$10 vs $200 Badminton Racket 

Better late than never 😅 Shoutout to Hendryk for a great match, and make sure you keep watching til the end for a bonus accuracy test where Jenny was VERY accurate 😲

Hendryk didnt look happy at being called the ''amateur'' 🤣🤣🤣

This was hilarious! I really thought there was some special, secret top-of-the-line $1000 racquet I've never heard of 🤣

Congratulations Jenny and Greg. Zheng Huang better watch out in 2023 😀

Congratulations on winning the Irish Open! You've come a long way and genuinely deserve where you are right now! More opportunities for you guys! Thank you for the video (Compelling 1000-dollar racket lol)!

these types of comparisons are so fun to watch🙏🙏, great video 🏸

As a true amateur myself this video was so much fun! It's so cool to see the differences when an amateur plays against a pro: the deception from having no backswing, the power and speed in the strokes and the explosivity in the movement. Very motivating to train these parts myself 💪

Congrats on your win in Ireland! It would be interesting to see you test a racket costing around £30-35. That seems to be the minimum spend where, instead of just toys like that $10 racket, you start to find lightweight, full-graphite rackets, that can be strung to a decent tension, and on paper at least, have similar specs to the more expensive models - so we'd see what difference all the fancy materials and technology really make!

I was really surprised at how the rackets leveled the playing field between an amateur and a professional. I honestly didn't think it was going to make that much of a difference. Great video!

its confirmed... badmintion is pay to win

Very entertaining and I'm lucky enough to play with a $200 raquet. Sadly, at my age, I only have $5 knees. This leaves a very noticeable $195 deficit when I walk on court.😉😁😁

This is a comparison that was much awaited. I am glad to see it being done by 2 pros.

Another great video and good advice about trying a few rackets and just picking the one that suits you best. And as you've said so well before, same for the type of strings & tension.

Racket's really do work around one's skill, nice video. I also have a suggestion, could you guys make a tutorial on how to do a defensive dive upon a smash in singles, as well as the 180 looking half split upon defending a smash in singles as well? Keep up the great work!

Well Done on your Irish open win, dedication paying off. Useful to see the difference between the racquets, shows the importance of getting the right equipment whatever the price. I have only just changed from a 20yr old Yonex Carbonex 20, took a while to get used to the newer isometric shape on the Duora 99.

This is a great informative vid for ppl to understand that racket sud be properly researched n not buy the most expensive or the cheapest. Great fun vid as usual. Loved it.

Would great to see a video where you give some recommendations on those mid-range beginner/intermediate rackets!!! Love the content xx

awesome video as always fellas. definitely getting that $1000 racket for sure!

congrats on 250k subscribers! Keep up the good work.

This is a great video. Loving the new banner btw

Time has arrived for Genny and Greg to shine 👍🏽👍🏽

Great video guys. Was a good watch. Keep it up🏸

Very nice video, but I would have honestly loved to see a comparison between a $30-60 rackets (amateur/intermediate) VS the ones above $100 (max being $200), for Advanced players. And not a one b/w $10 props VS pros.

Always lovely and helpful videos

Love your content! Fun and inspiring!

Loved the ending! You are unbelievable at that!!!

Awesome content always! Next please make how the shuttle quality makes a diff, including the plastic ones as well. Thanks 😊

Nice video. I believe a good racket that complements your play can give you confidence in playing the shot you want without you having to compensate. Loved the little tennis-grunt with the 1000 dollar one.

First of all congratulations on the Irish Open win. As someone who has played badminton for almost 18 years, starting as a junior in my club just for fun, now competing and coaching. Also have worked selling badminton equipment I agree with the premise. A 10€ or dollar racket is for playing outside with family in my opinion and the more expensive ones do have benefits. Although I think that most players especially beginners, intermediate players, and juniors tend to choose rackets that are too high level for them in terms of their physique or technique (skill). Same with strings and tension. Or too thin grips. There isn't that much research in badminton concerning the subject but in tennis, they have found that many (juniors especially) who play with too stiff rackets, strings and tensions which tend to create problems in the future, like tennis elbow, compromised technique and so on. From what I have seen this does seem to be the case in badminton too, and I won't lie I have been guilty of it too. People seem to forget that professional players train so much and have done so for so long that their bodies can take a different kind of abuse and do things differently than us lower-level players. I would imagine you for example have had thousands of repetitions of for example the net kill or drive with a coach correcting the mistakes away. Which makes it so that even if you are using a higher tension, stiffer racket and smaller grip you are able to squeeze and then relaxe your grip without causing problems. While for many it could cause pain (not just soreness) in the forearm not because it is a bad excersice or technique but because the equipment doesn't help (having a thin grip and high tension) or the technique isn't correct in the first place. You can't see what you are doing when you are training and our awareness isn't always the best. I at least have found that many times I think I'm doing something like it should be, but when watching video of myself to find it isn't even close. Or having a coach tell me that.😅

