The racket for badminton beginners should first be a racket with a "large sweet spot and easy to exert force". What is more recommended is Victory’s Super Nano 7/YONEX VT60 or a racket with similar parameters.
The characteristics that this type of racket should have are:
1. The balance point of the racket is neither high nor low (the center of gravity of the racket is about 275 mm from the end of the handle). In this way, although the offensive performance Not the best, but it takes into account the convenience of swinging the racket and the ease of exerting force.
2. The hardness of the racket shaft should not be too high. An excessively stiff club will place a heavy load on the wrist, which is not good for beginners who are not very good at generating force. Moreover, hard rackets also have high power requirements, making it difficult to hit the ball far.
3. It is best to use a racket with an extended shaft. The length of a traditional badminton racket is generally around 667 mm. Most of today's rackets will lengthen the shaft or handle by 10 mm to increase the control range of the racket and increase the offensiveness. A racket with a longer shaft will have extra shaft length to participate in rebound, which is more conducive to power generation.
4. The weight of the racket should not be higher than 3U. Note 2U (90-94 grams), 3U (85-89 grams), 4U (80-84 grams). If you are a man with a certain amount of strength, you can choose 3U. It is more recommended for women to use 4U.
5. The frame of the racket should preferably have a BOX structure, which is a nearly rectangular cross-sectional structure. Although the air resistance of such a racket frame will be slightly larger, it has no obvious impact on beginners and even intermediate players. The advantage of this type of racket frame is that it is strong and can better withstand accidental impacts to the racket by beginners and extend the life of the racket.
The above points can be found on Victory Super Nano 7 and YONEX VT60. If there are other similar rackets, beginners can also purchase them as appropriate.
