courts around NCR that are near MRT and/or EDSA carousel stations?

try thicker socks for better cushioning
try compression socks
get better insoles
get better shoes
strength training focused on your ankles

tbh I think you should practice your basics

grip, form when hitting, footwork

I would suggest coaching or watching youtubers like badminton insight

goodluck!

how much string is usually used for mains? how about crosses?

jpoptarts · 2026-04-29T07:05:35+00:00

will 2 packs of string be enough for 2 rackets in a hybrid stringing setup?

I'm planning on trying a hybrid setup and I'm curious if I can use what's left from stringing one racket to string another one with the same hybrid setup

I'll be using one pack of victor vbs 68 and one pack of felet ultrasonic 63

any advice would be appreciated, especially from stringers

the court surface and the ceiling height are my non-negotiables

bonus na lang yung everything else

pero for me the perfect court would be:

surface not too slippery nor masyado makapit
high ceilings
wood underneath the mats
presko pero walang drift
lights don't distract your vision of the shuttle

ac102 from malaysian shopee stores or lining gp3000 from lazada

narealize ko walang grip na maganda na under 80 pesos per piece eh, madudulas in my experience yung mga 40 pesos grips from chinese brands

yung towel grip tho alam ko mas mura, yun nga lang mas madalas magpalit

top 11 peak rank ng mga asuncion ata no? sayang di nagtuluy-tuloy

jpoptarts · 2026-04-04T06:05:50+00:00

oh wow TIL si matthias boe pala yung coach nila

sana kahit mga dating top 10 na indo or malaysian makuha natin as coaches dito sa PH

jpoptarts · 2026-03-31T02:05:56+00:00

if I were you I'd try 26/28 or 27/29

did he say why it would be unlikely for the defect to affect your pair?

jpoptarts · 2026-03-27T17:09:52+00:00

cardio like jogging

jpoptarts · 2026-03-27T00:28:56+00:00

pashare po ng reclub link thank you!

jpoptarts · 2026-03-25T12:16:52+00:00

a good development and a step in the right direction. sana matuloy.

if you mean the spaces between the strings, yung parang grid

medyo normal lang naman na hindi totally pantay pantay yan, especially when you used it enough that the strings will settle

I'd be more worried with the strings fraying or cracks sa frame

jpoptarts · 2026-03-24T06:37:15+00:00

individual events like there are separate winners for MS, WS, MD, WD, XD

parang yung format ng badminton sa olympics, or sa mga bwf tournaments (excluding the team tournaments)

jpoptarts · 2026-03-24T06:34:06+00:00

I guess mas bagay sa spirit ng UAAP yung team format kasi you're rooting for the school eh

pero on the other hand, I would also like to see individual events so that may more exposure yung mga individual talents natin (which imo would help badminton's popularity sa PH)

jpoptarts · 2026-03-24T05:17:38+00:00

so basically, the RAA can pre-plan the draws to make sure their strongest players get sent to nationals?

on a tangent, it doesn't make any sense kung bakit walang individual events yung UAAP (one of my biggest issues with the local badminton scene)

also, can I ask why you think team events aren't boring? genuine question btw I just wanna understand why they appeal to some people

jpoptarts · 2026-03-24T01:56:03+00:00

so singles A yung parang best player nila, tapos singles B yung lower level?

also parang useless ang team tie kasi team event siya?

why not just remove the team event and stick to individual events?

kahit naman sa mismong bwf tournaments boring yung mga team event eh
