The Champion Sports Heavy-Duty Steel Badminton Racket is a durable and powerful choice for badminton players. Its tempered steel frame and shaft offer exceptional strength, while the nylon-coated steel strings provide explosive power. The dimpled leather grip ensures a comfortable and secure hold. For optimal performance, consider a slightly higher string tension to combat faster loosening. If you're a powerful smasher, a flexible frame can offer added control. Always store your racket in a cool, dry place to prevent string tension issues. Before storing for extended periods, loosen the strings slightly to avoid permanent deformation. Remember to warm up your strings by gently hitting the shuttle for a few minutes before playing to adjust tension and prevent breakage. This official size 26"L racket is available in blue. Champion Sports offers a wide variety of rackets to suit every need.
