What racket do I need for badminton?

Answer 1

Firstly, to get a racket, it really comes down to your style of play. If you want to play as a heavy smasher, reliant on powerful blows on your opponent. You will require a stiff, head-heavy racket. Preferably, a racket with the stiffness of 3U and with strings of high tension. A suggestion would be BG 66 Ultimax at 27 lbs. For a heavy smashing racket, Z Force I and Z Force II would be a diligent choice. For a skill player, one of quick and speedier powerful shots. You will need a a lighter racket, a softer flex and moderate balance. It should be a racket of 4U or above. The stringing could be still BG 66 Ultimate at 27 lbs. A suggestion for that racket would be the Yonex Z Speed or Z Slash.

Note: All of these rackets will have prices of at least $165 USD
