Accessories

Everything beyond the racquet and shoes that improves comfort, performance, and maintenance.

Shuttlecocks

Choose between feather and nylon depending on performance and durability needs.

• Feather: Best flight and control; common in competition; less durable.
• Nylon/Plastic: Tough, consistent, and affordable—great for practice and beginners.

Grips

The grip influences feel, sweat control, and handle size.

• Overgrips: Thin, tacky, absorbent; easy to replace frequently.
• Replacement grips: Thicker cushioning and shock absorption.
• Towel grips: Excellent sweat absorption; need regular changing.

Wristbands, Headbands & Towels

Manage sweat so your grip and vision stay sharp.

• Wristbands: Stop sweat from reaching the grip.
• Headbands: Keep hair and sweat out of your eyes.
• Microfiber towels: Quick-drying for timeouts and between games.

Bags

Protect and organize your equipment.

• Backpack: Compact, everyday use.
• Tournament bag: Thermal-lined racquet pockets, separate shoe & clothes compartments.
• Sling/compact: Minimal carry for drills and light sessions.

Protective Gear

Reduce risk during high-intensity play.

• Ankle & knee supports: Extra stability for jumps and lunges.
• Finger tape & elbow sleeves: Help manage overuse and minor strains.

Stringing & Maintenance

For players who tweak and maintain their own gear.

• Stringing machines: Customize tension for power/control.
• Cutters & clamps: Quick restring and small fixes.
• Grommet strips: Replace worn grommets to protect strings.

Fitness & Recovery

Build strength and bounce back faster between sessions.

• Resistance bands: Shoulder and forearm work for stronger smashes.
• Foam rollers & massage balls: Myofascial release after play.
• Skipping rope: Footwork conditioning and warm-ups.

Quick Buying Tips

• Match your level: Start with nylon shuttles and overgrips; upgrade as your control improves.
• Prioritize comfort: If your hands sweat, keep spare overgrips or towel grips in your bag.
• Protect your racquets: Thermal-lined compartments help maintain string tension in hot cars/gyms.
• Maintain regularly: Replace worn grommets and grips; restring when control/power drops.
