Why are titanium badminton rackets the best?

　　Yang Kang, a national first-level badminton player, told reporters: “We are very particular about the selection of shots, and the ones with higher prices are not necessarily good. The most important thing is that it is handy and durable. ” 

Professional athletes love to use titanium rackets and full carbon rackets. These two rackets are lightweight and durable. The full carbon rackets weigh 75-83 grams each. However, the price is relatively high. A full-carbon racket from a famous brand costs about 1,200-1,500 yuan, which is not cost-effective for beginners. Beginners generally use imitation carbon or aluminum alloy rackets priced around 100-200 yuan.

The shape of the badminton racket head should also be considered. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were drop-shaped and pointed rackets. These two types of rackets are now rare on the market. The most commonly used racket is the one with a square front end. The racket with a square front end has a large hitting area and is easy to grasp, making it very suitable for general badminton enthusiasts.

There are also particularities to playing the strings. When you observe the good strings under the instrument, you can find that the middle cross-section is bundled like optical fiber fibers, while the inferior strings are single strands and you cannot see many bundles. Unfortunately, when purchasing strings, there is no instrument identification and the only way to distinguish them is by the price of the strings. Generally, a pair of clapper strings costing about 20-30 yuan is good, and the best clapper strings cost 80-90 yuan a pair. Stretching requires special tools. The tightness of men's rackets should be controlled between 22 and 25 pounds, and the tightness of women's rackets should be controlled between 21 and 24 pounds. A racket that is too loose will not bounce back the ball, and a racket that is too tight will make it difficult to play ball.

When picking a racket, you must pick it up and put your fingers on the center of the racket to see if the head of the racket is heavy or the tail is heavy. The head-heavy racket is powerful for smashes and is suitable for offensive players. ； A racquet with an even head-to-tail weight is suitable for average players and beginners.
