We define child players as ages 8 and under. At this age, it is extremely important to support their development by giving them a racquet that is proportional to their height. Under no circumstances should a child be playing with an adult-length racquet. In fact, unless they are exceptionally tall for their age, most children under 8 should not even play with youth racquets.

There are minor but important differences between children’s racquets and youth racquets. Most children’s racquets, for example, are shorter than youth racquets. However, the heads of children’s racquets are not smaller. In fact, they are proportionally larger, which makes it easier for children to make contact with the shuttle.

The best way to determine which racquet is right for your child is to bring them into the store for consultation with one of our experts. We can help you pick out a badminton racquet that will bring out the best in you child.

Teenage beginners are not the same as adult beginners. Therefore they need racquets that are different from adult beginners. For example, younger teens do have adult strength yet. This means that they need more flexible shafts than adults or older teens.

While teens often believe that they need the same high-end racquet as their favourite professional badminton player, this is rarely the case. Professional racquets are generally not suitable for teens and will usually harm their game, not help it.

Below is a sample of racquets that our experts have determined to be suitable for most teenage beginners. For more information, please come into the store and consult with one of our experts.
