  • I play tennis alongside badminton and have only played badminton about 10 times. At first I used a cheap racket that came pre-strung, and once I got to the point where I could enjoy matches somewhat, I asked to have it restrung and got the sad news that the max was 18 lbs, so I decided to buy a new one.
    Tennis rackets are heavy, so anything too light would actually be harder for me to handle, and I chose 3U5G. I play tennis at a decent level, so I decided on my own (lol) that my racket swing isn't beginner level, and maybe that was the right call, because it's far easier to handle than a beginner racket and overhead shots are flawless. However, maybe the head comes around too easily, because when receiving smashes or returning drops, the head gets out ahead of the shuttle and I've whiffed a few times... I guess that's just a matter of getting used to it.
    I had it strung at 25 lbs, but it could probably be a bit tighter. Maybe it's a characteristic of the racket, but it feels like it really grabs the shuttle, and I think the hold is almost too good.
    As you add more match tactics and shot variety, I think choosing a racket that suits your end goal from the start is one way to choose.
