Thwack SFX 5000 Badminton Racquet

The Thwack SFX  5000 badminton racquet was designed to give you a killer advantage on court. It features a patented unique grip that makes even the hardest shots easy to execute. Called the Guobao Grip, after the ex-world champion Xiong Guobao who invented it, this special design is the fruit of over a decade of research.



The former Back Hand King spent years discussing and analysing players' problems with regular rackets before finding the most effective and practical method of holding a racket. The SFX 5000, dubbed the Back Hand King racquet, allows both professionals and amateurs to perfect their techniques, whether it's their forehand or backhand stroke.
Grooves in the grip allows you to place your index finger above the thumb for the forehand, and below for an attacking-backhand shot. The idea here is to increase your muscle memory so that each time you use the racquet, the more accustomed you get to the correct grip. Weighing only about 83 - 87g, the SFX 5000 - with its full carbon rod -  is very light and that helps reduce fatigue on court, as well.

Is it really useful? It's up to you to decide.
