speedBuilt-in grommets for improved aerodynamics- About the new X-FEEL seriesThe new X-FEEL rackets are Babolat's new POWER range. Four models that have been specifically designed by skill level to give you power and playability.
- X-Feel Origin unstrung weight: 85 g - 3U (85-89 g)The weight (actually the mass) is measured in grams. Racket weights range from 60 g to over 100 g. They are grouped into weight categories expressed in "U". The lighter the racket, the more comfortable and easier it will be to handle. It will put less stress on your arm and feel faster to swing. The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get.
- X-Feel Origin flex: Semi-stiffFlexibility is defined as the shaft's capacity to bend while hitting. Shafts can range from flexible to stiff. The more flexible the shaft, the more forgiving and comfortable it will be. It will also help you hit longer shots. The stiffer the shaft, the more repulsion power and precision you'll get, but you'll also need to be able to swing quickly. You should also keep in mind that a stiff racket is not very forgiving.
- X-Feel Origin balance: NeutralBalance refers to the racket's weight distribution. It is indicated in millimetres and is measured from the base of the handle to the balance point. A head-light racket will be more manoeuvrable and responsive, making it perfect for defensive and doubles players. Head-heavy rackets will provide more power, making them the ideal choice for offensive players. However, they can feel heavy and difficult to swing.
- X-Feel Origin composition: HM GraphiteThe price of a badminton racket is affected by its composition. Steel and/or aluminium rackets are sturdy, heavy and better suited to recreational use. Graphite/aluminium and full graphite rackets are lightweight and perfect for beginner and intermediate players. Finally, rackets made from High-Modulus Graphite and other materials like tungsten are designed for advanced players.
- X-Feel Origin length: 675 mmThe length of an adult's racket is measured in millimetres and ranges from 660 mm to 680 mm. Only the length of the racket shaft varies. The shorter the shaft, the easier it will be to handle and the better the feel. A longer shaft will give you a higher swingweight for added power.
- X-Feel Origin grip size: Size 2 = G4Grip size is measured in millimetres. Grip size varies from 75 mm to over 90 mm and is categorised into size ranges expressed in "G". While a larger grip is easier to hold, it can make changing your grip more difficult. A smaller grip is easier to wield and lets you put more power on the racket by using your fingers.
- Original stringsRackets come pre-strung with black Babolat Ifeel string with a gauge of 0.70 mm.
- X-Feel Origin factory tension: 8-9 kg/18-20 lbsTension is expressed in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs). Rackets are strung at around 9 kg (20 lbs), but note that strings lose tension over time.
- X-Feel Origin maximum recommended tension: 12 kg/27 lbsBabolat recommends a maximum tension for all its rackets to prevent the string or frame from breaking while stringing or hitting.
- X-Feel Origin string pattern: 20*21The string pattern is indicated with the number of vertical strings ⨯ the number of horizontal strings. In badminton, these are referred to as mains ⨯ crosses. This configuration increases grip and improves spin.
- Stringing instructions for 82 holes: A = top, B = bottom"4 knot stringing instructions. Mains: start from top centre and continue to A13 (skip A8, A10, A12 and B9, B11) and tie off at A9. (same other side) Crosses: start from the centre and string the bottom crosses from B23 to B8 (skip B12 and B10), tie off at B7. String the top crosses from A19 to A8 (skip A13, A11 and A9) and tie off at A6."
- SPEED AEROGrommets built into the racket frame to improve the aerodynamics for more power and manoeuvrability.
- X-FEEL TECHThe same shape as the original X-Feel rackets, but with stiffer frames to stop them distorting and to give you more feel.
