(eg 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 lbs etc). saw a lot of videos and website talking about different tensions but never seen one showing what the shots like. it would be great if you could be the first to demonstrate.

    I have seen advance club players who use the highest end racquets with thin strings strung at 30 lbs while hitting plastic shuttles. They don't seem to understand why they are snapping strings every few weeks & have tennis elbow. I suspect they are hitting the shuttle harder to try to make the shuttle travel farther & faster. My beginner friend tried 28 lbs while playing with an extra stiff racquet to hit feather shuttles; he hurt his shoulder.

  • @BestofBadminton
    @BestofBadminton 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think thickness mainly means more resistance to abrasion whereas sticks snap from tensile strength. Shoutout to Ellis/Smith I see! Question: Does hard/soft correlate with repulsion at all?
    Great video- Hope to see more from you!

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Strings may also snap before they wear out! Usually at a higher tension! We were mainly trying to reiterate the point with that example! Hard/Soft may correlate to repulsion yes! Usually most strings will indicate their feel and also their repulsion rating on the packaging. You can compare this to the others in their range to see what you like best!

  • @TPToE
    @TPToE 3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Great video! A question for you: with string choice, would you recommend biasing towards a player's strengths to enhance them or biasing towards their weaknesses to compensate for them? For example, if a player has good power but lacks feel around the net, would it be better to emphasise the power or lean more towards control to balance out their game?

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Great question Max! We mentioned this a little in our 'how to choose a racket video' it really depends on your personal preference! We feel a lot of players like to hone in on their strengths and having a set up that suits them gives them more confidence!

    A question for anyone...does temperature affect string tension? I played with my racquet yesterday (warm temperature ) and it felt great! I played with the same racquet this evening (cold temperature) and it felt like I was playing with a sledgehammer (really heavy and not as responsive)

    • @BadmintonInsight

    Awesome video and answered pretty much everything I had in my mind, going up the strings from BG65 at 9.5kg(~21lbs) to Nanogy 99 at 10.5-11kg (~24 lbs). One question though:
    If I do break a string with a higher tension like this, how should I cut the strings off to release tension? I read a few things like cutting some crosses first, then mains then crosses and mains. Should I cut the racket in a particular spot on the racket like from the middle to the outer area, or something similar?

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thanks Jussi :) Don't worry too much about releasing the tension at 24lbs - the racket will be able to copy with this quite easily. Usually we would recommend starting from the middle and working outwards.
      We actually did a short 30 second video on our channel of a quick way to cut your strings out! Hope that helps.

    Good video and thank you. There are also VBS 69 nano and VBS 70 Power on the Victor range. Perhaps they are not available in Europe.
    It would be good to do a video on stringing pattern. For example Gosen, Yonex, Victor, Adidas etc so that players can verify if their rackets are strung correctly. 1 or 2 string patter, knot positions and how the knots should be tied to minimize tension loss. I have seen strings with knots buried in the grommet, twisted on the sides and not straightened to finish.
    Also perhaps do some reviews on the different types of shuttles (plastic, air, duck, goose, hybrid), differences between flight, trajectory, durability, when to use different speed (hot/cold climate, humidity, air thickness, sea level) and how to store feather shuttles.

      @sietaylor84 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@karnailsingh3005 although your racket wouldn’t be covered warranty wise if the frame was damaged due to higher than recommended tensions the frame will take the tension (unless it’s a basic racket!).
      Both the Astrox and Z Force will take that tension comfortably. Most Yonex rackets for example have 28lbs as the highest recommended however almost every player on the professional circuit will have exceeded this limit.
      As for which racket to go for, that’s all preference in terms of what balance and frame stiffness you like, if you have a chance to hit with them first that always helps.

    I’ve been playing competitive, coaching and stringing racquets for over a decade now. And I think this is the only video where everything this man said was accurate. I kinda slightly have different ranges for beginner, intermediate and advanced player tensions tho. Also I 100% agree the higher tension thing amongst guys is a superiority complex I’ve seen players who mishit all the time ask for 28 or higher tension and I’m like if that’s what you want I’ll do it but I don’t recommend it.

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Thank you very much for your kind words! What ranges would you suggest? As mentioned in the video it was only a rough guide and everyone has different opinions on whether they are 'beginner, intermediate or advanced"! Sounds like you're also on the same mission to get people to reduce their tension who don't need it as high 🤣
      A lot of stringers will happily say nothing or even recommend higher tension as it will break quicker and they will get more business! I've just had a racket in from an intermediate player who knew nothing about string and they had aerosonic in their racket at 28lbs - they said that's what the stringer recommended! I'm putting a 0.70mm gauge in at 24lbs!

    • @kenkyuen
      @kenkyuen 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Badminton Insight I think it’s because we have different perceptions of what advanced players are. I think your definition of advanced is players who play nationals or higher level tournaments. My definition of advanced is anyone who trains and competes in tournaments. So my ranges are beginning 23lbs or less, intermediate 23-26lbs, advanced 27lbs+ which is roughly the same as yours. Also the part where you talked about higher tension smaller sweet spot I’ve been saying for years and almost no one says that. Most videos just say lower tension more power and higher tension more control which isn’t the full truth.

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes completely agree with you! Those ranges are probably more accurate if you lower the standard of an ‘advanced player’ yes!
      That’s the main reason we made this video, because so many people don’t explain it well or are actually saying false information!

