Enjoyed this one, thanks! I'm a beginner and started playing 9 months ago. Now to my gear, I just want to point out again that you don't need fancy stuff: Racket we bought years ago, know nothing about it. Yonex Mavis 350 blue/yellow because at uni those are the only ones other people want to play with and we don't use feather shuttles. Old running clothes I already had (shorts have a zipper, need it for my student ID). I bought new shoes for use inside, but after about 9 months I'm not sure if I made the right decision, something doesn't feel good. I don't get blisters or stuff like that, but I feel quite slow in them. All that goes into my backpack or a tote bag. All in all, it's not perfect but more than enough for me and it gets the job done, I'm having so much fun. I'm so happy to have found my favorite sport and something where I don't care so much about the gear 😂 Unfortunately I'm holding my racket the wrong way and need to relearn a lot, found that out through your videos. And I notice it while playing, too, it holds me back. I'll definitely need to sort out that shoe situation, though. I want to try feather shuttles, but right now I don't think that this is the right moment, I need to improve the foundation first, so I'll wait (cost is a factor). Oh and I'm a bit of a silly cyclist because I do need to hold my racket in the hand, sometimes even the tote bag, too. It just doesn't fit in the backpack. Greetings from Germany :)

Great video, but you are missing something increadibly important. While quickly mentioned as a back-up it should be highlighted IMO! And that is a bottle and snacks/powerrbars. I've seen too many people crash, sometimes faint, or develop headaches because they didn't drink enough or didn't eat enough. I even keep extra power bars with me to competition matchs and tournaments because there are always a few people that forget to eat!

@stevemawer848 16 күн бұрын

Once you've settled on a racquet you like, you should have (at least) two of them, so you have one to play with while your other one is being restrung. We don't all have on-site stringers doing a while-you-wait service (or a stringing machine)! Regarding shoe grip - mine were so grippy it made me fall over and break my wrist! Another point about shoes is that badminton shoe sizing seems to follow a law unto itself so you may need to go up a size or two from your "normal" shoe size - try before you buy! Another thing for your bag are plasters, just in case (bag?), and a pen to sign those autographs! 🙂

I would give a much higher performance rating to clothing though: wearing a cotton shirt in a high intensity game is way too uncomfortable as it doesn't wick away the sweat, it just collects in the shirt, making it heavy and clings to your body- much better to wear proper wicking polyester 😁

I’m still using my Proace sweetsport 1000, Proace widebody 55 rackets and Yonex carbonex 21sp rackets. Strung at 28lbs, BG68 strings, changed grips whenever grip felt worn (about 10 games) Rackets are kept well in a decent racket bag. Shoes are very important to me, I would rather spend on shoes than ok rackets. Footwork, technique and game IQ wins the game, not the most expensive racket in the world.

For me, i recommend beginners to use thinner strings at 24-26 lbs with LIGHT and FLEX racket, for example: VBS-63 at 24 lbs or VBS-66N at 26 lbs There are a lot of light and flex rackets today so i think beginners should be able to handle higher tension, but in the past (like 15-20 years ago) where rackets were mostly in 3U and less technology, lower tension is a must. I got my shoulder injury in my beginner days from a 3U racket at 26 lbs.. I think most of thick strings are hard feeling which consume more power and may increase injury, while thinner strings are softer so they are suitable for beginners and help them to increase power gradually

@JCbadminton 16 күн бұрын

@@januartjandra2830 I do agree with you on the 2 month mark to change strings. Just basing my experience stringing for people who were beginners and playing consistently. I've always gotten some people who would insist getting strings like BG80 or BG66 UM even though they are beginners. They would come back to me about a week or 2 later and say "My string broke". 100% of the time it was a miss hit by the player. This is mainly the reason why i recommend Either BG65 or BG65TI to beginners so it doesn't break on them so quickly due to miss hits. I do believe the colder/drier weather in my area does affect string life. Could be different in more humid areas. I personally only used BG65 in my early years because I did not hit consistently. I remember the first time I got BG80s, it broke within an hour... haha.

The most important equipment in badminton and in any sports is the correct SHOES. your legs and feet is important in performing most sports that’s why I choose the right type of shoes that I am most comfortable with. For me, its ok to buy low-mid range rackets,shuttlecocks,clothing,bag but badminton shoes is what I am not cheaping out for.
