Came across the following post on the internet @ http://badminton-coach.co.uk/272/why-egos-and-incorrect-information-about-string-tensions-in-badminton-could-be-doing-more-harm-than-good/ and was referred to http://www.victorsport.com/coach_detail_7439.html?cid=475&utm_source=official+Social+Media&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=String+Poundage#.U9RsLFy0wOc.facebook by a friend.
Any one with feedback?
A coach once used the following analogy to explain why it was harder to hit a shuttle to the same distance vs using lower tension - imagine the stringbed like a trampoline, the tighter the trampoline, the harder you need to push it to reach the same height as per before.
The article mentions a smaller sweet spot with a higher tension, maybe that explains why we did not hear the "proper boom" much nowdays when a player hits the shuttle using a racquet strung at higher tensions?
