Best Badminton Rackets in India (2026)

Start with a light, medium-flex racquet that comes strung so you can play straight away. Of the picks here, the Li-Ning G-Force 5900 Superlite and Victor Thruster K 280 Superlite come strung, and the Victor lists medium stiffness. Leave very stiff, head-heavy frames until your technique develops.

Yonex, Li-Ning and Victor all make racquets across price bands, and this page includes two Yonex picks alongside Li-Ning, Victor and Apacs. Choose by weight, flex and whether the racquet comes strung rather than by brand alone.

Lower tensions are more forgiving and give more power on off-centre hits; higher tensions give more control but need cleaner technique. The Victor and Apacs list a 30 lb maximum and the Yonex titles quote 30 lbs, so stay within that and ask your stringer what suits your game.

Buy from Yonex's official store or an authorised seller, check that the model name on the listing matches the racquet you receive, and contact the brand if anything about the racquet or its packaging looks wrong.

Restring when the strings feel loose or lose their response, or when a string breaks. Players who play often need to restring more often than occasional players.

The best badminton racket in India is the Li-Ning G-Force 5900 Superlite Strung Badminton Racquet (79 g, Red/Silver). Our top pick: a strung, 79 g carbon-fibre racquet that's ready to play, with Li-Ning's slim TB Nano-tech shaft and Aerotech head.

The picks in this guide are listed at ₹1,700–₹3,000 on Amazon.in. Prices change often, so check the current price on each pick above.

• Key factors: Strung or unstrung: the Li-Ning G-Force 5900 Superlite and Victor Thruster K 280 Superlite come strung; the Apacs Nano Fusion Speed 722 ships unstrung, and the Yonex listings don't say. An unstrung racquet needs stringing before you can play.
• Weight: lighter racquets are quicker to swing. The weights listed here run from 76 g (Apacs) to 79 g (Li-Ning), with both Yonex racquets at 77 g.
• Balance and flex: head-light, medium-flex frames are easier to control while you learn; stiff, head-heavy frames reward strong technique. Of the picks here, only the Victor (medium stiffness) and Apacs (medium flex) state their flex.

Yonex Nanoray Light 18i Graphite Badminton Racquet (77 g, Black) is the most affordable pick in this guide. The lowest-priced pick here: a 77 g Yonex graphite racquet with an isometric head and a full cover.
