Maintenance

- Storage: Store the racquet in its provided cover when not in use to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Avoid storing in extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold environments).
- Grip Care: Replace the grip or overgrip regularly as it wears out or becomes slippery from sweat. A fresh grip ensures secure handling and prevents slippage.
- String Care: Inspect strings for fraying or damage before each use. If strings break or lose tension significantly, have the racquet restrung by a professional. Avoid excessive tension beyond the recommended range (19-24 lbs) to prevent frame damage.
- Cleaning: Wipe the frame and strings with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Impact Avoidance: Avoid hitting the racquet against hard surfaces or other racquets, as this can cause frame damage or breakage.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your badminton racquet:
- Loose or Broken Strings:
Cause: Normal wear and tear, impact, or incorrect string tension.
Solution: Have the racquet restrung by a qualified professional. Ensure the new string tension is within the recommended range of 19-24 lbs.
- Slippery Grip:
Cause: Sweat accumulation, worn-out grip material.
Solution: Replace the overgrip or base grip. Consider using a towel grip or applying grip powder for better absorption.
- Reduced Power or Control:
Cause: Loss of string tension, damaged strings, or incorrect technique.
Solution: Check string tension and condition. If strings are loose or damaged, restring the racquet. Review your playing technique.
- Racquet Head Detaches from Handle:
Cause: Severe impact, manufacturing defect, or structural fatigue.
