Hey Tobias, just want to say I very much appreciate all the content you have created as well as the time and effort you put in to go to these events, record, edit and post online for people like us at home. A big thank you to you and your team for making all kinds of amazing content, such as profiling the players, their matches, and stringers. We definitely need more of this type of content to popularize badminton and get them to be on tennis level superstardom, while also showcasing how much fun the sport can be. So keep up the great work on this and your own channel!
Would love to see another stringing tips and insights video. I've enjoyed using the starting knot on the crosses shown in last year's video. Always enjoy learning about how stringing techniques are evolving
I read someone's comment on the ckyew channel and head here this is insightful for me. from me as a hobby and not a competitive player i just strung my racket at 24 (head heavy) and 27 (speed) why the speed is higher than the hh racket because the higher tension gives more control and is easy to do netting (imho). I mostly agree with the yonex string team answer.
So should i restring my racket after every 2 months since i play 6 days a week and training. I been training for 10 months consistently, should i use bg 66 force or bg 80 power?
I am an amateur/hobby player. I have my racket strung with string gauge 0.66mm or 0.68mm at 25lbs tension which is recommended tension for APACS rackets. I don’t see any need to string at higher tension.
I would say the racquet should be first and the string goes with it. Shoes and then grip. Poor racquet made of a bad material unbalanced and doesn't hold a decent tension. Good pair of shoes will avoid injuries.
Thank you! I wonder why some successfully players as Viktor, Marin… are entitled to give these rackets without information ? It maybe culture or their character ?
Intermediate player and I use aerosonic or Kizuna z58 @ 25lbs 1 piece pattern. Well inside the recommended warrenty tension and keeps my racket under less stress so I only have to replace grommets. If I didn't care about racket longevity I'll do 28-29 lbs BG-80
@@calvinchin8795 I use NF700 since the first 2 colours releases, it is not NF700 red that we have seen on the market. I am not familiar with other rackets in the nanoflare series either. But it could be a sign for new racket colours or the prototype of it or it could be just pro players' special design racket
Before you increase the tension, you should equipped yourself with strong arm. If not, you will feel your arm vibrate. That's why i dont like extra stiff racket too. It's too demanding and harder to use. My weapon of choice is victor auraspeed and victor thruster f. I put bg66um & vbs66n for 28 lbs.
Factory string tension .. around 9.5kg but you have zero control over your low serve and drop shots so it is not recommended. 10kg or 10.5kg should be ok if you use BG80.
i borrowed my friend's racquet for a bit, it has 12kg tension, and i gotta say it felt so good, the netplay was much more precise. Then i came back to my 10kg racquet and realized everything were so bouncy 🤣. So finally i went for a new 11kg string and it worked till now. I have some relatives who play really well at city level, and they have around 10.5-11.5kg. If you just begin to play badminton under a year, i think you can try 9.5kg for the feel of sweetspot, then after a few months you get it back to 10kg. And the most important is to choose the racquet that's not too heavy, 4u-5u is fine, because you will find it really hard to clear or do big swing, your wrist can get hurt if you try to hard.
I do some stringing for teenagers at my local club. I do not want go under [9,5kg]. But the clubtrainer keeps advising between 8 and 9kg. I think a string is not made to deliver/perform at that low tension.
@@Krisztofski no string perform "as intended" under 11kg but with tensions arround 10kg you at least gonna make things easy for the backcourt strokes. Children should better pay attention to racket stifness and weight , that's where the risk of injuries emerge. 9kg is going to make netplay impossible to learn.
String matters more than a racket? lmao, I don't think so. Sure you cant play without strings, but a 5/10 stringing on a good racket vs a 7/10 stringing on a bad racket, ill take the good racket any day. The bad rackets are heavy, unbalanced, too much or too little flex. You cant possibly be serious.... But I'm no "professional" just a badminton coach for 8 years passing by.
What i understand from what he means is that, Good Rackets are important (not necessarily Expensive Rackets)... since there are a lot of bad quality rackets in the market.... He also mentioned and suggested Made in China, Taiwan...those are quite cheaper and still good... just my opinion since i love Badminton.
I wish all tournaments have this kind of content. Very educational. Thank you German Open media team and Tobias.

very good content
10:17 couldn't agree more

Very informative! So for an amateur, which string would you recommend ? Tx
Most important things The man and the string not the racket 👏👏👏
I couldn’t handle even 28 lbs, string is more important than the bat, was informative.
I am an amateur/hobby player.
I have my racket strung with string gauge 0.66mm or 0.68mm at 25lbs tension which is recommended tension for APACS rackets.
I don’t see any need to string at higher tension.
The highest tnsion for casual player is 28lbs more than that is not recommended
26 will be the best for hobby players
Thanks for the video, Can you please let me know Yonex Exbolt 63 is good for playing with feature shuttles
Where i can get Stringing Lienscen in Germany ??
In accordance with amount of impact on your quality of game:
1. Shoes
2. Grip(thickness/comfort)
3. Strings
4. Racquet
You got it wrong order mate,
1. Strings
2. Grip
3. Shoes
4. Racquet
I would say the racquet should be first and the string goes with it. Shoes and then grip.
Poor racquet made of a bad material unbalanced and doesn't hold a decent tension. Good pair of shoes will avoid injuries.

Sheeesh, that black nanoflare on the table is the prototype for the new one about to be released. I wonder who’s using it.
Amazing content ! Define hobby player ? I found interesting that you say two restrings a year :)
24 lbs? For me, i tried 25lbs but i cant make powerfull smash with racquet strung at under 25 lbs. 27 is good for me and im just amature player
Damn according to that calculation, I should be around 6 restring a year, that’s pretty spot
That all black nanoflare at 8:43, is that new?
i believe thats the NF700 red color

few players have been using what looks like a new nanoflare

What is the lower limit of tension for amateur?
Factory string tension .. around 9.5kg but you have zero control over your low serve and drop shots so it is not recommended.
10kg or 10.5kg should be ok if you use BG80.

I think both matter. A shit stringjob ruins a good racket and vica versa.

wow... both reserved last push.... 10 points at the 3rd match