Congrats! 🎉🎉 May your journey of badminton make you even more happier

This was super interesting! Would be cool to see a cheap racket with better strings and compare the difference -- how much does changing the strings really help?

I managed to get a refurbish TK F Enhanced Edition (from a reputable badminton shop so it's not fake) just like in the video for less than 100 USD here in Vietnam. I don't need to tell you how happy I am with the purchase. Unbelievable deal for one of the best racket in the market.

Love that jumping celebration from Greg ☺️

Congrats Jenny & Greg for winning the Irish Open! And thank u for making such videos ! It was very interesting ! 😁

I was expecting a same videos comparison like others did, but i was wrong. Good video!

OMG! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! It never crossed my mind to make a research before buying a $100 racket 2 days ago. As much as I would love to buy the $200.00 one, I thought that it can be too expensive for me because of my skill level. I am excited to use my new racket tomorrow and see how would I perform in the next upcoming days adjusting from the $10.00 racket ones to my new baby. Once again, thank you!

Congrats in Ireland! And one of the most entertaining video you guys made

Congratulations for 250k subscribers!!! 🙌🎉

Interesting video. I watched a similar type of video of video comparing a dirt-cheap tennis racquet to a top professional one. In that case, whilst the expensive one was obviously better, the cheap one fared pretty well and in several aspects was actually more appropriate for a beginner or casual player. My badminton racquet would be roughly in the $100 range and I really notice the difference when my strings snap and I have to use my one of my spare (cheaper) ones.

Congrats on winning the Irish open! So happy for you guys!

Wow I learn a lot from this video

So creative and fun to watch as always and good advertisements too

Congrats jeny and Greg for the win Wish you all luck for future games

Perfect timing. I was wondering the difference between an expensive racket vs cheap one. Thanks!

hi guys i saw yous on Saturday and yous played so well and won against Denmark by a lot so well done😀😀

Congratulations🎉🎉 $ 1000 racket is awesome😊

I really love you channel. Thanks for some tips it really helps a lot. I like that $10000 racket 😆

First time i watched this kind of test, its fun to watch.....

Grats on the win! Seeing Greg doing the triple jump was the highlight of my day!

wow this is cool content. love your spirit, pals. and thank you for the review.

Love you guys :)) i am always your videos

Love your videos

Good win congratulations. ❤

I think the one think should consider is the materials, I own similar price range of racket, one is metal, one is compound from ages ago and one is the 88S pro. I only an amateur player but the difference to the net play and controlling are massive

Hey, Greg or Jenny, always loved watching your videos coz I do not have a coach or trainer. I learn a lot from your videos. Love it ❤One thing though, I am from India and if I order something from TRME sports, how much will the shipping cost for me??

Enjoyed this video so much, maybe one of the best even if just for the last scene where Greg lost and smashed the shuttley down 🙂 Love you guys! PS: I am not a pro, but play with a 200$ racket, as well - it makes a lot of a difference (even to a 100$ racket), when you play at your best condition - not so much where it is not your day on that day for some reason, or some other reasons 😅

This is in my opinion the best badminton channel on RU-vid, and this vid looks like it was a lot of fun to make BUT I can't help but say that early on I had a feeling this video was going to be a sponsored video, guiding us to wanting to buy the expensive rackets haha. Due to the ...not-so-scientific/fair tests lol

Fun video! Is a proper shoes VS sandals video coming next?! 😆

Congratulations on the Irish Open! It was great to see Greg's celebratory jumps haha.

I like your all videos but most liked video is backhand clear love from India 🇮🇳

Just wondering, were the strings and their tension the same on both rackets? That could affect the results

But i'd like to ask which strings are the best Greg, so can u pls make a vid btw im subscribed!!

isnt it racquet?

