How to Choose Your Badminton Racket
History suggests that games involving shuttlecocks have been played for many years now. It was however recorded, that a modern version of badminton was introduced by the British during the mid-19th century, as a variant of the aforementioned earlier game. Since then, the activity has undergone a several name change from battledore and shuttlecock to Poona or Poonah before finally reaching Badminton. It is important to note, that it was during the Poona era that the game was assigned its first rules of play. A revised version of the rules took place around the 1890s.
Badminton is a sport played using rackets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. The standard forms of the sport are "singles" and "doubles". That is, with one player per side and with two players per side respectively. The game is usually played as an informal outdoor activity. However, the formal activities replayed on an indoor court.The game was improved from the earlier sport called battledore and shuttlecock; and has become extremely notable in Asia with China in the leads. Consequently, the sport is seen to have been represented in Summer Olympic sport with five events since 1992. Just like most games, badminton is gender unbiased. It is played by both sexes and enjoyable at that.
Just as a glove is important to a goalkeeper or a boot to a soccer player, so is a racket to the badminton player. One cannot do without the other; and the efforts of the player on the playing field lies passably in the durability of playing aids (gloves, boots, rackets etc.). Let’s talk a bit about what a racket is. It is usually, if not supposed to be, feather light weighing preferably between 75 to 90grams. It consists of a netting stretched in a mostly oval opening leading to a shaft or a handle. The handle is joined directly to the frame of netting to enhance firm gripping and accelerate swings to ensure precision in delivery. Quite identifiable with the tennis racket in appearance and use but very distinct in its purpose and application. The badminton racket is made up of a variety of materials ranging from carbon fiber to solid steel. Some of these materials may be augmented by many different substances. However, carbon fiber is excellent in momentum transfer because of its outstanding strength to weight ratio. It is able to transfer an appreciable amount of kinetic energy to the shuttlecock to an expected result. Before the introduction of carbon fiber integration, badminton rackets were made from wood or lighter metals such as aluminum. But currently, in the light of materials (nano materials to be more precise) such as carbon nano tubes, a more durable commodity than the former are being produced. It is, therefore, a prerequisite to highlight the thoughts one puts in choosing a badminton racket. A very good racket can make all the difference. There are basically four valid indicators to look out for in choosing your badminton racket. They are:the weight of the racket, the balance point, the string tension and the hand grip. These tried and tested pointers guide you in a calculated decision when buying a racket.
The weight of the racket as early on explained should fall within a particular range; but the ideal weight, recommended for beginners is 85g to 90g. Badminton rackets which fall within this range have a lower balance point (point 2) to be precise. They are usually very easy to control to ensure steady serves and quick recovery. The rackets which fall within this range creates a fine balance for you to be able to deliver quick serves and alternate your strokes with much ease and flexibility. Emphasis is placed on weight because it tends to affect the balance; and if there is a disturbance in that region, one is susceptible to spraining his or her wrist. But with the required weight, it’s easier on the wrist and shoulders with guaranteed minimized chances of injuries.
On the other hand, in light of the above, experienced players may go in for heavier badminton rackets which have higher balance points than the feather light ones. This simply means, the racket is heavier at the head and lighter at its handle. This type of racket is not for everyone since it is difficult to use because of its weight;thereby, recommended for mostly seasoned players. When you take a look at the shuttlecocks, it is feathered in nature and flies very differently from balls used in a variety of game or sport. Particularly, the feathers tend to create a much higher obstruction causing it to halt more rapidly. In retrospect, in using such rackets for badminton, you have to channel much power in your smashes to ensure the expected result.
Thirdly, the tension of the racket comes into question when choosing one. It is tested by pressing your palm firmly but gently against the strings to see how far it sinks. Usually, a 1mm sunken depth of the strings is the beau ideal tension for a lot of players. If you happen to channel great force into your strokes, you will require a much higher tension for your racket strings. For amateurs, 22 - 23 lbs.is a good tension, to begin with. Bear in mind that, tension standards vary across regions. This is due to how temperature affects string tensions – generally, higher racket tensions are recommended to individuals living in regions with higher temperatures as strings tend to enlarge under such conditions.
Lastly,distinct racquets have varied playing characteristics that appeal to different players. The conventional oval head shape is still available, but an isometric head shape is growing rapidly among the new racquets.But it is important to note the two paramount factors that affectthe grip of a racket - its type and size. There are two types of badminton grips - towel and synthetic. Towel grips are softer and excellent in retaining sweat or moisture. This trait helps one keep a steady and firm grip on the racket at all times. However, this makes them liable to a buildup of germs and bacteria. Because of this, towel grips will demand constant replacement compared to synthetic grips. On the other hand, synthetic grips are smooth and sleek. Its plastic nature gives it a slicker feel and less messy outlook. Nevertheless, this makes them uncomfortable to use due to its inability to absorb moisture or sweat. In times of a heated game, where sweat cannot be avoided, the synthetic grip disadvantages the player.However, because of this feature, germs and bacterial infection is avoided.
Talking about the sizes, most racket grips come in four sizes. Bigger grips are valued than smaller ones by players who prefer a tighter feel to induce more power. On another hand, players who want to introduce the art of deception to their style of play will go for the smaller ones instead; since it’s easier to handle and maneuver.
Conclusively, badminton as a sport requires spectacular fitness: players need aerobic stamina, strength, speed, and more importantly,precision. It is also a technical sport like any other, requiring good motor coordination and application and lastly, the development of refined racket maneuvers or movements. With this in mind, the essence of acquiring the right badminton racket cannot be overemphasized.
