Badminton enthusiasts with a certain age know better what type of badminton racket they are suitable for and what weight each type of racket is suitable for.
For beginners who are new to badminton, they are not very clear about the difference between badminton racket 3U, 4U, and 5U, how should they choose?
Today's article will talk about the weight (U) of a badminton racket, and how much U is more suitable for you.
1. What is U
U refers to the weight of the racket, the product parameters are marked, the racket cone cover is also marked, the larger the number of U, the lighter the racket, the smaller the number in front of U, the heavier the racket, the current mainstream racket weight is 3U \4U \5U \6U, the weight is as follows:
2U: 90~94 grams
3U: 85~89 grams
4U: 80~84 grams
5U: 75~79 grams
6U: 73~78 grams
The above table can clearly know the weight range, 2U is the heaviest, 6U is the lightest, of course, the racket is more lightweight, even some as light as 10U, but it is not the lighter the better, nor the heavier the better, the following will be explained.
二、3U、4U、5U的区别
3U: 85~89 grams
4U: 80~84 grams
5U: 75~79 grams
6U: 73~78 grams
The biggest difference between 3U, 4U, 5U, and 6U is the difference in weight, and the difference in the weight of the racket in static conditions.
If you have held different types of rackets, you will find that even if it is the same 4U racket, the actual grip feels different in weight, and the weight you feel when swinging the racket is also different, which is related to the balance point.
The balance point is close to the racket head, that is, the head is heavy, and the balance point is close to the racket handle, which is the head tap, because we hold the racket is the hand on the racket handle, the same weight of the racket, if the racket head is heavy, it will naturally feel heavier to pick up, if the head is light, it will be lighter to pick up, it is very easy to understand, just like an axe, the end of the axe handle feels heavy, and the end of the axe feels light.
The balance point of 295mm is moderate, the balance point is greater than 295mm, the higher the balance point, the heavier the head, the balance point below 295mm belongs to the head light, the smaller the balance point value, the lighter the head.
Third, you should choose a few U
In the end, how many U to choose, should not simply look at the weight of the racket itself, but also consider the balance point of the racket, combined with the swing weight, that is, the weight of the racket to feel when swinging, in fact, there is a professional wave weight tester, you can measure the weight of each racket, the larger the weight, the more difficult the racket to control, the easier it is to get started.
The swing weight is both offensive and defensive in the 84-88 range, the swing weight is lower than that of 84 defensive rackets, and the swing weight is heavier than that of 88 offensive rackets, and the values are only used as a reference.
If the balance point is relatively low, 3U and 4U feel very light, the balance point is about 295mm, beginners can consider the weight of 4U, the balance point is about 300mm, beginners can choose 5U or 6U rackets.
The above is just some advice for newbies, if you are a power player, advocate backcourt offense, full of stamina, and talented, then 3U, head heavy, small frame, pull 30 pounds, how to violence.
Suggestion: Novice 4U, balance point of about 295mm balance racket, you can also choose 5U or 6U, balance point of about 300mm of light offensive racket, the middle bar is moderate or a little softer, can be easily controlled.
