Badminton set for beginners – defense

Compiled by athletes for athletes – your sure start for controlled, fast play.

The defense set is ideal for players who value quick reactions, precise shots and a controlled defensive game.
Assembled and tested by athletes, this set provides the perfect foundation for anyone who wants to score points with technique, lightness and precision.

Included in the set

• Yonex Nanoflare Ability Black/Red – ultra-lightweight racket (78 g) with a head-light balance for maximum maneuverability and control.
  The Sonic Flare System ensures fast, precise shots – perfect for defensively oriented players with strong reactions and good vision.

  Why a lightweight racket is ideal for defense:
  With lighter-headed rackets, the center of gravity is closer to the handle , making them significantly grippier and more maneuverable .
  This makes you faster in the flat game , allows you to better control drives and defensive shots, and enables you to react lightning-fast to opponent attacks.
  The disadvantage: slightly less power in the smash , as less weight in the head area provides momentum – but for defensive players the advantages outweigh the disadvantages: more control, responsiveness and precision.

• Oliver Apex Hybrid / 77 balls (12 pieces) – durable hybrid balls made of natural feathers and plastic.
  A cost-effective alternative to pure natural feather shuttlecocks – we guarantee an excellent playing feel and have tested them ourselves.

• Yonex Super Grap 3-pack (Red) – ultra-thin, non-slip overgrip for precise feel and optimal grip.
  Why red? It perfectly matches the racket design and offers good visibility if a change is needed.
  A thin grip tape makes particular sense at the beginning , as you can feel the edges of the racket better – this makes it easier to hold the racket correctly and to learn the grip technique properly.

• Yonex Pro racket bag (red) – practical double bag with two large main compartments for rackets, clothing and accessories.
  Additionally, it features a small extra compartment for a wallet or keys, as well as a separate shoe compartment for clean separation of equipment and sports shoes.
  Carrying straps allow for comfortable shouldering – ideal for training and tournaments.
