Concave

The concaved modelled frame stretches the active side length of the racket and enlarges the sweetspot up to 8%.

Convex

The concaved modelled frame increases the stability and guarantees extraordinary impact comfort and impact control.

Cube

The cube modelled frame increases the torsional stiffness and the ball control.

Aero

The aero modelled frame effects an extraordinary aerodynamic and an extreme fast game.

The shaft flexibility is decisive for the expedition of the racket head and mostly depends on the technique of the player. Generally there are three kinds of shaft flexibility: stiff, middle and flex. In Addition there are intermediate form like midstiff or midflex. The advanced players can choose in between stiff and flex. The less experienced players should use a flex shaft.

In general rackets are distinguished in three different balance points: top-heavy, grip-heavy and balanced. A racket forms a balanced balance point, if it is in equation and the racket weight is evenly spread. If a racket has an high balance point- the rackets top is feeling heavy- we call it an grip-heavy balance point

Top-Heavy

Advantages:power

Disadvantage: harder to handle

Balanced

The balanced racket is a compromise between power and handling

Grip_heavy

Advantages: easy to handle

Disadvantage: less power

The harder the string, the smaller the area (sweet spot) with which the ball can be hit efficiently. The closer the meeting point, the more effective the ball can be controlled and the harder it can be hit. Tournament players choose a higher stringing strength of 9 and more Kg. They hit the ball more frequently in the sweet spot and can thus use the higher stringing hardness. Beginners should choose a lower tension hardness of up to 8.5 Kg to use the trampoline effect for higher impact hardness and an improved range of impact. The lower stress hardness is also gentler and more forgiving. Most Badminton strings are up to max. 12.7 Kg. A higher string tension is not recommended because the frame can be damaged and the durability of the string is significantly reduced. The hardness of the string should be adapted to the respective frame and the individual playing level. The prerequisite for reliable data is a properly calibrated stringing machine.

Choice of string

Thin gauges: (0,65 – 0,70)

For tournament players: less air resistance, -more power, -less durability

Thick gauges: (0,75 – >)

For amateur players and beginners: more air resistance, -a bit less power, -more durability
