Shipping address for used badminton rackets
RW-Sportartikel
Attn: Stringing Service
Ahrensburger Str. 105

Germany
Do not send a racket before ordering the service online. Always include
a printed copy of the order confirmation in the parcel.
What should you do when sending several rackets?
When several used rackets are sent, attach a separate note to every
racket stating:
- the required badminton string,
- the required tension in kilograms.
This allows us to assign every stringing job correctly and prevents
confusion.
Which badminton string suits your game?
Badminton strings differ in gauge, durability, elasticity and feel. A
thinner string may provide a direct and lively response but is usually
less durable than a thicker string.
| Preferred characteristic |
General tendency |
| Direct feel |
Thinner or textured string with clear feedback |
| Durability |
More robust string with a slightly larger gauge |
| Power and repulsion |
Elastic string with a lively response |
| Control |
Direct string combined with a suitable tension |
| Comfort |
Elastic string without unnecessarily high tension |
The right choice depends on playing level, technique, wear and personal
preference. Browse our
badminton strings for more options.
Which badminton string tension should you choose?
String tension influences racket feedback and the size of the forgiving
hitting area. Higher tension may feel more direct and controlled but
usually requires more accurate technique.
Lower or moderate tension generally provides a more forgiving hitting
area and may make acceleration easier. The highest possible tension is
therefore not automatically the best choice.
Beginners and recreational players
Moderate tension is usually more comfortable and more forgiving when
the shuttle is not struck perfectly in the centre.
Advanced players
A more direct setup may provide better control when technique and
hitting accuracy are sufficiently developed.
Tournament and performance players
Experienced players often match the string and tension precisely to
the racket, technique and preferred response.
The racket manufacturer’s maximum recommended tension must not be
exceeded.
Inspection of the frame and grommets
Before stringing, we inspect used badminton rackets for visible frame
damage, damaged grommets and worn grommet strips.
When damage or additional repair work is identified, we contact you and
inform you of possible additional costs. Additional work is carried out
only after your approval.
Restringing cannot repair existing frame damage. A severely damaged
racket may no longer be safe to restring.
Processing time
Processing normally takes 2–3 working days after the racket arrives,
plus shipping time.
Return shipping in Germany
Return shipping within Germany is free from a total order value of
€100.
International shipments
Customers outside Germany pay both outward and return shipping costs,
regardless of the order value.
Dropping off a racket at our Hamburg shop
A badminton racket may be dropped off at our Hamburg shop without an
online order. We discuss the required string, tension and earliest
possible completion date when the racket is handed over.
Customers dropping off rackets in person may bring their own suitable
badminton string. This option does not apply to the online mail-in
service.
