(2) The material type of badminton racket
A badminton racket consists of a racket and strings. The racket mentioned here refers to the racket frame excluding the strings. The development of modern technology has made more new materials used in badminton rackets, and different types of materials have different feel or hitting effects. These differences can meet the needs of different types of players. Therefore, badminton amateurs and professional athletes have high requirements for the texture and nature of the racket, and they are very strict in their selection.
The material types of badminton rackets are mainly as follows:
1. Wooden racket
There are all-wood rackets and wood-iron rackets, the former racket structure is made of wood; the latter racket racket frame is made of wood, racket shaft is an iron tube. Wooden rackets have become an earlier and more popular badminton racket due to their low price. However, with the enhancement of people’s environmental awareness and the introduction of various new materials into the production process of badminton rackets, wooden badminton rackets have now been basically eliminated.
2. Iron racket
The frame is made of iron, and the rod is made of iron. The racket is heavy, easily deformed and impractical.
3. Aluminum carbon racket
The racket frame of the badminton racket is made of aluminum alloy, and the racket shaft is made of carbon fiber.
4. Aluminum alloy racket
The racket frame is made of aluminum alloy, the racket rod is an iron tube, and the racket frame and racket rod are connected by “outer tee”. This badminton racket has high popularity and low price, and is especially suitable for beginners.
5. Aluminum-iron racket
The structure of the racket is basically the same as that of the aluminum alloy racket, the structure is beautiful, the racket is hard, and the racket is heavier.
6. Full carbon racket
Both the frame and the shaft are carbon fiber. The advantage of this fiber is that it has strong toughness, is not easily deformed, and is light in weight. There are usually two types of structures: one-stage (one-piece) and two-stage (connected) structures. Among them, the two-stage racket is more difficult to process and has a higher cost, but it has good performance and is suitable for professional players. Most of the athletes participating in competitive competitions A racket using this material.
7. Titanium Racket
Titanium material is added on the basis of the all-carbon racket. This racket has higher strength and lighter body, and is the most advanced badminton racket on the market.
(3) Specifications of badminton rackets
1. The handle
The handle is where the batter holds the racket and consists of a shaped piece of wood that is easy to hold.
A piece of non-slip grip leather should be wrapped around the handle, which is also called hand glue (grip glue).
The thickness of the racket grip is indicated by Gx: G2 is the thickest, G3 is relatively moderate, and G6 is the thinnest.
2. Shoot heavy
The weight of badminton racket is mainly divided into:
1U (95~99g)
2U (90~94g)
3U (85~89g)
4U (80~84g)
5U (75~79g)
Tips:
The weight of Li Ning badminton racket is represented by W.
W1 corresponds to 5U, W2 corresponds to 4U, W3 corresponds to 3U, and W4 corresponds to 2U and 1U.
1U and 2U are suitable for young and professional players with strong wrist strength, high stringing pounds, and strong aggressiveness.
3U, 4U and 5U are suitable for technical athletes and amateurs.
3. Threading pounds
The number of pounds of threading mainly refers to the bearing capacity of the racket head. The number of pounds of threading is generally expressed in (pounds):
Low lbs (under 20 lbs)
Low to medium pounds (20-23 pounds)
Medium lbs (23~25 lbs)
Medium and high pounds (25-27 pounds)
Tall pounds (over 28 pounds)
A hobbyist can string between 20 and 25 pounds.
4. Middle tube hardness
The hardness of the middle tube is divided into five categories: hard, slightly hard, moderate, slightly soft, and soft:
(1) Hard: S ○○○○F
(2) Slightly hard: S○●○○○F
(3) Moderate: S○○●○○F
(4) Slightly soft: S○○○●○F
(5) Soft: S○○○○ ●F
S is English Stiff (strong rigidity), which is full of solid hitting feeling and gives high-efficiency power transmission.
F is English Flexible (good toughness), which has a more flexible hitting feeling and provides a more labor-saving swing transmission.
Reminder: Li Ning badminton rackets use English SOFT for soft and HARD for hard.
Harder ones are suitable for offensive players, while softer ones are suitable for skilled players and amateurs.
5. Racket balance point
According to the mechanical principle, the best balance point of the badminton racket empty racket is between 285 and 295 mm.
The rear balance point (below 285mm) is relatively flexible and is suitable for defensive control players.
The ball is more powerful and more suitable for attacking players with a higher balance point (above 295mm).
