How to choose your badminton strings

Choosing the Right Badminton String

String Gauge

• Thinner strings: Offer more control and feel, but wear out faster.
• Thicker strings: More durable but less precise.

Choose thinner strings for finesse and thicker ones for durability.

String Tension

• High Tension: Provides control and precision. Suitable for experienced players but can feel stiff.
• Low Tension: Adds power and comfort. Ideal for beginners or players seeking a forgiving setup.

• Balanced Tension: A medium tension blends power and control, making it suitable for most playing styles.

Maintaining Your Strings

• Replace strings every 3–6 months or when performance declines.
• Protect strings from extreme temperatures and abrasive surfaces.
• Store your racket in a cover and inspect strings regularly for wear.
