badminton rackets and benefit from fast delivery with DECATHLON !
