The "U", the "G" and the "tension" specifications of a Badminton racket

[chris-ccc]

hi everyone

Does carlton rackets have similar grap size measurement with yonex?

i planning to get calton airblade 1000 with G5 as yonex measurement...

.
Exact measurement size (whether in inches or cms), I do not know.

But in both Yonex and Carlton, the smaller the Grip Size number, the bigger the grip/handle size.

Therefore, your Calton Airblade 1000 with G5 is with the smallest handle.

As commented by terror in Post #16;

here u go:

dont know which grip size suits u? just go into the shop and pick up 2 rackets with G4 and G5 grips separately, and swing them about. give or take a little, depending on whether u plan to wrap an overgrip directly over the original or tear off the factory grip first. whichever feels more comfortable is the one u should go with.

weight wise, u really have to look at your own playing style and strength

good luck

Could we list those brands that produce G5 > G4 > G3 > G2 > G1 ?
.

APACS, the larger the number, the larger the grip.

Yes, it's informative but I hope that one day BWF could step in to tell ALL racket manufactures to follow an universal system for "G" grip sizes.

For "Tension" of recommended racket stringing, manufacturers are informing us in either/both in 'Kilograms' (Kg) and/or in 'Pounds' (Lb).

For "U" weight of the rackets, manufacturers are now informing us in 'Grams'.

For the weight of shuttlecocks, BWF is still allowing 'Grains' and 'Grams' to be used. However, Yonex is still using the No.1 to No.5 for their shuttlecock speeds.

Yes, I really hope that BWF can standardise the weight/measurement info for our Badminton.
