That's right guys. Go to this URL http://www.badmintonzon.com/en/service/conseils.asp?SessionID=8200465986E17L13I08956DO8N4 CBMULH67A8TK0&Sport=badminton

Look at the part called string tension.

String tension

Tension of the strings goes from 18 kg or 40 pounds to 35 kg or 77 pounds. Several factors should be taken into account.

Your thoughts guys.

Fend,

Its a mix up on their website. If you look right at the top it says' Tenniszon', so obviously tips for tennis although if you click badminton it does load up thispage. It is tips for tennis rackets, so dont worry. For example down the page you got...

1.10mm = 18 Hyper fine

I dont think those strings would fit in a racket. Fine for badminton strings would be 0.60mm - 0.70mm etc

I think with that tension, a low flat serve would see the frame fold

It defintely is a poorly designed website to confuse people.

If you select Tennis, Badminton, Squash, Racquetball,
or Ping-Pong. If you read the text some where in the mid section, you come across rubber being glued onto balde which must be referred to Ping-Pong. HaHa:p :p
