Determining which racket is the best one for you can be difficult because you have a lot of rackets from which to select. Carlton badminton rackets have been produced for decades. Carlton manufactures affordable rackets designed for beginners and recreational players as well as the high end performance rackets meant for top level athletes. Their lineup of rackets includes:

Carlton Airblade

Carlton Powerblade

Carlton Comp Ti

The Aerogear by Carlton

The price ranges for these rackets appear to be from $15.00 to $140.00. Since it is a big company that produces a lot of badminton rackets, Carlton is always developing new rackets that are better than their last models.

The pricing is definitely one of the benefits of Carlton badminton rackets as it makes it possible for someone just entering the sport to obtain a racket from a top rated manufacturer. When coming up with a new design for a racket, Carlton focuses on quickness, which is essential for success with the new scoring system in competitive matches. They also have what they call the Carlton Badminton System which can improve a player’s game based on a few criteria during manufacture. Even though the rackets are popular because of their superior quality, the nets that come with the cheaper rackets meant just for fun are not highly rated.

If you are looking for a top quality racket at a reasonable price, you should definitely look at Carlton badminton rackets as even Olympians use them. The Carlton website provides a lot of detailed information about each of their rackets. You can find out the frame weight, string tension and sixteen other parameters about each frame. Not only do you get manufacturing specifications but you also get performance data in the form of ratings for power, control and maneuverability for both hard hitters and long swing. For those of you who are just beginning, you most likely will not need all of these specs to get a racket that’s right for you.

Wouldn’t You Like to Have a Badminton Set?

You are visiting your friends while watching the kids entertain themselves in the back yard. They are laughing and running around wildly while trying to play badminton. Your kids have never played before but they seem to be having a great time. You can tell they are getting a lot of exercise. At their age that is a great thing. The more they wear themselves out the better. You hadn’t thought about it in years, but now you remember that you had a badminton set when you were young and you really enjoyed the game. Maybe you should start again. So you check with your friend to find out where they had gotten their badminton set.

Your friend actually did a bit of research before they bought their badminton set. You’re a little surprised as he explains about all the differences between the various badminton sets. The set your friend has includes four racquets, a net and poles to put up the net. There are also guy lines that hold the poles in place. The net doesn’t look as high as the ones you remember from your childhood. You ask your friend about it. It turns out some of the sets on the market come with a narrower net instead of the regulation net. The reduced height looks weird to you. Your friend also says that they were not happy when they put the net up and found out that it was lower than expected. Somehow that fact hadn’t been included in the product description and it was something they hadn’t thought to ask about when they ordered the set.

They were pleased with the rest of the set though. They had gotten metal poles and they were holding up very well. You can also find sets with pvc poles to support the net. People usually aren’t too fussy about a badminton set that they’re getting for family fun and casual play. However, there are differences in the types of racquets offered with badminton sets. Read the fine print before you buy one so you know what you are getting.
