Flexible and Headlight badminton rackets for advanced or professional badminton players - If you have a good command of the strokes, and you are well aware of the type of racket you are looking for, you can start looking for the right racket.

It is very important to make the right choice and to pay attention to your own qualities and what you want to achieve. If you keep this in mind, you will be unbeatable on the court and show your best game!
Why choose a flexible and headlight badminton racquet?
Flexible grip heavy rackets are good for players looking for comfort and maximum agility. At the net, in fast rallies and in smash defenses, this racquet performs best. Because of the headlight balance, you can handle the racket fast, and you are ultra maneuverable. The flexibility of the racquet makes it easier to hit power shots, and at the same time it offers a lot of comfort because it absorbs the vibrations. This makes it very arm friendly, and you will generally have a lower chance of arm injuries.
Suitable for many badminton players
A flexible and headlight badminton racket is suitable for many players. If you are injury prone, the racket will catch a lot of vibrations because of its flexibility. These vibrations will be less in your shoulder etc., which will make it easier for you to play badminton. We recommend this type of racket especially for advanced youth players or badminton players who have a defensive style of play.

Info about flexibility badminton rackets
The flexibility is divided between stiff, medium flex and flexible (Stiff ○○●○ Flexible). Do you have enough strength and technique, and do you want more control? Then you should choose a medium flex / stiff badminton racket. (The stiffer the racket, the quicker it will punish mistakes and the more power you have to draw from your technique and arm, but the advantage is more accuracy and control). If you do not have that much strength, you should look for a more flexible badminton racquet. This will help you to develop speed in your strokes.
Info about of the balance of the rackets
The weight distribution is mainly determined by your style of play and is divided between head heavy, balanced and grip heavy. If you are a defensive badminton player, you will have to defend smashes more often and play short games at the net. Therefore, a headlight badminton racket is an ideal addition to your playing style. Are you an offensive player and do you prefer to constantly attack your opponent, and they can only defend? Then a head heavy racket is ideal to support your offensive game even more. Of course, you can also choose the middle ground and then a balanced racket is the perfect choice.
Weight
Have you determined which flexibility and balance is best for your style of play? Select the weight class of your racket. Do you prefer a U6 racket (70-75 grams without strings) or a 3U racket (85-90 grams without strings)? Depending on your style of play, you can make the right selection here. If you play a lot at the net, if you play a lot of doubles, if you are prone to injuries or if you just want to be very maneuverable, a lighter racket is recommended. Less weight = more maneuverability.
If you are an offensive player, you play a lot in the backfield, and you are not injury-prone, it is better to select a heavier racket. More weight = more power. Determine your style of play and what you need help with during the game. The racquet is and remains an extension of you as a badminton player.
