Sports News] Expensive badminton rackets often do not come pre-strung, which
may puzzle some fans. The quality of a badminton racket primarily depends on
its material, design, and production process, whereas the choice of string
directly affects the feel of the shuttlecock and the durability of the racket.
High-priced badminton rackets usually offer advantages in terms of quality and
performance, such as being lighter in weight, having higher rigidity, and
better shock absorption. However, the choice of string is a personal preference
that varies based on a player’s technical characteristics and playing style.
Some players prefer softer strings for better feel, while others opt for
stiffer strings for improved control. To cater to the individual needs of
different consumers, brands provide a variety of strings with different
performance characteristics for players to choose and match with their rackets.
In official matches, some players even switch rackets during a game,
strategically using rackets with strings of different hardness to surprise and
outmaneuver their opponents. In summary, the absence of pre-strung strings in
expensive badminton rackets allows players to select strings that suit their
playing style and preferences, ensuring a customized experience on the court.
