tension

Hello guys, I am planning to buy a Yonex Voltric Z-Force 2 racket. I have never bought a racket before so I am not sure how much tension and what type of string I should buy. I would say I am an intermediate player. I like to be offensive player and I like power and control. I am thinking of...

Hi, I have been using this machine for a few years now. Last week, while tightening the cross string on an old racquet @ 24lbs, the string suddenly snapped. I started again and the string snapped again immediately, and I also noticed that the tension head made a strange noise just before...

What is the best strings and the preferable string tension for voltric 5?

Hey guys, Can't seems to find any thread on this (or maybe I didn't look hard enough). I used to string my racquets at 24lbs in Malaysia. When I came to Australia, strung a racquet at 24lbs, it was nowhere near the 24lbs that I strung in Malaysia (the strings can easily be moved up and down...

For those whose machines fitted with ECP, did anyone actually measure the actual tension compared to the set tension? For example, if you string a racket at 26 lbs, is it actually pulling 26 lbs and not more? I am asking because rackets strung with ECP machines usually feels tighter than...

Hi, Is there any way to measure the tension on a racket that is already strung?

Hi BC folks, I have a Gamma 6004 crank machine and my fixed swivel clamps have a flat spinning dial to adjust the tightness of the gripper. I'm always having to adjust the tightness of my fixed clamp when I string using different string gauges. Is there a general guideline as to how tight the...

Hi all! I recently purchased a Yonex Ti-5 Titanium Mesh 2011 Limited Edition from ebay. It should be arriving soon and I am so excited. I am currently using Yonex Arcsaber 009DX and I can't say I like it because it just seems to heavy. Anyways, it is written on the racket specs that the...

Hi everybody, I am an intermediate level doubles player, playing for leisure, looking for a racquet to suit my playing style given belowNot much of attacking player, I smash/strike with a lot of accuracy to empty spaces and body shots. Would like my bat to enhance my shot strength especially...

Hi guys! So today its my first time restringing my Arc 9fl racket. So I am planning to string it with bg80. I usually play with plastic birdies and I saw post saying that bg80 doesn't work well with them. My racket is string with bg65 @ 23lb. I wanted a little change so I did bg80 @ 24. Will it...

I've been wondering why tension is measured in lb's. And how this is calculated. Lb's are a unit of weight, yet stringing at a higher tension doesn't give me the impression that the strings/racket feel heavier, especially by >10kg. Say I string a racket @ 24lb, this is equal to roughly 11kg...

Hi all good people of the badminton world.:) I recently picked up a couple of Kason F2's but I have only found very limited information about the stringing tension recommendations. :confused: According to Dink-a-lot's review he puts the f1 and f2 together, so does that mean they're the...

So i currently string my rackets with BG 80 at a decently high tension (29x31lbs), my problem is i am breaking my strings so often it is costing me a huge amount of time and money. I train 16-20 hours a week and usually play 2 tournaments a month so i understand it is inevitable that i am going...

Recently, Ive just strung my Arc-10 with bg80 at 27lbs. I usually play using the Arc-10 when it was strung at 25lbs (it was claimed by previous owner, but i suspect lower) with bg65 and using my Cab35 which is strung at 23lbs (with bg80 as well). I have also played occasionally with my At 30...

hi, im new to BC and im wondering if anyone here has had any experience or knows if this website sells genuine yonex/babolat racquets.any help would be fully appreciated :Dhttp://www.badmintonshops.org/index.htm

OK, so with my recent success of stringing at lower tensions using the cross string temporary hold technique, I have a racquet that I would like to attempt at a higher tension. The racquet itself is said to be rated to 30 lbs and I'm attempting to go 27 lbs on this. I'm assuming this would mean...

Hi, I bought a babolat speeder series racket and the string broke. I want to re-string the racket but I do not know the maximum tension for it. Thank you. Pictures: http://www.bbeshop.com/babolat/racket_13647_bbe.jpg http://www.bbeshop.com/babolat/racket_13647_frame_01.jpg...

I recall someone saying before that the conversion chart on the Klipper machine is not exactly accurate. I've recently done some string jobs for other players who are definitely more advanced than I am, and both of them have said that their strings felt a little loose. Not a lot, but a...

HYBRID: I've tried Toalson SN6470 lately, amazing feeling at 25 lbs. Great with feather shuttles. Great control, power, and look. Lasted me about 2 months with 4 hours of play per week. Thinking of getting NBG 98 with BG 80, BG 80 and BG 85. WHY HYBRID? Best compromise for good repulsion...
