Both of these rackets are 18” long making them ideal for kids under 5 year old depending on the size of your child. One neat feature designed especially to appeal to children is that this set comes with a LED birdie which glows in the dark.

On what basis i selected these rackets

Weight of the racket

Kids have less strength in their shoulder and badminton demands a lot of shoulder movement for swings

So for kids racket with less weight are good (For Kids who are playing for fun)

But if you want your kid to play badminton more than just a outdoor game ( means taking classes)

than my advice is to buy your son/daughter a heavy racket because it will help them to improve power in their arms and also heavy racket provides more momentum to swing so the shuttle hit from a heavy racket will go longer than compare to light racket.

Flexibility of the shaft

The flexibility (malleability) of badminton rackets is known with the terms 1). Flexible 2). Stiff 3). Medium

A stiff racket is not very flexible, and therefore offers good control. A stiff badminton racket will require more strength to produce powerful hits. If you however naturally have a powerful stroke you will discover that you can hit harder with a stiff racket than with a flexible racket. Thanks to these properties stiff badminton rackets are better suited for a more aggressive playing style. This produces a sort of launching effect causing the strokes to easily travel further. The strikes are slightly less accurate then. Flex badminton rackets are primarily suited for a more defensive style of playing. A medium badminton racket is situated in between stiff and flex in terms of flexibility.

Flexible shaft provides more control and it act as a cushion to the swing of racket which reduce the risk of wrist injury.

But a stiff shaft is more for smashes and not recommended for a beginner.

Length of the racket

Always keep in mind the height of your kid while purchasing racket you don’t want a racket who’s length is equal or more than your child height.

That’s why i divided the list in too part one is for kids under 5 year old( 4 etc.)

and other is for 9 year old kids.

And of course colors of the racket which every kid wants in their racket.
