Badminton Gear, The Racket

Modern badminton rackets weigh less than 100gr, including the strings; which makes them very easy to wield and move at very high speeds. Recent tests have measured the racket movement which are capable of launching the birdie at an incredible speed of 320 kph (200 mph). Most rackets are manufactured out of one solid piece of graphite, making them light weight and strong, leaving the older metal racket heads nearly obsolete. With the broad variety of badminton rackets available on the market in this day and age, varying in size and brands we suggest you tryout several different ones before buying one. Racket sizes vary slightly and sizing is limited by Law, there is the most commonly used and popular oval head racket however the round isometric head is common in some new rackets.
