How often should you restring a badminton racket?
My Store Admin
Stringing is crucial to your game. Even if no string breaks, tension will decrease over time – and that will cost you control and power.
Rule of thumb:
Restring as often as you play per week.
Example: If you play twice a week, your racket should be restrung about every 6 months.
When is it time for new strings?
- Your shot feels weak or inaccurate
- The sound on ball contact is muffled
- The strings seem loose or slip
Recommendation according to playing level:
| Game type | rhythm |
| Casual gamers | Only in case of crack or once a year |
| Recreational players (1-2x/week) | Every 4-6 months |
| Ambitious player | Every 3 months |
| tournament players | Every 1-2 months |
Further tips:
- Pay attention to your playing style: the more aggressively you play, the faster the strings wear out.
- String type and tension influence durability and playing feel.
- Expert advice helps you find the right combination for your game.
Conclusion:
Even if the string isn't broken, regular restringing is worthwhile – for more control, precision and enjoyment of the game.