6. Racket length
The length of a normal badminton racket is about 262/8 inches (66.5 cm)
The length of the extended badminton racket is about 265/8 inches (67.5 cm)
(4) Selection of badminton rackets
1. Choose according to the beat shape
The racket shape refers to the geometric shape of the racket head. Currently, there are three main types in the market:
(1) Traditional oval;
(2) ISO racket with a square head;
(3) The larger the chord surface, the larger the ISO racket shape;
2. Choose according to the sweet spot
The sweet spot refers to the best hitting area of the racket surface. It is generally located in the area near the fourth root of the horizontal line. When the hitting point is in the sweet spot, it can give you enough hitting power and ball control. The sweet spot is very important, it makes it easier for players to hit high-quality balls, and the frame is the most critical factor in determining the size of the sweet spot.

3. According to material selection
The early badminton rackets were all made of wood, and compared with the new materials, the weight of the wooden rackets was obviously heavier. Since then, the use of steel pipe feather rackets, light metals such as aluminum and iron, and alloy rackets, glass fiber, carbon fiber, Kevlar fiber, high-tensile carbon fiber, high-viscosity carbon polymer, titanium, and ultra-rigid carbon fiber materials have continued. Reduce the weight of the racket while maintaining excellent toughness, providing great support for every shot.
The application of new materials makes the racket lighter, harder, more durable, and more able to absorb shock and vibration. Therefore, when choosing a badminton racket, you should first have a certain understanding of the racket material, different materials and different ratios of the same material. It will affect the price and performance of the racket. After a detailed understanding, you can choose which material is more suitable for you according to your own playing style and specialties.
Generally speaking, the stronger the hardness of the badminton racket, the stronger the swing power, and the lower the shock absorption and resilience performance. Although this type of racket can create a very amazing attacking power, if there is no guarantee of good physical fitness and excellent technical literacy, this racket can easily hurt the wrist and elbow. Therefore, a racket that is too hard is not suitable for beginners and players with hand injuries.
4. Choose according to weight (beat weight)
Badminton rackets are usually classified into three categories: offensive, defensive and comprehensive according to the user’s play style. Usually, a heavier racket is good for strong smashing and is suitable for offensive players; a lighter racket is easy to hit, pull, and hang, and is suitable for defense and overall control.
According to the above characteristics, it is best for badminton beginners to choose a racket with a lighter weight, in order to control the ball and better experience the feel, and at the same time reduce sports injuries. However, it should be noted that the lighter the racket is, the better. The swing speed of the light racket is fast, but it will feel empty when smashing the ball.
Of course, the racket is not the more powerful the smash. According to experimental analysis, when the weight of the racket exceeds a certain limit, there will be a “ceiling effect” in the smashing force. No matter how much force is sent, the speed of the ball cannot be accelerated, and there is an upper limit of the speed of the ball.
5. Choose according to the string (threading pounds)
The string of a badminton racket has a great influence on winning or losing the game, and it has a direct impact on the badminton player’s hitting speed, hitting power, and ball rotation. Strings of different quality often have great differences, including elasticity, resilience, and durability, but the most important thing is the difference in the contact time between the string and the ball.
The strings with low poundage and tension are more elastic, but the strings are looser. When hitting the ball, the ball stays on the racket for a long time and cannot precisely control the ball’s landing point. , but there is a sense of stagnation, and the rebound time is longer, which will affect the attack speed.
The string with high poundage and high tension has small elasticity, strong interaction between the racket and the ball, high rebound acceleration, fast initial speed of hitting the ball, and short contact time between the ball and the racket, which can shorten the flight time of returning the ball and the direction of the ball. It is easy to control the direction and depth of the ball, but it requires a higher player’s strength and ball control ability.
6. Choose according to the feel
Badminton is a very finely controlled sport, which has high requirements on human hand feel. Therefore, the feel has become a criterion for choosing a racket.
Specifically, the way to choose a racket based on the feel is that after you get the racket, you can swing it first. The racket that shakes the hand is too hard, and the shaft of the racket that does not shake the hand is more elastic; you can also hold the handle of the racket with one hand and hold the top of the racket head with the other hand to break it.
However, the other side of the hard and soft feel is the game of hitting strength and control, which is an inevitable pair of contradictions.
For example, a racquet with a hard feel can give full play to the player’s strength advantages, but at the same time, the control of this type of racquet is slightly poor, and players need to use this racquet to have excellent control; a racquet with a soft feel Has good control of the ball, but the hitting power is slightly insufficient. The best racket selection should be based on its own technical characteristics, choose the most moderate racket.
