Badminton Strings Coming Soon
Badminton strings play a critical role in performance affecting power, control, durability, and feel. Unlike tennis strings, badminton strings are much thinner (typically 0.62mm 0.70mm) and strung at significantly higher tensions (up to 30 lbs or more for advanced players). Choosing the right string and tension for your playing style can dramatically improve your game.
Sturdy Racquets will be stocking badminton strings from leading brands including Yonex and Victor soon. Our current range of tennis strings is available now with fast Australia-wide delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What gauge are badminton strings compared to tennis strings?
Badminton strings are much thinner than tennis strings typically 0.62mm to 0.70mm in diameter, compared to tennis strings which range from 1.15mm to 1.35mm. The thinner gauge allows the high string tensions (up to 30+ lbs) required for badminton shuttle control.
What tension should I string my badminton racquet at?
Beginners and recreational players typically string at 18 22 lbs for a comfortable, forgiving response. Intermediate players string at 22 27 lbs for better control. Advanced competitive players string at 27 30+ lbs for maximum precision and shuttle control, though higher tension increases the risk of frame damage.
How often should badminton strings be replaced?
Badminton strings break more frequently than tennis strings due to the high tensions used and the shuttle's hard cork base. Competitive players may break strings every few sessions. Recreational players should restring whenever strings feel loose or dead typically every 3 6 months with regular play.
