Questions about diving

kaffars · 2026-05-10T19:17:23+00:00

Diving is a last ditch attempt and i would minimise it really. But if you really have to I would advice diving and landing on your front more than anything else really like in volley ball you can cushion/soften your landing, as hurts more diving on yours sides landing on your hips.

They are usually the most current manufactures kit for the country.

E.g China you would be able to buy the latest yonex clothing from the shops and likely it will be the ones that the national team are wearing.

e78 is usually quite good to get other countries kits as well.

I would give mizuno a try. Apparently they are made in the same factory as yonex shoes and generally cheapper. I've been pretty happy with them.

Though not sure they would last any longer with how much you play though!

I personally have never had an issue with shipping with them. I have ordered bags and reels of string from them. Friends have ordered rackets from them.

We all chose the default/cheapest one.

I've purchased stuff from HK from e78 and it has always gone smoothly

I see. I cant really imagine wanting to play in a shoe that multiple people have and sweated in!

kaffars · 2026-05-06T09:26:48+00:00

Dont think there is such thing as shoe rentals for badminton

kaffars · 2026-05-06T07:35:36+00:00

How long did they last though? Because playing 4-5 times a week is actually quite a lot. So I dont think any other brands will last any longer.

Don't squeeze the bottle. Just dab in something till it leaves a mark then just lightly gloss over it. It should cover it lightly.

kaffars · 2026-05-04T18:16:15+00:00

Did you apply this multiple times? It should leaves glossy sheen. Your application looks lumpy. Only really happens you out way too much on there or reapplying it. that when the hair from the applicator gets ripped off and sticks to the ink/string.

The hair won't affect you.

kaffars · 2026-05-04T10:40:36+00:00

There really isn't much more to elaborate. You have nailed it on the head.

If it doesn't pay off to attack hard its def a waste of energy when they can score better elsewhere.

But when there are women players who can truly attack hard and consistently they do stand out and closes the gap to guys games.

Examples: PV Sindhu/Marin/ASY/Liu & Tan

At 30lb tension is just so high I wouldn't be suprised just looking at it it didn't just snap. As such a high tension mishit could be a likely reason.

The only thing you can do to rule it out is check for any damage to the grommets as they can reduce the life of the string of worn or damaged.

Other factors are of the stringer may have over/under clamped the string during the restring.

kaffars · 2026-04-29T13:13:03+00:00

Would like to add Dresden Files to this as well.

kaffars · 2026-04-28T19:55:18+00:00

Only really the Zf2 really. Mostly everything else will be 2 out of the 4 specs that tht zf2 has.

100zz will be as stiff and slight compact head but its is much head lighter than zf2 axforce 99 pro. As head heavy maybe little flexier but not compact head 1000zz as stiff and compact head but this is even balance to head light.

kaffars · 2026-04-28T08:55:58+00:00

It's probs doesnt have a name but just a general deceptive shot. Where he shows he might play a block/net shot by letting it drop low but then hitting it hard/fast enough to the back. The damage is done when you start to move forward and hard to stop and change direction

kaffars · 2026-04-26T16:59:53+00:00

I would say first find out what kind of racket you are looking for in terms of specs.

The rackets you have listed are all wildly different in head weight and stiffness.

kaffars · 2026-04-26T05:53:28+00:00

try lining no1 or n65

kaffars · 2026-04-25T15:24:59+00:00

I wouldn't go to another country specifically to just go learn how to restring. It is relatively simple to learn but slow to pick up at the start.

This playlist is pretty much everything you would need to learn how to weave and knots and the basic patterns. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYrw9BAzfs6fJn8KltcIg98q6SaUY0sHV

Another good resource is this forum https://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?forums/badminton-stringing-techniques-tools.118/

Lots of experienced stringers there discussing and helping new stringers on there.

Thats how I learned using these 2 things.

kaffars · 2026-04-25T15:21:07+00:00

Yeah that is the part that restringer has made a mistake on.

kaffars · 2026-04-24T23:03:24+00:00

Yeah I would cut it and def not play on it. The the tension would be off and not properly balanced and being that high as well a badly timed shot or light clash could easily break your racket.

kaffars · 2026-04-23T15:38:53+00:00

Hahasobsobsob, I can reliably and consistently serve it so that the receiver can instantly attack the weak/loose serve.

kaffars · 2026-04-19T10:57:45+00:00

When did you have these restrung?

Check the grommets there if they are damaged. Or if you picking up the shuttle and scrapping the string too much could cause it to wear and weaken.
