00:00What is string tension and why is it important?

00:03Is it really just low tension for beginners and high tension for pros and advanced?

00:07Let's talk about that in our new series, All Things Badminton Part 1.

00:11String tension is how tight the string is installed in the head frame of your racket.

00:17Usually, other brand new rackets don't have a string installed here.

00:21But there are also other rackets that have a string installed.

00:23You can save money there.

00:24However, you will not be able to choose what tension to put.

00:27There are two measurements that are used for string tension.

00:29Here in the Philippines, we use pounds.

00:32But mostly, in other countries, they use kilos.

00:35Mostly, you will see rackets here that are 18 to 30 pounds.

00:39Those are the common and average players.

00:41So now, let's talk about whether high tension is better than low tension.

00:45Let's give advantages and disadvantages to these two.

00:49First of all, the high tension string gives you more control when you slice,

00:54when you drop, and when you want to control the player.

00:57The second advantage is that it's super crispy when you hit it.

01:01When you try to hit a racket that has 30 tension,

01:04the sound is really loud.

01:06Every hit really gives you a lot of support,

01:08even if it's a drive, even if it's a smash, even if it's a kill.

01:11It's really good for the ears.

01:13But the downside of high tension is that it breaks easily

01:17because the string is tighter and the sweet spot is smaller.

01:21The sweet spot of the racket is usually in the middle.

01:23The more tight your string is,

01:26for example, 28, 29, 30, it shrinks.

01:29Sometimes, you feel like the sound of your stick is dead

01:33because it hits the side.

01:34You need to hit it precisely,

01:36you need to have a good swing,

01:38you need to have a good timing.

01:39If not, you won't be able to control the ball properly.

01:42So in low tension, guys, it's the opposite of everything in high tension.

01:46The lower the tension of your racket,

01:49the more less control.

01:50Because the shuttlecock has more time to stay in your string bed.

01:54So if you mix this up,

01:55it really has extra power to produce

01:58because the tension is lower.

02:00Another advantage of this, especially if you're saving,

02:03the low tension is really strong.

02:05Even if it's ears or muds, it won't break easily.

02:09It's even balanced for you, guys.

02:11And last but not the least,

02:12another super advantage of this low tension

02:15is that it has a super big sweet spot.

02:17It's almost the whole frame.

02:19It's forgiving, especially if you don't perfect the timing and swing of the racket.

02:22So what is the string tension really for you?

02:25The best answer to that is, it depends.

02:27If you have a perfect timing in mixing and swinging your racket,

02:30if you're prone to injury because the tension is higher,

02:33the stress is higher here on the elbow, shoulder, and wrist.

02:37If you just want to play it chill,

02:38your clear and smash is stronger.

02:40If you're a beginner, what I recommend is 24 and below

02:43because it has a bigger sweet spot

02:45and there's a big chance that you'll miss hit when hitting the racket.

02:48If you're an intermediate or club player,

02:50and you can drop, smash, and clear,

02:53your control is fine.

02:54It's perfect for you if it's 24 to 28.

02:56And if you're pro or advanced, it's perfect for you if it's 28 to 34.

02:59The number of string tension I gave

03:01is only recommended by the coach.

03:03It still depends on your preference and the string you're using.

03:06Look at my players on the racket wall.

03:08The tension of my two rackets is 30.

03:12When I didn't know how to do badminton, I thought it was strong.

03:14The tension is 28

03:16because that's the only thing that can bounce.

03:18Tension number 26

03:20recommended by Lodi Ransel.

03:23The tension of my racket is 28

03:25so it's not too high and not too low.

03:2828 has a pre-stretch of 10%.

03:3126 to 30 for me is for intermediate to high intermediate.

03:35And that's it, guys.

03:36Thank you so much for joining me in this first part of this series.
