5 PICKS FOR A BADMINTON RACKET WITH PLENTY OF POWER!
What gives power to a badminton racket?
When it comes to getting maximum power out of your racket, there are three things to look for: weight distribution, flexibility, and weight. A head-heavy racket gives you the most power because the balance is in the head of the racket, much like a hammer that can hit hard because the weight is furthest out. If you also choose a flexible or medium-flexible racket, the shaft helps generate extra speed in your shots. Finally, weight also plays a role: a heavier racket provides more power, but at the expense of swing speed.
In short: head-heavy + flexibility + heavy weight = maximum power.
