Badminton is a popular racket sport enjoyed by people around the world. The game requires players to use a racket to hit a shuttlecock back and forth to each other. While badminton rackets come pre-gripped, many players prefer to put their own grip on their racket for comfort and better performance. Putting grip on a badminton racket is an easy task and can be done with some basic household items.
What You Will Need:
• Badminton racket
• Grip tape
• Scissors
• Alcohol
Preparing the Racket
The first step in putting grip on a badminton racket is to remove the old grip. To do this, you need to take off the existing grip and clean the handle of the racket. To remove the grip, start at one end and slowly pull it off. Once the grip is removed, use a cloth dampened with alcohol to wipe down the handle of the racket. This will remove any dirt or residue that may be on the handle.
Applying the Grip
Once the handle is clean, you can apply the grip to the handle of the racket. Start by cutting the grip tape to the desired length. Then place the grip tape onto the handle of the racket and wrap it around the handle. Make sure to wrap the grip tape tightly around the handle and that there are no gaps. Once the grip tape is wrapped around the handle, you can use scissors to trim off any excess tape.
Finishing Up
Once the grip tape is applied, you can use a damp cloth to smooth it down and make sure the grip is secure. You can also use a hairdryer to warm up the grip tape and make it more secure. Once the grip is applied, your badminton racket should be ready for use.
Conclusion
Putting grip on a badminton racket is an easy and straightforward process. With some basic household items, it’s possible to put a custom grip on your badminton racket in no time. This will make your racket more comfortable to hold and help improve your performance in the game.
