badminton racket


hi youtube! gerald here whenever you visit a badminton shop do you realize there are rows of neatly stacked badminton grips and they come in different shape and sizes have you ever wondered, what are they for?


badminton racket

so in this video, we're talking all about grips there are two types of badminton grips. one, the rubber grip, and the towel grip within rubber grips there are two subcategories the overgrip and the replacement grip

the problem with rubber grip is that when it becomes very wet, they become extremely slippery if you have very sweaty palms, please don't touch rubber grips because... you'll end up with flying rackets all over the court the function of an overgrip is actually to go around the replacement grip so it adds a variety of texture and it is very cheap to change so it saves you lots of costs but the problem with it is that it makes your racket very bulky and heavy which i don't like personally i prefer putting an overgrip on top of an overgrip ya that's my personal preference and...

there's this very interesting video done by the tennis shop that explains in-depth what are the different varieties of rubber grip but i think it's not absolutely necessary for beginners to understand if you're interested i'll actually put the link down in the description below so do check it out! and moving on to towel grips. the good thing about towel grips is that no matter how wet this grip becomes, it still maintains very good friction and feel, such that it will not slip easily even if it's very wet but the downside to this is that after a while it really stinks and it does not last as long as the rubber grips and the more you use it, the rougher it becomes so as you can see

this is like after prolonged use and this is when it's quite new the difference is this is really really rough and this is smooth and nice personally i prefer using towel grip for intensive trainings because i'd perspire a lot and an alternative to using towel grip is to use a sports wristband where it helps to absorb sweat so that it does not flow to your palms here's another interesting fact. did you know, that the badminton racket handle actually comes in different sizes and unless asked, most badminton shop assistants do not actually tell you that they have badminton rackets that comes in a variety of handle sizes

so for me, i would actually request or ask for thinner handles because the advantage of having a thinner handle is that you can wrap your grip thicker (without increasing the width) so that gives you more comfort and cushion, and at the same time a thinner handle also gives you more control because of the fine movements of your fingers basically it is advantageous to use thinner handles and that's it for this video, if you have learned something please, click here to see more and do check out my two other videos where i talk about shoes, all about shoes because there so good! (shoes are important!) i think you'd really like them!

badminton racquets

hi, my name is john webb. i have been coachingfor badminton for over 15 years. i am going to share some tips on how to play badminton. on walking through the basic selection ofbuying a badminton racquet, what we look for, watch out for. we start playing badmintonafter we learnt up holding a racquet from the sports centre which will be very clunkybig chunk metal and probably very weighed down. so, let me walk through what is theimportant thing before buying a badminton racquet. most racquets now weigh between 75 and 95grams. germany made over carbonyl graphite for good torque in the racquet. some racquetsalso are wide bodied which acquisitions the air resistance which makes your shots a lotquicker. you also importantly want to be looking fortwo-piece or one piece racquet which means narrow big clunky metal join there, but thewhole flows through, one piece metal looks lighter. it has got a good strength and actuallyit has good connecting energies when you're hitting a shot quicke...
