Balance<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

In general there are three types of balance with regards to badminton rackets.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Head heavy<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Even<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Head light<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Head heavy rackets are weighted towards the racket head. This is great for those of us who like to play with a very powerful and aggressive game, helping you put more strength in your smashes and helping your clears travel to the back of the court with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Head light rackets are more weighted towards the handle. This means that they have a very light and comfortable feel in your hands. You will also have great racket speed meaning you will be able to move and intercept shuttles with ease. A head-light racket will also provide you with a great sense of control when playing net shots. This makes the racket great for players who spend a lot of time at the front of the court, players who like more control over their shots and players who like to have a faster racket for quick drives and more defensive shots.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Even rackets are weighted towards the middle of the racket- shaft. This makes them great for players who are looking for a more adaptable and versatile game. These rackets are great for singles players and doubles players alike – providing adequate power to ensure you will be able to smash and clear effectively whilst giving enough control to play great net shots and enough racket speed to play a more fast-paced game.<\/span><\/p>\n
