Badminton set for beginners – defense

Compiled by athletes for athletes – your safe start for controlled, fast play

The Defence Set is ideal for players who value quick reactions, precise shots and a controlled defensive playing style. Compiled and tested by athletes, this set gives you the perfect foundation if you want to score with technique, lightness and precision.

Included in the set:

Yonex Nanoflare Ability Black/Red

An ultralight badminton racket weighing 78 g with a handle-heavy balance for maximum manoeuvrability and control. The Sonic Flare System supports fast, precise shots and makes the racket especially suitable for defensive players with quick reactions and good court awareness.

Why a handle-heavy racket is ideal for defence

With handle-heavy rackets, the balance point is closer to the grip. This makes the racket feel especially fast and manoeuvrable.

This helps you particularly in flat exchanges, drives and quick defensive situations. You can move the racket faster, control your shots more easily and react quickly to your opponent’s attacks.

The downside: smashes generate slightly less power, as there is less weight in the head area to create momentum. For defensive players, however, the benefits clearly outweigh this: more control, better reaction speed and more precise shots.

Victor Carbonsonic 77 Shuttlecocks, 12-tube

The sustainable and vegan alternative to conventional badminton shuttlecocks. Thanks to their robust construction with carbon and foam feathers, the shuttles offer longer durability while still providing good flight performance. With speed 77, they are ideal for training, leisure play and regular club sessions.

Yonex Super Grap 3-Pack Black

A non-slip overgrip for precise feel and a clean look. Why black? Light-coloured grips get dirty faster – black keeps your grip looking fresh for longer.

Yonex Pro Racket Bag Dark Green

A practical double racket bag with two large main compartments for rackets, clothing and accessories. It also features a small additional pocket for your wallet or keys, as well as a separate shoe compartment to keep your sports shoes and equipment cleanly separated.

Thanks to the shoulder straps, the bag is easy to carry – ideal for training and tournaments.

Why this set makes sense

• Handle-heavy racket for more speed and control
  
• Ideal for defensive, reactive playing styles
  
• Thin grip tape for precise feedback and better hold
  
• Double racket bag with shoe compartment and valuables pocket
  
• High-quality branded products from YONEX and VICTOR
  
• Save almost €20 compared to buying the items separately
  
• Tested by athletes – for your safe start
