Additional Factors:
You might have noticed that there are other racket specs that I haven’t mentioned.
That’s because frankly, they aren’t as important so it isn’t worth spending much time thinking about. But to be thorough, I’ll run through them quickly.
Grip size. Sizes range from G1 to G6 where 1 is the thickest. Choosing a grip is just a matter of what fits your hand. Most rackets are gripped G3 or G4, which are fine for most. If in doubt, go for a thinner grip as you can easily add an overgrip.
Material. You should look for a racket made of graphite. But pretty much all rackets these days are.
Brand. It doesn’t matter which company you choose to buy a racket from as long as they’re fairly reputable. There’s plenty to choose from, but don’t overthink it.
Racket “technologies”. Mostly marketing hype, and shouldn’t impact your decision making process too much.

After 15 years, we finally found the forbidden knowledge! Thank you mate! Tears of joy

I finally gave in and made a video on it. I never did it before because WAY too many players spend too much time thinking about what racket to buy - when in reality improving your skill as a badminton player is always going to be much more important than any racket decision. But since it keeps getting asked and you do need to choose a racket at some point, I decided to make this guide. Use the information to make an informed decision, but do it quickly. It's a total waste of time to spend hours deliberating over what the ideal racket is, when you could be using that time to train instead.

Man what you did I sick!! I've been playing for almost 10 year and I think the explanation you give can't be easier to understand for a beginner!

As a new badminton player, I find this information very important. I was, at one point, going crazy over the racket specs in order to ‘improve’ my game and I came across a video on YouTube that said exactly what you say: concentrate on putting the shuttle where there is a hole on the other side of the net. Since then, my game has improved a lot. Having said that, I think that shoes are very important, as I have suffered from feet and lower leg injuries. And I find that not much information is out there. I am on my 3rd (soon 4th) pair of shoes in 1,5 years of playing. And only now am I understanding what I am looking for. There are some videos on what the best shoes are, but mostly from a marketing standpoint, not from a user standpoint. Thank you very much for a very informative channel.

Im a county player and have been playing for over half my life and I learnt things I never knew

Hey! Thanks for this really helpful video, glad too see more of it !

I would say weight 84g to 86g and stiff rackets are better. I went to a lot factories in China, plus was associated with a brand called, x-trm for 7 years. So tested a lot of rackets, I was also the test player for wilson rackets. Not easy to find that perfect racket, but good video to break it down.
