Head Heavy:
Head heavy as we all know belongs to rackets where weight of racket is more at head side. This type of racket configurations gives maximum power in stroke. Badminton Head is the main part of racket which holds the racket string from top End. Racket Head weight is a critical parameters. If weight of the racket is more at head side then player will get more power on shots but at the same time it will be difficult to move racket fast.

Racket Head material is also play crucial role in overall performance of badminton player. If the racket head material is hard and brittle then it will become more stiffer which results into quick shuttle release from racket string bed while if racket head is made from ductile material then it will allow shuttle to flex on string bed and provide more control on shots.