Wow congrats on wining the Irish open . I hope and pray that u would win bigger tournments in the future

amazing video

Congrats on your win in Ireland !

I have never trusted on any badminton youtuber who makes video of experience of them but I trust on you ❤❤ If there is any problem in my english I am sorry for that I don't know english very well🙏

Great vid! Could you have strung all rackets at say 24lbs to remove that variable? Part 2 😉

my badminton skills has improved from watching ur vids

Back to badminton 💪🏻😍

When I heard about 1000$ racquet I definitely didn't imagined that 🤣🤣

Hello pls can you make videos about string, all top brand waiting for that ❤️🔥🔥

You are so good at badminton 😊🎉😮😅

in your speedtest whats your technique for getting shuttles out of your hand so quickly? that was real quick!

I started playing, I thought I need an expensive racquet so I paid like $150. More I played I realised I don't actually need but just $100. More I played I realised I can squeeze that down to like $40-50 and get what I need. You need torsion stiffness for sure, need to check the T doesn't twist, and you need enough quality that it can take enough kilos for the string. But apart from that it's more about just if the parameters are right for you. For power u need head heavy, for speed you need head light. Anything else just seems to make zero difference, and having checked these parameters I know already I will also like the feel of the racquet.

LOL... I mean there are obvious technical advantages between the 200 dollar racket and the 10 dollar racket, but just between you and me, I'm sure you were being very kind to Hendryk in the second set...🤣🤣🤣. Great video guys...

🤩😅💪🏻 2 shots Jenny!! well done!!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎

would you help me wich racket i should use i am currently using the victor drivex 888H can you tell if its good

i wish to see a vedio on the yonex arcsaber 71 light pleaseee

Great guest apperence by our staff member Hendryk

How does the victor thruster f compare to the yonex astrox 100zz (both in 4u) I'm thinking of switching but have no way of testing, also congrats on the Irish open win👍

Hi should I use a yonex NANOFLARE OO1 feel racquet its long and the racquet head is bugger than the other one while my apacs racquet commander 3D suits my weight its better for smashing and the racquet head is smaller a little bit which one should I use?

Interesting Video again. I would like to see how you grip your Racket Greg. I want to use Towelgrip too. Can you show that in your next Videos?

Still enjoying when I rewatch the celebration of Greg after the win in Ireland

Congrats in Ireland also you've settled an age long debate I feel I have with alot of my friends. Buying a £100 badminton won't necessarily make me better but it's a start, as I improve the racket will help towards that! Thank you.

Very nice video, I guess the video gives us amateurs confidence that our win chance against a pro player increases when they use a lower price pointed racket hahaha. Would it be an idea to do a similar test with the shuttles? Like a test with nylons, low budget feathers and high budget feathers?

i want to see u guys when i go to Denmark

Ah so that's where Mario Party came from 😂

Recently splashed out on a €16 racket. But it’s just for garden badminton

I like my racquets to be at the stiffness of mid to stiff. And my strings to have a hard feeling

That's interesting, what about the old T-joint rackets, the high-end one back in the day, like an old Carbonex 8

I play badminton to and the 200 dollar racket sounds so good i love the sound it makes

I am your followers sir from Philippines Mine for the racket cost 10 dollars... Thank YOU sir...

Me I'm playing with 4 dollar racket but I'm happy with it because this is my mom what can give me but at least I have a racket and the video was very nice thank you for the advice and I think I'm starting saving some money to buy a 200 dollar racket to improve my skill and have a chance to win in a match

Very good channel, great content guys! I am recreational player, I plan to upgrade racket soon. If you have an option of Victor Thruster K 1H H or Victor DriveX 09 M, which you would recommend? My budget is approx. 60-70 EUR. Thanks!

make a comparison between original vs imitation racket next please.

Ha, nice video, as always 😁 how much of the bad racket is actually the bad racket and how much is it you as Pro players being used to completely different flex, string tension etc.? E. g. if you played daily for 1 week with the bad racket, you would probably get used to it to some extent and beat Hendryk with a greater margin again? 🙂

what is your racket tension for the 200 dollar racket?

Where do you recommend buying rackets?

What kind of victor racket should i buy