    • @hobikidalbadminton
      @hobikidalbadminton 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree, I've seen my friend who use 28+ lbs even though they are not play that well just because the stringer told them to. I'd say the standard tension would be 24lbs, and I recommend for beginner to use 24lbs if they are still in 20's of age. So their muscle and skills can develop, rather than the string tension follow the human skill and power.
      I myself after 14 years of absent and start playing again using 24lbs and after 5 years, now I gradually move to 27lbs.

It's not an easy skill but you have both nailed it on the production and delivery side. Quick question about string and tension advice, I would say I am an intermediate player and play 4/5 times a week with plastic shuttles (Yonex Mavic 600) and would like to ask what string you would recommend and at what tension. I am a bit of an all rounder but pretty much play at the back and would like to consistently smash with power and clear with distance both backhand and forehand - Thanks

    I thought harder feeling strings control better than softer which repulse better. I had BG66 Ultimax 25lbs on my 3U LD Force. It feels slow, bouncy, soft and the shuttle "flies everywhere". Once I changed to BG80 30lbs, I felt much more control and shots are solid. I could do very good drops with it since.

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It's no surprise that changing from 25lbs to 30lbs will have made a huge difference as this is a big change in tension! If you use BG66 Ultimax at 30lbs you will notice a huge difference and should feel slightly more control the BG80 at 30lbs. Of course this would be less durable! Again it is personal preference and what works for you 😊

    Hello, can I ask about main and cross tension? why is it that the cross is more higher than the main? In my logic, should the main is higher because it span longer, but why it's the other way around? thanks in advance.

    Hi @BadmintonInsight great video!
    Would you recommend lowering tension slightly for playing with plastic shuttles? My new club uses plastics, and I'm finding clears and smashes require much more effort at my usual 27lbs. Some people suggest ~2-3lbs lower, but restringing in expensive in my area.

    • @BadmintonInsight

      Hi Daniel! Yes probably a good idea to go down to 24lbs 😊

  • @johntaylor8245
    @johntaylor8245 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    A common question I'm sure you get asked all the time but when someone asks you for a certain tension, how do you differentiate between mains/cross tensions? E.g. if a player asks for 25lbs do you do that racquet a) 25lbs mains and cross, b) 25 mains/27 cross (allowing for +2/10% on crosses), c) mains 23/crosses 25, d) mains 24/crosses 26? I realise that this now sounds like a quiz question haha!

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Hi John, good question! I would usually ask if they would like 10% on the cross strings, if not (which most people would say) then I would just string 25lbs on the mains and crosses. Anything above 28lbs I would always do 10% higher on the crosses regardless if they wanted it or not. Unless they specifically said they didn't want it if that makes sense?
      So I would say a mixture of a and b! 😀 Hope that helps! Greg

  • @piratevv
    @piratevv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I ordered a hybrid string called yonex aerobite boost, i just got to know that it will have a thicker and a thinner..
    1) what is the recommended tension for thicker and thinner? should i use the same tension
    2) should i use thicker strings vertically and thinner strings horizontally?

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      There is no set recommended tension. It is common to have the cross (horizontal) strings 10% higher than the mains. Many people still have them the same tension though so don't get too hung up on that.
      The thicker strings should be the vertical strings as this is what usually breaks first. It should state this on the packet or reel.
      Hope that helps 😃

  • @T11ky
    @T11ky 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Badminton Insight,
    Liking your channel so far; but have any thoughts on thicker strings being strung at higher tensions? (Say 28lbs+?) And also strings that have tension lost/leak? Just because I enjoy their overall durability yet able to dish out power and control all at the same time (since using bg65/65tis/BG70 Pros, I haven't broken any strings naturally).
    I'm singling out the yonex strings BG-65/65tis here, as they lose their tension relatively quicker than most strings(Other people who uses BG65/65tis). And that the BG70 Pro strings is the "new" BG65 string as their tension leakage holds it better than the BG-65/BG65tis. Are thicker strings strung at higher tensions better in the long run?
    Thanks for your vids!

    Im currently using Lining no1 @26 on apacs z ziggler.. and its about to break.. looking to experience the other strings..
    What would you recommend bg 66 um or bg 80..? ( and color). looking for extra power + durability..
    And one more thing if i use bg 66um cross and bg65 main, will that help me to get power as well as durability? If yes would you recommend any specific tension for main and cross as these are different guages?
    Thankyou🙏

    • @BadmintonInsight
      @BadmintonInsight  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thank you very much and sorry for the late reply! If you wanted power and durability we would go for bg80 over bg66 um. Bg 66 um on the cross and 65ti on the main is not widely done but could be a good option to try out! It completely depends on your ability and also how durable you want the string to be. Maybe try 26lbs on mains and 28lbs on crosses as a start point?

      When I worked for you Yehlex/APACS I only used certain types of string. It would still be nice to have knowledge of other strings.
      I’ve used BG 65 before and it’s a nice string and so is Ashaway rally 21.
      I must admit now though, I like the thinner gauge string as the feel is much better.

    Hey guys, my name is Bennet and I am from Germany.😃👋 In the last year alone I broke two rackets and each time it was after hitting the shuttle and not a clash, hitting the ground or any collision of that sort. And before the breaking, my strings were always shifting while playing, deviating from a straight line more into the shape of a curve. Now I wonder wether it's just my bad technique, like slicing to much or something else, or wether my rackets might have been strung badly (wrong tention and/or gauge of the strings) for my level. They looked exactly like the broken racket Greg showed in the video. I never used to break rackets in the past and only did so after moving and having my rackets strung by a new shop. I would be extremely thankful if you guys could give me any tips as to why my rackets keep breaking and my strings aren't staying in place. Thank you and please keep up the amazing content you guys provide!👍
