Badminton String-Type Overview

  • Repulsion/Power Strings – Thinner gauges for a lively, fast response and quick shuttle acceleration; best for attacking players.
  • Control/Feel Strings – Textured or stiffer coatings for precise placement and bite on drops and slices.
  • Durability Strings – Slightly thicker gauges built to last under heavy hitting or off-centre contact.

Badminton String Guide

  • Gauge (thickness): ~0.61–0.70 mm. Thinner = more repulsion/feel, less durability. Thicker = more durability, a touch less zip.
  • Repulsion/Power: Very thin strings feel lively and fast off the string bed — great for big smashes and quick counters.
  • Control/Feel: Textured or firmer constructions improve bite for net play, slices and tight drops.
  • Durability: Slightly thicker or tougher jackets reduce notching and breakage if you hit hard or off-centre.

Recommended tensions (guideline):

  • Beginners / casual: 18–22 lbs
  • Intermediates: 22–26 lbs
  • Advanced / competitive: 26–30 lbs (check frame limits)

Tip: A 1–2 lb change is noticeable. If you’re between sizes, start lower for comfort and raise slowly.

Badminton Racket Stringing Service FAQ's

How does the postal racket stringing service work?

To use our postal service, simply place your order online, send your racket securely packaged to our address, and once it’s restrung, we’ll post it back to you. We provide updates at each step to ensure you know when your racket is on its way.

How long does the process take?

Typically, the entire process takes 1-3 working days from when we receive your racket. This includes restringing and return shipping. However, delivery times may vary slightly depending on postal services.

Do you provide the strings, or can I send my own?

We offer a range of top-quality strings for you to choose from, but if you have a specific string you prefer, you’re welcome to send it with your racket, and we’ll string it to your specifications. Simply message us and we can make arrangements for this service. The cost of restringing your racket with provided strings is £18 plus postage.

What string tension should I choose?

String tension depends on your playing style. Lower tensions (20-23 lbs) provide more forgiveness, while higher tensions (24-28 lbs) offer more power potential for experienced players. If you’re unsure, we can advise on the best tension based on your level and preferences.

How should I package my racket for sending?

We recommend wrapping your racket securely with bubble wrap and using a strong box to prevent damage during transit. We will always return your racket packaged as securely as possible for you.

Is return postage included in the service?

There are two shipping options to choose from during the checkout process. The options are for return postage only, or for send and return postage. We’ll ship your racket back to you safely via a reliable postal service, with tracking provided for peace of mind.

What happens if my racket is damaged in transit?

While damage is rare, we advise packaging your racket as securely as possible. If we notice any damage upon receipt, we’ll contact you immediately to discuss next steps before restringing. The default shipping costs include £20 insurance in case of incidences. If you would like to purchase enhanced insurance we can arrange this for an additional fee.

Can I track my racket throughout the process?

Yes, once your racket is restrung and dispatched back to you, we provide a tracking number so you can monitor its journey back to your doorstep. We will keep you informed every step of the way!

What types of strings do you offer for badminton rackets?

We offer a selection of strings, including popular options for durability, control, and power. We focus on best in class Yonex strings to ensure that you're happy with the quality of our service and more important your performance on court.

What if I’m not sure what string or tension I need?
