Find the right racket weight, shoe size and apparel fit before you buy.
Badminton Rackets
Weight, Balance & Flex
Racket weight is labeled with a “U” class — the lower the number, the heavier the frame. Pair weight with balance point and shaft flex to find a racket that matches your playing style.
Weight Classes
| Class | Weight | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 2U | 90 - 94g | Maximum power for advanced players with fast, technical swings. |
| 3U | 85 - 89g | A balance of power and control, popular with intermediate to advanced players. |
| 4U | 80 - 84g | The most common choice — easy to maneuver, great for beginners and doubles. |
| 5U | 75 - 79g | Ultra-light for maximum speed and reaction time, favored in fast doubles play. |
Balance Point
Head-Heavy
Balance point above 295mm. More smash power, less maneuverability — suits attacking singles players.
Even Balance
Balance point between 285-295mm. A blend of power and control — the safest choice for beginners.
Head-Light
Balance point below 285mm. Fast reactions and quick swings — favored by doubles and net players.
Shaft Flex
Flexible
Generates power with a shorter, more compact swing — ideal for beginners still building technique.
Medium
An all-round shaft stiffness suited to most club-level and intermediate players.
Stiff
Rewards a fast, technically sound swing with precise, flat power — the choice of advanced players.
