I just started playing badminton again all because of you guys, keep it up 👏👏

If you are a beginner, it doesn't really matter which racket you buy but I'd suggest getting a light head racket. You need to build up that muscle memory and technique in delivering your shots and handling the shuttlecock. Once you feel that the racket is holding you back in developing your skills, then it's time to consider upgrading. I've always stuck with my Yonex rackets just because I've always gone with that brand. You can always just briefly borrow your friend's rackets for a quick test just to get the feeling. There's no perfect racket just off the shelf. I've always had it the other way round, at first a new racket will feel strange, but you always can adapt to it and just tweek your strings and tension. I'm using the Astrox 100zz and have the 1000z. The 1000z has always given me the power I needed, it's stiffer and slightly head heavier, but after two hours of playing, I do feel a bit worn out and I switch to the 100zz, which is slightly head lighter and glides through the air more swiftly which gives me the best balance in attack and defence. Again, my advice (been playing for maybe 20 years), test out rackets before you buy, then just tweek them a little with the tension and strings, the rest is adapting to it! And I play men's doubles 90% of the time btw!

Amazing how closely my racket experiences matches you guys, bought the 90k first, then switched to thruster f, and bought the 90km a week ago, been fantastic so far!

This is a fascinating subject with a host of attached "urban myths" held by players at all levels. My own entirely subjective hot take on the matter, and an additional factor to those you quite right indicated in your video, is your age and experience as a player. To explain: my son and I both play(ed) at a fairly good level but, obviously, we are a generation apart. As a result the rackets we favor, and are most comfortable with, are also a generation apart. My son is the same age as Greg and favors modern racket designs with their generally lighter and finer racket construction allowing a high degree of manoeuvrability and racket head speed for those big smashes. My favorite racket comes from the early-noughties in the form of the Carlton Airblade 800 (Simon Archer's weapon of choice). It's far more "robust" in its construction, slower, very stable head shape, but not fast through the air so it needs to be swung like you mean it! When we swap rackets the results border on the comical as I find his rackets flimsy and like swing a breath of air, while my son finds my rackets akin to a scaffold plank with a string bed like a motorway divider. Anyway, the point of my ramble is that rackets have dramatically changed through the years and as players our style is, in some ways, governed and shaped by the equipment we are/were using.

Out of all the videos I've seen this is one of the most helpful videos for beginners n infact even intermediate players like me.

I got all the info shared here over a period of time by playing with multiple different ppl and styles by asking them lots of questions to improve myself
