My 林丹 Grip, Balancing work & badminton, My tournament results | Badminton QA#2 

I do believe that's probably the main reason. I would also say Lin Dan loving his head heavy feeling rackets didn't want that much weight around the handle area. Towel grips are like 2/3 times as heavy as PU grip so it would definitely cut down on weight to only grip half way. Probably would not effect the swing much at all but the feel would be different.

It's actually the opposite, Lin Dan adds lead tape to the head of his racket to make them even more heavy! D:

@@BadmintonwithJeffrey Extra heavy ;)

Making the grip too thick can also change the racquet balance and increase the racquet weight. I got a shock when I weighed some grips and the racquets after installing them. If you test a racquet with a particular grip and change it radically you maybe dissappointed

So a misconception about the backhand clear is that you use the backhand grip for it. The “backhand grip” that has your thumb up on the flat side of the racket is mainly used for backhand drives. In any case, the grip is quite comfortable for me for all shots :)

@@BadmintonwithJeffrey but you do put the thumb on the corner bezel? That's what I meant. I mean like you place your thumb at the 45° point on the handle. Which has less surface area than the front or sides. But its good to know its comfortable, i might try it sometime. Currently i just remove all stock grip and wrap 2 layers of perforated overgrip on the bare wood. Gives that solid feel that some spongy grips lack but keeps decent thickness to fit my slightly larger hands.

Ahhh yes I do put my thumb on the corner bezel. Tbh I like the feeling even when I’m touching the wooden part of the grip 😅 feels cool

@@BadmintonwithJeffrey yeah the feedback you get is pretty nice I'd imagine. Like you i found the towel grip to be just way too slippy. Great feeling but not practical for me :D

Ohhh come say hi!!!

Badminton with Jeffrey haha i will if i see u

I use BG 65 because it lasts long, even when you string it at high tensions. I haven’t used any other string so I’m not sure about what’s good for offense and defensive players haha. Just play with what feels right :)

BG 80 is a pretty good string it's the string I'm currently using ard 27lbs it's quite hard feeling

This year or next year? :o
