How to choose a racket string that suits you
Different racket strings have great differences in the thickness of the string diameter, the softness and hardness of the string, elasticity, durability, ball control, and hitting sound. What string is suitable for you? You can choose according to the parameters of the racket and your own playing habits.
Whether the poundage of the string is appropriate is also very particular. For example, when the elastic string reaches a certain poundage, its landing accuracy will be improved to a certain extent. As for the string that focuses on control performance, its weight is too low and it cannot reflect the characteristics of precise control of landing point.
The sweet spot is the effective hitting area of the racket surface. As the poundage of the racket string increases, the size of the sweet spot on the badminton racket will also shrink accordingly. Therefore, the higher the poundage, the higher the accuracy requirements for the hitting point and the greater the power required for hitting the ball. Correspondingly, the requirements for arm strength are also greater, and the number of pounds should be selected based on personal strength.
In addition to choosing a string that fits the racket and the corresponding poundage, ordinary golfers should also consider the durability of the string. Golfers who are in the beginner stage or playing in dry and cold environments, VBS-69N, VBS-70 and VBS- Durable strings such as 70P are obviously more suitable, with a stable feel and stronger durability.
