Training Rackets for Badminton - A Weighty Conversation

What is the ideal weight for a training racket for badminton?  Are training rackets useful? Yes, training rackets can be useful in badminton, especially for beginners who are just starting to learn the sport. Training rackets are designed to be lighter and more flexible than regular rackets, making it easier for beginners to learn the  proper technique and develop their swing without putting too much strain on their arms.

However, it's important to note that training rackets should not be used as a substitute for regular rackets once a player has developed their skills. Using a training racket for too long can create bad habits and muscle memory that may not transfer well to a regular racket, and can hinder a player's progress.

So, while it's fine to use training rackets as a beginner, it's important to switch to a regular racket once you have developed your skills and are ready to play more competitively.

Conversely, for advanced players we recommend a racket which is heavier than the one they use for match play.  It helps players increase their swing speed which helps them offensively and defensively during match play.

Overall, training rackets are certainly useful to hone your skills wether you are a beginner or an advanced player.
