What does "U" mean in badminton?
“U” is the unit of weight (unstrung). 2U = 90-94.9g, 3U = 85-89.9 g, 4U=80-84.9g, and 5U=75-79.9 g. Rackets that weigh less than 85g are termed lightweight, and are the best rackets for new players. Some advanced players also prefer light rackets because of the faster swing speed and maneuverability. Heavy rackets are preferred by players who want greater momentum."G" is the grip size of racket. There are 5 sizes: G1, G2, G3, G4, G5. The bigger the number, the smaller the grip size. Choose the right size based on the size of your palm.
