I'm a beginner player. Start playing badminton for less then a year. Currently i feel comfort using thin string (0.61 - 0.63) with 26 lbs tension

What string you are using will also determine what tension is "right" for you. A thicker soft feeling string like BG65 will be more forgiving at, lets say 27lbs then BG80 at the same tension.

If your a big slice shot maker ie left handed playing with a right handed player , should you have looser strings ? I find a I damage my inner strings quite a lot.

I play for a lot of years now in the regional divisions, but I never really tried playing with a higher tension (I don't know if it's the culture here not to play with such tensions, or something else). Just last year I moved up from 23+24lbs to 24+25 lbs for my own racket, I do feel an improvement in a lot of shots, but also the feeling when I miss the sweet spot. A lot of the players in my club usually use 22-24lbs tension in their rackets.

Do you have a tutorial how to serve and receive in proper way?

Bro I'm 11 years old which racket did I use i have yonex nanoray 6000i lbs is 20 can i use astrox lite 27i or arcsaber 7 play or nanoray

any tips to know what tension my string is, cause I've forgotten about it and I might need to change it.

It seems like your video its suddenly cut at the end without proper end closing speech

Loved it. This range is for people who don't play badminton! Brutal, bust honest.

I bought voltric racket and stringed with 32lbs just to know what it feels like. I'd say hard to control the shuttlecock

Do higher string tension causes injury or something if going up a couple of lbs/pounds? example i'm using a 26lbs string tension then i increase it to 28lbs?

some pros do use low tension strings like yamaguchi akane

I live in Belgium and strung rackets for players from recreational beginner level to European sub top youth players. The lowest category of players play with plastic shuttles and will have enough at 8-8,5kg tension. The highest tension request I had over the last 5y, was 13,5kg and that is very rare. Competitive players mostly ask tensions between 10 to 12kg. So I was a bit surprised by the tensions in this video.

I used to play with 26-27 lbs but after I stopped playing everyday and started playing once or twice a week, I started developing elbow pain. I assume as my skill deteriorates, I have much less accuracy and miss the sweet spot much more often. It didn't help that at the same time I also started playing golf. Now I only play with 24 -25 lbs of tension. The shuttle feels a bit "sluggish" and bounces off the racket face at a slower speed especially when I am playing at the net but not having elbow pain is a good trade off.

plese make video on lining 3d caliber x combat

Idk why but the edge is the sweet spot for me

Hi guys i use astrox 100zz 4u bg 80 32x35lbs

Do this guide already account for tension dropping? Tension will drop as soon as you finished stringing. There is an app that measures string tension and my tension will drop around 3 lbs after a week and pretty much settle around there until it snaps in about 1-2 months.

I used 29 for BG 66/EXBOLT63/ultimax. Used 30 for lining no 1

thank you

Are you recommending thus to go above what the racquet recommends?

What is string tension( NA)

I'm stuck at 25 for a while now, playing with cheap feather shuttle.

I spoke to the 3x Canadian national men's over 30 singles champion, strings all his rackets at 18lbs and never breaks strings... crazy

nicee infoo..

I know someone playing with about 19 pounds and he plays so unpredictable and powerful with it. So it‘s wrong to say, that 18-22 lbs is only used by free time players.

How to string badminton racket

Can I ask if my rackets max tension is 24lbs can I put 25 or 26 string on it will it break or not?Thanks!

I sometimes use another racket at 22 lbs with bg65 titanium string and to be honest the racket surface feels really stiff and it's very hard to generate power. So I stick to 20 lbs.

I have a beginners racket with 15-18 lbs limit, can i string it above the accepted range? like 20-25?? thank you

What is your racket name

Fun fact: the isometric shape has bigger hitting point

Bro my badminton racket is 8 year old and worth 6k but limit mention on it is H=20-22lbs and U=18-20lbs what does it mean

I watched this cause I'm going to buy a racket just for casual use, and I guess I go for 22lbs cause I'm a person who wants to take badminton a bit serious.

This is the usual bigger is better snobbery. People choose different racquets, strings and tension for different styles of play. Also the combo of all 3 has to be taken into consideration.

I've broken so many strings at 18-21 lbs lol. I asked the shop to do 23, 21 is the highest he ever let me go lol. He could probably tell I didn't actually know how to play. Just got a new racket prestrung so I have no idea how much it has.

I've been playing for over 10 years with string tension 21/20 (9.5/9 kg). I prefered the power over control...

I have not play badmintkn for 3 month and my tension is 25 or 24 and i sometimes hit the edge

I think you have thought too simply here. You can't just say that the higher, the more professional. For example, I know a man who plays with about 19 pounds of tension and he plays so unpredictably and with such ease in professional badminton and not like free time playing in a park type of guy, that you can hardly keep up. It depends more on your playing technique and your own preferences than simply saying the higher the better. This is what you still could learn

Funnily enough, Akane Yamaguchi goes with 24 - 26, but she's far from minimally trained 😄

i'm using 26.5 lbs and it gives me powerful shots

bro i thought the strings that like curved in at the end meant I needed a restring

What is the good rackets

I play like professionals around 24-26 but still hitting some shots on the edges

If raquit tension is maximum 28lbs can we put 30lbs on it.

What about a play when using nylon plastic shuttle corks?

Me who playing with 30lbs and still smash with edges 🥲

Range 6: Kento Mamota 33x35 😛

son hueng min?

What about 40-50 tension on badminton racket

and then there's kento momota who strings it at 33-35lbs

Thank you for the video. I disagree that 18lbs is not for playing badminton. I used to have three ranges on my rackets. 18lb. 26lb, 30lbs. Six rackets in total. Today, I use only 18lbs and 30lbs. There is difference in feel and control between all of them. I negated 26lbs because I wanted a significant difference in feel between 18lbs and 30lbs and how fast I can adapt. It is on different racket brand and model but same weight and for the last 54 years since.

the lbs is same for all bats

Mi raqueta aguanta 28 pero tiene 32 lb soy profesional pero llevo 4 meses entrenando para

im alredy a low intermidate player i want to change my string tension to 28 but my mom wont let me cause she thinks i will break my racket my tension is 24-25

Thz

I'm an amateur who only plays once a week with my colleague, and i think 26 lbs is kind of perfect

40lb badminton, 25 string tension.

why is it in pounds lol.

What about 35lbs

Totally disagree with this. These are one of those videos which get you thinking that more is better.
