I live in colaba and I left all my rackets in my grandparents house in odisha. Which shop or where do I go to get good rackets nearby? Amazon has a lot but I don't wanna risk it, even if I get my hands on simple rackets like GR303 or ZR100 at least I need a shop that can change the grip and gimme new strings. I'm mostly looking for Yonex, Li-Ning, and Young
help plsπ₯Ί

Looking at 4 of the most powerful rackets and picking a winner! Astrox 100ZZ vs Astrox 99 Pro vs Astrox 88D Pro + a mystery OG!

Go to my blog piece linked in the video to have a finer view of the data. Enjoy!
I would like to apologise at the start for this story being so long
So for context I am very good at badminton I've been playing it for bout 1Β½ year and I've even defeated my coach in a 1v1. And now onto the story
Cast: Me: obviously me Gc:my good cousin Bf: my best friend Gf: my girl friend Em: entitled mom Etk: entitled teen kid Esk:entitled small kid Om: old man Sg: security guard
So Iam 17-M and recently my aunt was visiting us my aunt had 2 kids I like them both very much. The bigger one(gc) is 12 and he likes badminton alot and he wanted me to play with him,me being the good cousin I am agreed and I called my bf and gf(both are pretty hardcore player) to come to a nearby field because I also wanted us to get some practice for an upcoming charity match. I picked up my gf with my gc and I them took a nearby free Badminton field and was teaching the gc some tricks and basically going easy in him like missing some shots hitting the badminton cock back slowly etc...while gf was in a nearby shop to get a water bottle becaus I frogot mine at home.

Today we look at 2 of the flagship Yonex Nanoflare badminton rackets are the Nanoflare 700 and Nanoflare 800 LT and this video review and compare these 2 great headlight badminton rackets.
The Nanoflare line for Yonex represents their headlight badminton rackets behind their ultra-popular head heavier Astrox series. These Nanoflare rackets focus on counterattacking ability with lots of ease and speed, which is crucial in today's game.
Never played Tennis, Badminton, etc before and all the local fields for racket sports are closed except for a local gym's squash room. My apartment complex as an entire section of nothing but hard brick walls so I have plenty of time to practise whenever I want and luckily one of my neighbors has been playing squash since she was 6 so I can get free instructions while staying in my residence.
So will Squash skills transition to Badminton and other racket and ball sports? In particular will it help make it much easier to learn Tennis? I hope to learn Tennis and start playing some day but as I said all areas have been closed including fenced places n public areas due to COVID and as a result no Tennis instructor is available in town since all the coaches and sports clubs and gyms don't live here but drove here to teach on weekends.
So will practising with my neighbor help prepare me for some of the barebones basics of tennis, pickleball, and other sports using a racket?
Slightly different video than usual but here's an experiment to test if regular badminton players can tell which are cheap vs expensive rackets?
Can you tell if a racket is cheap or expensive? π€£
I just finished this drama and it's so nice to see Jung Bo-Hoon, the writer of Prison Playbook, come back with another drama. It really captivated me with nostalgia and left me wanting to play badminton again. It wasn't perfect, but it's lovable and nostalgic.
Writing
Racket Boys' writing is excellent in creating realistic badminton scenarios. While my experience in American high school badminton may be different, there were several unexpectedly relatable scenarios like changing players in the match order in order to get an advantage. The detail that really caught me off guard was when one of the coaches mentioned how the rules were different in the past so their matches lasted much longer. My high school's league came up with a point system where you could only score points during your serve so there might be long periods of time during the matches where no points were scored. The main characters also didn't win all the time which made it more believable whenever the coaches/players dealt with strengths/weaknesses. The >!strategy to beat Park Chan in doubles by taking advantage of his weakness was relatable to me because I am literally so bad at singles that I lost the only official singles game I played while being undefeated in doubles and mixed doubles.!<
Something I would criticize is how many of the characters were "national" level. I understand that South Korea is a smaller population than where I'm from, but it felt off to have 4 of the main characters be on the national youth team. In my experience, I only ever saw one national youth player in my state's league who went on to play with Lee Yong Dae (Yong Tae's favorite player). It felt weird how even the national level players were deemed to have unreasonable skill gaps. For example, >!the main cast doubted Han Sol's ability to compete against Nara even though both were on the national team.!<
The bigger thing I would critique is the writers' use of easter eggs and cameos. This is the same writer from Prison Playbook, but it felt like the Prison Playbook writing was being "redeemed" through the easter egg/cameos. For example, we have Jung Min Sung once again playing a character>! being screwed over by a corporate past.!< However, unlike in Prison Playbook, his character >!now has a happy ending.!< We then have >!Lee Kyu Hyung!< making a cameo that directly references being imprisoned

Bascally, can you easily do it at home with hand or is it better to get it done by a machine from a stringer ?
And if yes , what would be the best tutorial to follow or some tips and tricks etc to do it well and effeciently yourself ?
I've been to the Sweet Spot on Whyte, is that the best place in town to get high tier badminton rackets?
