How should beginners choose a badminton racket?

There is now a strong emphasis on physical exercise and public health, making badminton a great choice. For beginners, here’s how to choose a racket that suits you. Experienced players or those who have been playing for many years can skip this section.

Badminton rackets come with many parameters, but for beginners, focusing on a few key points should be sufficient:

  1. Racket Length: The standard length of a badminton racket is 665mm, though some rackets can reach up to 675mm. A longer racket provides a greater reach for control, while a shorter racket offers more maneuverability. This small difference can affect how you play.
  2. Racket Material and Weight: The material and weight of the racket greatly impact your playing experience and can also affect the price. Racket weight is indicated in U, as follows:
    • 1U: 95-99.9 grams2U: 90-94.9 grams3U: 85-89.9 grams4U: 80-84.9 grams
    If you have more power and prefer an aggressive play style, a heavier racket might be suitable. If you prefer better control, a lighter racket would be a better choice.
  3. String Tension: For beginners, a string tension between 20-25 pounds is usually sufficient. Anything higher might be difficult to control.
