How Do You Restring A Badminton Racket?
Badminton can provide a great cardiovascular workout in addition to being a fun pastime. As with many sports, the quality of your equipment can make all the difference. A badminton racket needs regular care to fix broken or loose strings. With a stringing machine, you can restring a badminton racket in your home. Decide what kind of string you want for your racket. Strings can be made from either natural gut or synthetic fibers. There are pluses and minuses to each type, but in general, gut strings are softer, synthetic more durable. Determine what tension level you’ll need for your new strings. The tighter the strings, the more control you’ll have. Looser strings will have more bounce, allowing you to hit for greater distances. Buy a stringing machine. Though these are expensive–you can easily spend more than $1,000 on one–if you are a regular player, it will pay for itself over the years of use you will get from one.
