Length
675 mm.
The size of a children's racket depends on the age of the player. A 540 mm racket is ideal for children aged 4-6, while a 620 mm model is suitable for 7-11 year-olds. However, as soon as a child reaches an intermediate level, it's advisable to switch to an adult racket.
Flexibility
Semi stiff.
Shafts can range from flexible to rigid. A flexible shaft will be more forgiving and comfortable during play, and also help you easily hit into the backcourt. Meanwhile, a stiff shaft offers more propulsion and accuracy, but does require sufficient swing speed.
Balance
Head light.
The balance of a racket corresponds to the distribution of its weight from the base of the handle to the balance point. A head-light racket offers better manoeuvrability and responsiveness, ideal for defensive players! In contrast, a head-heavy racket provides more power, which is popular with offensive players, although it may feel heavier and less easy to handle.
ULTRA-THIN FRAME
The ultra-thin frame is up to 7% thinner than that of conventional rackets, which increases the speed of your shots while keeping the racket rigid and stable.
Composition
HM Graphite.
Steel and aluminium models are suited to recreational play. Graphite/aluminium or all-graphite models are best for novice and regular players. Finally, rackets made from High-Modulus Graphite and other materials like tungsten are designed for intermediate players with an intense playing style.
Grip size
G5 small.
The diameter of the handle of a racket generally varies between 75 and over 90 mm. A thick handle gives a better grip but makes grip changes more difficult, whereas a thinner handle favours dexterity to give the racket more speed.
String pattern
22x21. The string pattern is expressed in the number of vertical strings x the number of horizontal strings. In badminton, you say mains and crosses on a racket. This configuration increases grip and improves spin.
Technology, composition
High Resilience Graphite + Nano Resin
FREE CORE
New racket handle that makes movements smoother and improves the handling experience.
HARD CORED TECHNOLOGY
The multi-layer structure minimises the size of the materials and enhances the feeling of manoeuvrability and performance.
NANO TEC
Stiffer composite fibres to prevent frame warping.
About the Auraspeed series
The Auraspeed speed series is manoeuvrable, making it easy to move quickly and seize the right opportunities. It's ideal for defensive players or doubles players who prefer speed.
76 eyelets stringing instructions: A = top, B = bottom
4 knot stringing instructions. Mains: start from top centre and continue stringing, alternating left and right every 2 mains to B12 (skip B11, A8, A10, A12 and B14) and tie off at B6. Crosses:start the crosses at the bottom from B8 and tie a knot at B6. Continue stringing the bottom crosses to A8 (skip holes A11 and A9) and tie a knot at A5.
FRS (FIBRE REINFORCED SYSTEM)
The frame's advanced fibre reinforced system not only improves the racket's flex, it also provides stable control under high tension.
COMPOUND-SWORD
The three main parts of the frame make for faster, more controlled attacks.
Weight
88 g - 3U (85-89 g).
The weight of a racket, given in grams, typically ranges between 60 and 100 g. These rackets are grouped by weights, indicated by units called "U". Lighter rackets are more manoeuvrable, comfortable and easier on the arm, allowing for faster swinging. Meanwhile, heavier rackets give you more power.
Recommended tension
9-14.5 kg / 20-32 lbs.
Every brand recommends a maximum tension for their rackets to prevent the string or frame from breaking while stringing or hitting. The string tension affects the ball. Low tension offers a more comfortable feel and makes long shots easier. High tension offers better accuracy, more snap and a nicer sound, but it is more sensitive, especially for off-centre hits. Adapt the tension to your needs and playing style.
