What are the main parameters of badminton rackets?
Badminton racket shape
It is the geometric shape of the racket head. There are generally two types: the traditional round ISO beat shape with a square head. The mainstream badminton rackets have used square heads. Compared with the round heads, the sweet area of the square heads is about 26% larger than that of the round heads.
Badminton racket sweet spot
It is the best hitting area of the racket surface. Most of the sweet area of the racket is near the fourth line of the horizontal line. When the hitting point is in the sweet spot, it can give you enough hitting power, ball control, and little vibration. If the racket head is enlarged, the sweet spot will become larger and easier to control, but the increase in the racket head will bring torque. And weight.
Badminton racket torque
It refers to the magnitude of the twist on the surface of the racket when the racket hits the ball. The smaller the racket’s torque, the better the control of the ball.
Badminton racket weight
Every racket should be marked with its weight. The general standard is U, 2U, 3U, 4U. Generally, the weight of a full-carbon badminton racket is mostly 2U (90-94g) or 3U (85-89g), 4U (80-84g), and the weight of an aluminum-framed badminton racket is generally above U (95-99g) There are also a few full-carbon badminton rackets that weigh as low as 80 grams.
