    I have been slicing quite regularly recently and either by coincidence or not, the tension on my strings has gone awkward. :eek: I was thinking that maybe it has something to do with how the birdie pushes off the racquet? Maybe it keeps pushing the strings to the sides?

    My question: Is slicing detrimental to the string tension of a badminton racquet? :confused:

    Answer: of course, more than hitting square/flat.

    Slicing more often and with more force is a great way to cultivate a relationship with your stringer ;).

    slicing of shuttles.

    Hi,
    Slicing of shuttles will make yr string misaligned and if u slicing is inaccurate and causes yr string to come in contact with the shuttles' central hard n sharp mini-shaft, yr string will definitely kaput.:eek:
    Personally, I think misalignment will cause yr string to lose abit of tension.;)
    Just my 2 cts.:p
