In order to adjust the balance of the racket to head Light side (More Control) ,player can do following changes:

1. Use more than two grips on handle

Stiffness of Shaft:

Two types of shaft properties are commonly known:

(1)Flexible Shaft      (2) Stiff Shaft

 

• Flexible Shaft:

 

Flexible shaft are those which flexibly when try bend it. Ref Image. Different
manufacturing companies used different material to make shaft flexible. Like
Yonex used HM graphite to make shaft flexible. While, Li Ning Used Graphite
material to make shaft flexible. Flexible Shaft provides following performance
advantages to player.

(A)  Quick Repulsion :

Flexible shaft have tendency to bend opposite to shuttle hit direction. During bending
its store the impact energy developed by shuttle. Flexible shaft does not hold
the shuttle for longer time thus doesn’t provide extended strength to shuttle.
Quick repulsion is suitable for drive shots, quick return to opponents.

  (B)  Moderate level of Shuttle placement:

As shaft of the racket flexible nature of shaft, it creates vibration on frame.
Due to vibration, placement of shuttle may get deviated from target. Modern
racket comes with additional innovation to overcome this problem. For E.g.,
Yonex used T Anchor technology to minimize the vibration in flexible shaft.
These new innovation helps in better racket characteristics.

(C)  Suitable for Defensive Play or All Round type of Game:

Flexible shaft with modern technologies will be suitable for those players who want all
round type of game play. Player with defensive playing style will definitely
like to play with flexible shaft.

(2) Stiff Shaft:

Stiff shaft gives very less or stiff  bending when shuttle hits the string bed.
Due to less or stiff bending, player get more power on shots with better
directional control.

1.  Optimize Repulsion:

As shuttle repelled from racket quickly so racket offers optimized repulsion to
badminton players. With optimized repulsion, player can put more power to shots
with more stability and direction control.

1.     Accurate Shuttle Placement:

With stiff shaft player gets stable head which results into less frame vibrations.
Due to less vibration and stable head, player can effectively place the shuttle
into opponent’s court.

1.     Suitable for Attacking type of game Play:

Stiff shaft racket are suitable for attacking game style as it’s generate explosive
power. With stiff shaft player gets lighting fast racket speed which helps in
placing quick return and fast drive shots.

Shape of the Racket head:

Head Shape of Badminton Racket_5

Basically two racket head shapes are most common:

1. Isometric   (2) Oval Head Shape

(1) Isometric Shape:

Isometric or square head shape is very popular nowadays because of following points:

1.  Isometric head shape gives enlarged sweet spot area by which
   player gets more opportunities to hit off center shots.
2. Isometric head shape offers best aerodynamic to racket frame.

(2) Oval Shape:

Oval shape is conventional racket head shape in which head shape look like oval or
round.

1.    Oval shape head gives low sweet spot area which limited the opportunities
   to hits off center shots with more power.
2.     Oval head shape gives fast racket swing speed.

Weight of the Badminton racket:

Weight of the racket is very important as it impact the player performance up to a
great extent. Heavy racket considered good for powerful game but heavy racket
gives sluggish swing speed whereas lightweight racket gives fast racket speed
and quick repulsion. Yonex used U nomenclature to define the racket weight and
it is like 2U (90 to 94 gms),3U (85 to 89 gms), 4U (80 to 84 gms) and 5U (70 to
75 gms). 5U rackets are considered as feather light rackets, Yonex Arcsaber FB
is considered as feather light racket. Most common weight category is 3U. Li
Ning Used W1,W2, W3 ,W4 weight nomenclature . W1 represent 75 to 80 gms , W2
represent 80 to 85 gms ,W3 represent 85 to 90 gms. Li Ning G Force Lite 3500
and 3600 are considered as feather light rackets.

Grip and Grip Size of Badminton Racket:

Grips of Badminton Racket_7

Grip and Grip sizes are important as player hold the racket from grip and handle.
Following are the table of Grips sizes and its dimension:

1.      G1 = 3 in
2.      G2 = 3 1/4 in
3.      G3 = 3 1/2 in
4.      G4 = 3 3/4 in
5.      G5 = 4 in

String of Badminton Racket:

Most of the professional rackets comes without string because different string can
change the paying characteristics of the racket. Different String can change
the behavior of racket with following properties:

1.      Yonex BG 80 is a string which gives more power and better
   repulsion and suitable for attacking players.

4. Z force II is more aerodynamic in nature as compared to previous model.

RACKET TECHNOLOGY_2

 

Racket Review at 3rd Line:

Yonex VT Z Force 2 is no boube a powerful racket when we tired it in court. WIth latest material and state of art manufacturing technology , Yonex developed new frame designed which gives extremely powerful shots from 3rd line. We could clear the shots from 3rd line with minimum effort.

Yonex used compact frame and you can feel the different on court. Earlier version (Z force ) was equipped with larger sweet spot as compare the ZF2. SO we faced some power losses for mis hits. However ZF2 aerodynamics is better than ZF. So we observed massive swing speed and enjoyed it from 3rd line.

MAXIMUM ENERGY TRANSFER_3

Racket Review at Midline:

Due to its improved aerodynamics , we observed following benefits:

1. Racket maneuverability is improved which helps in placing better drive and cut shots from mid court.
2. Overall Head size is less which gives better swing speed so we place fast cross corner shots.
3. Thin shaft provided better repulsion . Extra power is observed in drives.

EXTRA SLIM SHAFT_4

Hitting Time:

Yonex Voltric Z Force 2 is equipped with powerful & compact  frame , slim shaft , improved racket balance. All together gives superb racket for powerfull hitting.When we tested the racket on court than found the extreme power (As expected from Yonex ZF Family rackets). Shots clear is effective and accurate. Out of 20 shots , all shots bang on target.

AERODYNAMIC FRAME CONSTRUCTION_5

Defense:

Its compact frame , thinner shaft provide better racket swing. We observed better maneuverability which helped in quick returns.

Summary:

With any doubt , Yonex VT ZF2 is most powerful racket in complete Yonex VOltric series. Its frame , racket balance , Shaft stiffness and overall racket dynamic will definitely liked by attacking game type. Again , imrpoved aerodynamic of frame will help in defense also.
