I just use black conduction tape. I usually put two to three layers of it to try to make my racquets head-heavy. Oh.. and I also do that to hide all the paint-chips on the frame
Not scratching your precious badminton racquet........is it really important? Come on man, just enjoy the game. It sounds silly to me to go to the extent of taping the racquet. For goodness sake ,it's just a piece of equipment for you to utilise. I don't have any objection on taking care of not breaking or denting it. If you are going to that kind of extent, you are missing the whole picture.
How are we 'missing the whole picture' just by taping the racquet frame.. For some people like me, they're not 'just a piece of equipment'. So, different story.
Well, to each it's own. I'll rather focus on the game. I got nothing more to comment on this. If my comments sounds offensive to you, I apologize. Cheers.
I did that..using the electric cable tape.Applied 2 layers..n gained about 1-2cm balance to heavier head.The poor thing is,the stickers on the racket is chipped,once i pull it off for restring.Guess i must pull it off slowly next time.
I taped the frame with the useless Yonex finishing tape which comes with every YY grip I buy. My AT700 is like a table-tennis racquet now
i noticed on my racket that after a while when i pick up the shuttlecock with my racket the paint wears out or chips. Does anybody also have that problem? I think it is the way how i pick up the shuttlecock.
brands??? what brand of eletrical cable did u guys use? i tried unibell, dun have written origin though guessed should be locally made in indo it wasn't good, the glue can't realli hold and it left a considerable amount of glue when you took it away just changed to 3M Scotch Super 33+ Electrical Tape, seems better the price is (RP13,000) for 66ft long 150% more exp than unibell hope it won't disappointing branded ones like yonex and mizuno is way too exp yonex is 800 yen for 5m long
you can try babolat brand, but adding some tape will screw the balance point of your racket, and makes your arm tired easier
well, i havent tried in a game yet ..... doing it tonight. btw, 3m electrical tape cant stick as well as i expected but it didnt leave glue when u take it off sifuyono, where can i find the babolat tape? well, i domicile in malang the sporting goods shop doesnt really have much to offer. any shop recommendation in your city?
go for tennis shop, you may try golden sport at kedungsari, but i cannot guarantee the store still provide that thing
Does the brand matters so much??I don't think so..as long as it works as it was meant to be..i mean,protecting our babies from scratching..n maybe add some lil weight on the head..
nope, the brand doesnt realli matter, but quality does. i found that 3M is better than that local unibell brand in terms of stickiness. however i dun feel significant weight in the head with just 1 layer. the important thing is that it does protect the head from the way we are picking up our feather with the racket. i do hope that i also can protect the head when rackets clash in double play. sifuyono, i thought u already tried the babolat tape. but i'll stick to 3M and also reccomend it since branded n specifically made tape for racket head protection arent widely available for us imo.
