How to Understand the Pull of Racket Strings
Among the most important things in note in preparation for playing badminton is to determine the readiness of the racket. A good racket can work optimally if you can understand the pull of racket strings that match the type of the player. Racket as good as any if he does not understand the pull of the strings then the result is less than the maximum. Especially in an event or official game then pay attention to the pull of the appropriate strings is a must that must be understood.
The secret of pulling the 1st string
First of all you have to decide which type of string you will use:
thick strings for the power player
thin strings for the control player
"How can you tell if you are a power player or a control player?"
Ask your friends to watch while you are playing. Do not you decide, why? Because most of them are thinking about what they want (eg I want a reliable smasher attacker) and not the reality on the ground (Example: the fact is I rarely do smash and do too many drop shots and lobs). Examples of some strings for power players are bg-65, 95, 65ti, ashaway ML, R4 × 300, etc. Examples of some strings for control player are bg-66, 68ti, 85, asahaway MP, R4 × 100/200, gosen pro- 66, etc.
General guidance on pulling the strings: The tighter the pull, the power decreases (within a certain limit), the control increases The lag of the pull, the power increases (within a certain limit), the control decreases The above assumption applies in the pull range 18 s / d 35 lbs I know until now there is no pro player who more than 35lbs). Does this mean 18 lbs gives the maximum power? The answer is no, the maximum power of each player is different. The higher the power of the blow swing, the maximum power is obtained from a higher pull (within a certain limit). This particular limit is the search for players, especially beginners. That's why I say the pull of each player's string is not the same, and one of them depends on the power of the swing.
The secret of pulling the 2nd string
Follow these steps:
- Find sparring partner 1 person, play half field single.
- You must stand at the back of the baseline, at the cock using 75% power with clear to baseline technique.
- See the final result, does the cock fall between 2 baseline lines? Repeat for approximately 5-6 experiments. When out means your pull is less high, and if not until the baseline line front means your pull is too high (alias height).
- Now you do the same thing but this time with 100% power swing power swing.
- See the final result, does the cock fall out more than 20 cm behind the baseline line? Repeat for 5-6 attempts. If it does not get out more than 20cm, then your pull is too high, and should be reduced.
- If result no. 3 and 4 are in accordance with the percentage of more than 80% means you have found a suitable pull for you. Once you find the ideal stretch tension for you, try to feel if there is an increase in your game.
The Basic Principles are:
Pull Tight = More comfortable for control
Low Pull = More Powerful
