Hello, badminton fans! If you love to play badminton, you’ll understand the value of having the right kind of equipment. The badminton racket and the shuttlecock are the two primary badminton equipment. That’s why it’s worth learning about these tools, so you can play badminton better!
The posts, the stringed rackets, and the shuttlecocks would more or less remain. The badminton racket is what you use to hit the shuttlecock. The shuttlecock is a tiny, feathery thing you hit back and forth over the net. The racket itself consists of a handle, frame and strings pulled tight. The shuttlecock has a cork base and feather cone-shaped top.
The problem is that to serve well in badminton, you do not just require a good racket, but another that is adapted to our pace on the court, and to the conditions that we are playing in. The kind of racket can affect the way you play. Some rackets are also heavier which can offer you more strength when you hit the shuttlecock. A lighter racket means more control and speed. Choose a racket that feels comfortable in your hand and suits your style of play.
The feathers on the shuttlecock also help determine how it flies. Feather shuttlecocks are quicker and are used in professional games. They are fashioned with good feathers that allow them to fly well. The plastic shuttlecock more durable, ideal for recreational play.
So when you are selecting your badminton racket and shuttlecock, consider the way you play. If you play with a lot of power, a heavier racket could be better as it provides more power. If you are a defensive type player, you may want a lighter racket for more control.
If you are just beginning, a plastic shuttlecock is a suitable choice as it is durable and more manageable. Once you improve, think about playing with feather shuttlecocks for a faster and more challenging game. You feel the difference between rackets, between shuttlecocks.
After you purchase your badminton racket and shuttlecock, you will want to maintain them for the long run. Wipe down your racket with a damp cloth to get rid of any dirt or sweat after each match. Store your racket in a cool, dry place out of the sun. Keep your shuttlecocks in a box to protect the feather from damage. Replace shuttlecocks as necessary to keep them in good condition for play.
