Badminton Racquets Selection is a very critical step. You need to select your Racquet Very carefully. Following are the general questions you need to ask while selecting the Badminton racquets:
  1. Material of Racquet Frame
  2. Material of Racquet shaft
  3. Material Composition of Shaft and Frame
  4. Weight of the racquets
  5. Balance of the racquets
  6. Flex of the Racquet
  7. Head Shape
  8. Joint of shaft and Frame

Generally Badminton Racquets Manufactures used Carbon and Graphite Material for frame and Shaft. Now Days Yonex Badminton Racquets are coming with titanium and nanocarbon. (Used in Yonex NANOSPEED). But still most of the Badminton Manufactures are using the Graphite. As I explained earlier the head shape of the Badminton Racquets is also very important. Basically two types of Shapes are coming Isometric and Oval.
Now we will discuss the advantages of Oval Shape. Oval shape looks like egg. It give concentrated sweetspot. The oval shape racquets are generally small in size. Power of Oval shape Racquets distributed around the sweetspot.
Yonex Badminton racquets are come with both oval amd Isomatric Shape.
The effective stiffness of a badminton racquet is similar to the effective of string tension. So I will refer you back to that section. A stiffer racket has the similar effect as a higher tensioned string, while a flexible racket is similar to the lower tension string.
Rackets comes in different weights. Normally the racket alone weighs between 80-95g. Different manufacturers have different rating system, the most popular of which is Yonex U system, U = 95-100g, 2U = 90-94g, 3U = 85-89g, 4U = 80-84g. a rackets weight determines how fast one can swing a racket, the lighter a racket, the faster one can swing it with the same force. In general, a lighter racket is more maneuverable than a heavy one. However, before everybody goes out and buy the lightest racket, I also want to point out that lighter is not always better. A light racket is less stable than a heavier racket, more force is necessary to keep its path, furthermore, a heavier racket has a larger momentum and thus more effective in transferring its speed and power to the shuttle.
The final racket characteristic is balance of the racket. Head balanced racket is becoming more popular recently. Head balanced rackets have more mass near the head of the racket. A head balanced racket is more stable and have higher angular momentum when swung. On the contrary, a even balanced racket is more maneuverable.
