Are fake Badminton rackets good? Difference between fake and original rackets.
As per our experience fake/copy/counterfeit badminton rackets have same feel for all fake models and brands because they are made with same dies and material, when you test a copy badminton racket you feel that they are without soul. They can’t withstand straining pressure more than 22-24lb, if you try to string them above 24 there are chances that racket frame reshape.
Rackets are required new stringing after some time, copy rackets normally deshape after 2nd or 3rd stringing. Counterfeit rackets don’t have much life they normally damage after some times. In comparison branded racket can withstand more stringing tension, don’t deshape easily after multiple stringing and have less chance of damage during play. So if we calculate lifetime value, you not only enjoy game but branded rackets cost cheaper then fake badminton rackets.
