(2) Box type frame which is suitable for powerful shots or smashes.

Overall, Duora 10 generates good power from 3rd line and better smash power. Both the fame sides are good for taking the smashes

Balance point of the racket is a point where we can balance it. Balance point defines the overall dynamics of the racket. Based on balance point a racket can be classified into 3 types:

Head Heavy Configuration:

If you try to balance the racket on finger and find out that its balance point is closer to head side (it means weight of the racket is more toward head side) than racket will said as head heavy configuration.

Head Light Configuration:

If you try to balance the racket on finger and find out that its balance point is closer to handle side (it means weight of the racket is more toward handle side) than racket will said as head light configuration.

Head light badminton rackets are consider as fast and quick as because of lesser weight on head side. This type of racket helps in fast swing speed which results into quick drive shots, quick drop shots and you can surprise your opponent by lightening fast swing speed.

Stiffness of the Shaft:

Stiffness_Badminton_racket_Khelmart

Stiffness_Badminton_racket_Khelmart

Shiftiness of the shaft is very important characteristics of a racket. Stiffness represents the amount of bending of a shaft. If shaft of racket is stiffer than it will be difficult to bend it. Stiff shaft transfer the maximum power to shuttle and suitable for those who love to play with more power on smash and shots.

Stiffness_Badminton_racket_Khelmart_concept

Stiffness_Badminton_racket_Khelmart_concept

Stiffer Shaft Rackets:

We know that if a shuttle hold on string bed for some time than there will be power on shots while on other hand if a shuttle repelled immediately after contact to string bed then there will some power loss.

Power on shuttle is transfer from string bed and it is depend on flexibility.

Stiffer Shaft offers lesser repulsion thus results into less power on shots. Rackets developed with stiffer shaft provide better control on shots.

As stiff shaft provide better control on shots so it will be suitable for players who love to play fast game with control shots on net area.

To handle the stiffer shaft rackets, advance level of badminton skills are required by player.

Yonex Voltric Z Force II is stiff shaft racket which offers extra ordinary speed and control to shuttle.

Flexible Shaft Rackets:

Flexible shaft are tends to flex during shuttle impact. With this action, shuttle holds on string bed for bit longer time and thus results into good repulsion. This action allow shaft to work as spring which Store energy during shuttle impact and releases it with more power.

So we can say that, Flexible shaft offers better power on shots as compare to stiff shaft.

As shuttle holds on string bed, so flexile shaft racket provide lesser control on shuttle and it is bit difficult to manage the shot control with flexible shaft.

Flexible shaft rackets are suitable for beginner to intermediate players.

Material of Rackets:

Following are some of the popular rackets used in Rackets

  • Aluminum Allow for beginner rackets
  • Carbon graphite material

Rackets made with carbon graphite material will be lightweight in nature and can sustain better impact and bending strength

Nowadays, manufactures are using higher grade graphite material for making the known as high Modulus. HM graphite provides better strength to racket along with better flexibility and durability.