7. Choose according to hand shape
Because the racket is an important “link” between the hand and the ball, many badminton players pay close attention to the comfort of the contact between the hand and the racket. Therefore, players should choose the racket according to their own hand shape.
The selection criteria for badminton players are the comfort of the grip in the hand. For the vast majority of badminton players, players with large hands are suitable for rackets with thick handles, and players with small hands are suitable for grips with thinner or square handles. The more common types are G2, G3, G4 and so on.
Three, badminton racket hand glue recommendation
At present, the hand glues on the market are mainly composed of keel hand glue, towel hand glue, and PU hand glue.
1. Keel hand glue
There are a small number of ventilation holes on the keel hand glue, which improves the ventilation ability on the premise of ensuring comfort. Durable and not easily deformed, non-slip sweat-absorbing and more breathable. It can also improve the flexibility and impact resistance of the hand glue, and increase the comfort of the gripping hand.
2. Towel hand glue
Soft towel grip, unique knitting process, comfortable hand feel, good sweat absorption effect.
3.PU hand glue
The hand feels comfortable, the grip is comfortable, it is not easy to break, the sweat absorption and anti-skid effect is good, it is elastic, not easy to fade, and has no peculiar smell. The hand glue is sticky and feels firm and comfortable.
Badminton racket glue winding method:
1. Close to the bottom of the racket grip and gradually wind up;
2. The edge of each layer of grip glue is repeated to cover 1/3 of the width of the hand glue;
3. Subtract more than part to complete the winding;
4. Secure the top with sealing tape;

Five, badminton clothing recommendation
Whether it is a badminton game or a general fitness activity, the body movements of running, swinging, turning and jumping are required on the court. It is very important to choose light, loose and suitable clothing when exercising. That is to ensure the normal movement of sports, but also to avoid the occurrence of some injuries.
When exercising, you should wear clothes that are easy to move. While not affecting the completion of the movement, the clothes should also have the function of perspiration in time. Since most people who participate in badminton activities choose indoors, and badminton activities are relatively intense, especially in relatively hot weather. It is very easy to sweat. When sweating, some metabolites in the body are discharged with the sweat. The sweat that is not discharged in time will seep into the sportswear, which will easily lead to the growth of bacteria.
During badminton activities in the cold season, although it is not as easy to sweat as it is in hot weather, once you are on the court, you should still wear light and warm sports clothes. When you take a break, put on your jacket in time to avoid sweating. After the cold.
Six, badminton shoes recommended
Due to the need to move, jump, etc. on the badminton court, a pair of suitable shoes can not only ensure effective running, but also protect the feet.It is common for some enthusiasts to wear casual shoes, running shoes, or special shoes for other projects when playing badminton. The general activities have little impact, but once they start running, they often wear unprofessional shoes.How to choose a badminton racketin the long run, there will be some hidden dangers of injury.
Professional badminton shoes with lightweight design, wear-resistant, non-slip sole, shock absorption, cushioning function, flat bottomHow to choose a badminton racketeasy to exert force and other characteristics.
Therefore, badminton shoes need to be empty and comfortable, and the foot feeling is often good when playing. The sole is preferably beef tendon sole, or synthetic rubber or artificial rubber, which is mainly conducive to the fit between the sole of the foot and the ground, and is easy to start. The sole thickness is suitable. To choose shoes that suit your foot type, the size can be appropriately larger, and thicker socks can be worn so that they will not be squeezed during movement, or the soles of the feet will blister.

Seven, badminton socks recommended
Appropriate badminton shoes can bring good sports results to activities, and a pair of suitable socks will also affect sports results.
Badminton running, starting, braking and other actions all require good cushioning under the feet to protect the socks. If the socks are too thin, they will not have a cushioning effect, and the soles of the feet will slip, causing the center of gravity to be unstable. In particular, some lovers like to wear stockings and sneakers, which is very undesirable.
badminton sports socks
Professional sports socks can play a buffering role. The socks suitable for high-intensity badminton sports are at least sports socks with thickened towel bottoms. Those with higher requirements should choose sports socks with thickened full towels. Vigorous turns and stops often create friction between the foot and the shoe, so thicker socks are more likely to filter out that friction.
Badminton socks also have good elasticity, wrapping, and compressibility, which can wrap the feet tightly and flat, and the socks will not slip off during vigorous movements such as sharp turns and stops.
