U and G are are racket weight and grip size respectively. A smaller U number means a heavier racket, and a smaller G number means a larger grip. 3UG3 is around medium weight/grip size. For more info, please see http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...ion-quot-specifications-of-a-Badminton-racket
3U refers to the weight... which is 85-89 grams. G3 refers to the grip size... which is the quite big. The bigger the U, the lighter the racket is. For example: 2U=90-94g, 3U=85-89g, 4U=80-84g The bigger the G, the smaller the grip is. For example: G3=big, G4=smaller, G5=smallest Hope this clears things up.
yup, so mostly you'll find 3U G4 / 3U G5 / 4U G4 / 4U G5 You can hardly find G3 rackets these days. There is even a G6 for VT60! I used to prefer a bigger grip (double replacement over G5) but as i got better I have been reducing my grip size over time to only an overgrip directly on G5 wood
G3 is pretty common in the West/Europe you know, in fact 3UG3 is the norm. Usually only 3UG3 and/or 4UG4 are available ...
Didn't know Yonex released a new racket. Is it similar to the VoltrIc 80? Seriously, over here it depends on the model. They release the heavy ones in the largest grip size, and the lighter ones 1 size smaller with G3 as the largest. If the weight of a racket is 2U and 3U, it will be delivered as 2U-G3 and 3U-G4. If it's available in 3U and 4U, it will be delivered as 3U-G3 and 4U-G4. They don't deliver G5 at all over here. I think they assume most Western people have larger hands compared to the Asians...
You must be referring to the Yonex Germany website (I did notice but too much explaining for each separate range or model ). Yonex Benelux "never" imports the 2U versions nor does the UK or Scandinavia iirc (most others really) and they have 3UG3 NS series and ArcSaber ...
