Stringing Advice: 16 – 20 lbs.
This racket comes factory strung with brand recommended strings inclusive in the price.
However, customised string selection and tension requests are available once this racket is added to the cart. Simply select your string and we will do the rest! Or if you do not wish to have your racket custom strung (receive ‘as is’ strung with factory strings) just click the ‘NO THANKS’ tab. For assistance, please email info@playerssports.co.nz
As a guide only, please allow for 3 – 7 working days for custom stringing to be completed.
Badminton rackets are labelled with two parts:
-
Weight (U number) – tells you how heavy the racket is.
-
Grip size (G number) – tells you how thick the handle is.
-
The grip size comes immediately after the weight code.
For example, in 3F5: 3F = racket weight & 5 = Grip size (83mm circumference)
Racket Weights
Choosing the right racket weight makes a big difference to how you play. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you pick the right fit.
-
3F (60–64g): Very light and easy to swing. Great for juniors or new players who want a racket that’s easy to handle.
-
2F (65–69g): Ultra-light, helps beginners react quickly and focus on control rather than power.
-
U (99g+): Heavy, stable frames. Common in entry-level rackets where durability is more important than speed.
Quick tip for new players, Lighter rackets (F series) are easier to learn with and reduce strain on your arm, while heavier rackets can feel solid but may slow you down.
Grip Sizes
Badminton racket grips/sizes should be big enough so that when holding the handle correctly (like shaking someone’s hand), the tip of your ring finger shouldn't touch your palm.
-
G4 – 86mm circumferential grip size.
-
G5 – 83mm circumferential grip size.
-
G6 – 80mm circumferential grip size.
If you are unsure on your racket grip size, you can always make it bigger with the addition of an overgrip.
Please note: racket weights and grip sizes can vary slightly between brands.
