Do you know what it means to have a higher tension racket?
The higher the tension of the badminton racket, the greater the string tension of the racket, the tighter the string, and the greater the rebound force felt by the player when hitting the ball. This rebound can help players play the speed and power of the ball more easily, while having better control over where the ball lands, improving the accuracy of the shot.
However, high-tension rackets also have their drawbacks. Due to the tightness of the strings, players need to withstand more reaction forces when hitting the ball, which can increase the burden on the wrist and may even lead to wrist injuries. In addition, high-tension strings are more likely to break due to overuse or improper operation and need to be replaced frequently.
Compared to high-tension rackets, low-tension rackets have relatively loose strings, allowing players to feel softer when hitting the ball and putting less strain on their wrists. However, the low-tension racquet string provides less rebound and can affect the player's speed and power while controlling the landing point of the ball relatively poorly.
Therefore, it is very important to choose the right pound for you. For those with less strength or beginners, it is advisable to choose a lower tension to reduce the burden on the wrist and help improve the technical level. And for players with more strength or a higher level of skill, you can choose a higher tension to better play the advantages of the racket and improve the performance of the game.
It is worth noting that the tension of the badminton racket is not the only factor that determines the performance of the racket, the material, shape, weight and other factors of the racket will also affect the performance of the racket. Therefore, when choosing a badminton racket, in addition to considering the number of pounds, you also need to consider other factors comprehensively to choose the most suitable racket for you.
In conclusion, the higher the tension of the badminton racket, the greater the string tension and the greater the rebound force, but it may also increase the risk of string breakage under the burden on the wrist. Choosing the right tension for you needs to consider factors such as your skill level, strength and wrist condition to choose the most suitable racket for you and improve your performance.
