November 20, 2009

When pictures [...]

Why Egos and Incorrect Information About String Tensions In Badminton Could Be Doing More Harm Than Good

October 7, 2009

Imagine the scene. A young player is chatting to an experienced player at your club about racquets. Invariably at some point the discussion moves on to the subject of string tension. “My racquets are strung at 30lbs” says the experienced player, “the tighter the string the better – that’s what you want.”
Now this scenario has [...]
