hi! just asking a qns here..for example BG80 has a very high repulsion so wad does this repulsion do?does it makes ur smash more powerful?if so then wad about the clear?does it allows u to clear from base to base easier? and wad bout control?shock absorption? eg. does control helps in netting or anything? Someone pls help me THX!if a thread lyk this is posted somewhere else pls let me noe!
properties of strings is DEEP PHYSICS ok? many factors affect the props of strings and how its performance at impact of shuttle, to name a few: 1. string tension 2. string material and surface, including coating 3. weaving (double, triple or quadruple) 1. string tension use your imagination. string when strung is like a guitar string, the higher the tension, the higher the pitch, hence less string vibration. as tension increases, string repulsion at impact goes exponentially up, reaches a max point (optimum tension), then comes exponentially down. like jumping on a trampoline, tension too low, you won't bounce, tension too high, you won't bounce either, and there is one optimum tension where you bounce 3 storey high... just like that. high tension favours net control, because the shuttle won't bounce. low tension robs energy at shuttle impact, while high tension gives max transfer of energy (min energy loss), hence you can say high tension favours smashers, that's if you have a strong smash. 2. string material and surface, including coating this will affect shuttle spin, shuttle impact time and ability to slice the shuttle. the rougher the surface, the more control you can do to the shuttle, but longer contact time at impact. the slippier the surface, easier to do slice shots, shorter contact time, shuttle flies away from string faster. 3. weaving your string is like a rope, some old models are double-woven, almost all models you find in the market are triple-woven, some brands like Gosen R4X are quad-woven. i won't comments too much about their difference, because i am not 100% sure. quad-woven strings are "supposed" to be stronger and more durable, but then it depends on thickness of string. the thinner the string, and at high tension, the easier it will break (that's common sense, not physics).
eh thx but if higher tension gives u more powerful smashes,then does it makes it easier for the shuttle to reach the base line when u use an overhead clear to the base line?
That's only if you have the correct technique. You can clear baseline to baseline with ease with almost any tension if you are very experienced, but a beginner will have trouble doing that even if the racquet is strung at high-tensions. You must experiment with the tensions by yourself, until you find your optimal tension.
