Shaft stiffness / flexibility explained
Since I know a lot about golf and equipment, the same analogy would be
made about badminton rackets. And as there seems to be conflicting notions
about shaft flexibility ( http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...ad.php?t=39773 ), I thought it would be interesting in explaining my view on shaft flexibility.
Generally speaking, choosing a racket with the correct shaft flexibility
depends on how you swing your racket.
We start from the principle that when a shaft is bent and then released,
the stiffer the shaft, the faster it unbends (or straightens or unload...)
When you swing the racket (let's say an overhead clear movement), the
racket goes back, and then unleashes forward. At that transitional moment,
the shaft bends. How fast you bend the shaft and how you do your forward
stroke will determine what shaft you would need.
If a player has a short fast explosive backswing and hit, he'd need a
stiffer shaft as it will unload faster into the hitting area.
If that player used a more flexible racket, the shaft will not have time
to unbend, so that at impact, the shaft would still be bent backward (ie.
instead of doing a smash, he'd be doing a clear...).
On the opposite spectrum, someone with a more smooth slower accelerating
stroke would need a more flexible shaft, so that it will unload fully at
impact.
If that same player used a more stiffer shaft, the shaft wouldn't have
bended as much when the racket went to the back, and also, it woud have
straightened prematurely before hitting the shuttle. Therefore he would have
lost the benefit of the power generated by a stiffer racket.
In conclusion, the more explosive swing player will benefit more of a
stiffer shaft in terms of control and power. The more slower swing player
will benefit more from a flexible shaft. | s**********l

当然步伐腕力上去以后以反手可以打回对方底线为基准，然后在此基础上选好控球的，

实在不成手上胶带少缠两圈效果都特明显，杀球重很多。

发帖数: 1354 | 3 Probably depending on person. I was researching on stiffness because I had a
lot of problem getting used to AT900T when I previously used AT500. Both
are similarly head heavy, but I could not get much power out of AT900T.
Still having problems now.
Also, I need to have a thick handle. If the grip is too thin, the racket
turns too much when i hit any overhead.
