The 8 Best Badminton Rackets For Beginners And Advanced Players – Guidebook

Buying a badminton racket for beginners or advanced players can be useful if you want to play regularly. Badminton is a popular recreational sport and can also be played in a club. However, in order for you to make progress in your game soon, you need the right badminton racket. Here, for example, it is important to consider your own size and the weight of the racket.

To make your decision a little easier, we have compiled a checklist for you, which provides you with all the important topics around the topic of badminton rackets.

Checklist For Badminton Rackets

Weight
  • Depending on your body size, your badminton racket must have different weights.
  • Children ideally use a racket that weighs less than 80 g, for adults it also depends on the type of game.
  • Ladies or people who prefer a very fast style of play choose a racket that weighs no more than 85g. For men and tall players, a racket weighing 85-90 g is also suitable. Beginners’ rackets usually weigh up to 100 g.
Balance
  • Not only the weight, but also the weight distribution is important. The weight can be grip-heavy, head-heavy or balanced.
  • Grip-heavy balance is good for beginners because the racquet has easier handling.
  • Head-heavy rackets are suitable for particularly hard strokes. If you are not yet sure which playing style suits you better, choose a balanced racket for the beginning.
Material And Stringing
  • The thicker the stringing, the higher the air resistance. If you are a beginner, you are better off with a thick stringing of approx. 0.8 mm , as this will not break as quickly.
  • Professional rackets are often made of carbon or titanium. They are very elastic, but quickly become porous. As a beginner or leisure racket, a frame made of aluminum is sufficient. The material deforms faster than carbon, but does not usually break.
Head Shape And Grip
  • Small rackets have a lower air resistance. They are suitable for a particularly fast ball change.
  • Wider isometric rackets make it easier to catch the ball due to the wider frame and are therefore more suitable for beginners.
  • Again, if you’re not sure which shape fits your playing style, opt for a medium size.
  • To find out if the club handle is suitable, place your hand around the handle. The middle and ring fingers should not touch the ball of your hand. If the grip does not fit perfectly, you can increase the distance between your fingers and the ball of your hand by using a grip tape.

FAQ For Badminton Rackets

What is a badminton racket?

A badminton racket is a piece of sports equipment that is used in badminton. This is a so-called backstroke game with a shuttlecock. This is played back and forth between the two to four players. Badminton is a popular recreational sport. However, the game can also be played professionally in a club.

How do you hold the racket in badminton?

There are different racket holds that can be used when playing the game. These include the universal grip, the thumb grip and the rush grip. Basically, however, a grip far forward on the racket allows you to play with feeling. On the other hand, if you want to hit powerfully, you should grip the handle further back.

What should I look for when buying a badminton racket?

A good badminton racket should not be too heavy and should be easy to handle. You should also pay attention to the general condition, so that the racket does not show damage after a short time and is thus unusable for playing. Size and stringing are also important criteria that you should also consider.

How long is a badminton racket?

There are clearly defined rules about how long a badminton racket can be. The racket frame must not exceed a length of 680 mm. The width, on the other hand, should not exceed 230 mm.

How much does a badminton racket cost?

A high-quality racket can cost up to 100 euros or more. Of course, there are also cheap copies from 30 euros to buy. You should therefore consider in advance for what use and how often you want to use the badminton racket.

How much does a badminton racket weigh?

Badminton rackets usually weigh between 85 to 100 grams. For children, however, rackets with a lower weight (preferably less than 80 grams) are suitable.

What kind of stringing does a badminton racket have?

The stringing hardness for beginners should be about 9 kilograms. In recreational use, the hardness can also vary. Therefore, in the course of the game, you can also decide for yourself whether you want to loosen the racket or stretch it even harder.

What is the best badminton racket?

This usually depends on whether you plan to use the racket regularly in a club or professionally, or occasionally with your child or friends in your free time. However, if you plan to play badminton often, you should purchase a high quality badminton racket.

Which badminton racket is suitable for beginners?

Grip-heavy balance is particularly suitable for beginners, because the racket is easy to use. It should therefore not be too heavy and weigh about 85 to a maximum of 100 grams.

Which badminton racket is suitable for advanced players?

Head-heavy rackets, on the other hand, are suitable for advanced players, as they allow precise and powerful strokes. Here the weight can vary between 85 and 90 grams.
