badminton racket is an important parameter of the racket. Most people only pay attention to the weight of the racket when buying a racket, and ignore other parameters. Two other important parameters of the racket are the balance point and the hardness of the racket shaft. Let me talk about the balance point first. The balance point is the distance from the center of gravity of the entire racket to the bottom cover of the racket handle. The larger the value, the stronger the aggressiveness of the racket, and the closer the center of gravity of the racket is to the head. The smaller the value, the closer the center of gravity of the racket is to the handle, and the lighter the swing. After testing

, we found that the test results are quite different from the information given by Yonex . For example, Yonex defines the Astrohawk series as an offensive racket, and defines the Lightning series as a fast-swinging racket. However, the actual measurement results show that the rackets with the highest balance point are Jiguang 500 and nr300 lt. Both racquets are in the head pat sequence.

We used brand new rackets for testing, without strings, plastic handles and hand glue. Only one racket of each racket was tested, and the average value was not tested, so the data of each racket will not be published. The following table is the balance point of the racket, arranged in order from high to low

Offensive racket balance point sorting

From the above table, it can be seen that the balance point of the newly launched Amazon 99PRO is a few millimeters higher than the original model. Amazon 100 zz, the balance point is not very high. Ji Guang 500, Ji Guang 800 LT, Ji Guang 555 are all offensive shots.

Balanced racquet and head pat

We can see from the table above that the two racquets with the lightest heads are from the Amazon series, one is called ability and the other is called clear.

There are also two unusual rackets, namely 88s tour and 88Dtour, which are supposed to be offensive rackets, but they are actually head-light rackets. Another important parameter of the

racket is the hardness of the racket. This parameter determines the speed of the racket. The higher the hardness, the faster the rhythm. The passive ball can be leveraged, the speed of the flat draw is fast, the defense is good, and the ball is controlled accurately. higher degree. But when taking the initiative to high ball and smash the ball, his power storage is not as good as a slightly softer racket. For this parameter, please refer to the parameter chart
