Hi, what is the difference between the versions of different badminton rackets? I know that the purpose is for different markets, but is there actually a physical difference? Thanks!

Oops, I'm sorry, I meant like Version JP or SP or CH.

Actually, yes - badminton rackets can vary widely in terms of weight and also the shape of the head - some of them are almost boxy while others are very round, and some dip into a sharp v-shape where the head meets the neck. The weight, of course, is important because lighter rackets often allow for a stronger wrist snap which gives a player more power when hitting the birdie. As far as I know, however, the shape doesn't change anything - it's just different manufactuers and personal preference.

I myself use a light racket from Prince, and another heavy Head racket. Most of the time, I like playing with my lighter racket because it has a faster swing and I can turn it easily. You shouldn't worry if your a teenager, I'm a teen myself. Heavier rackets tend to tighten up the upper arm sometimes, and that may lead to a sore arm. But if your wrist hurts with a light racket, you should get the grip changed, so it feels comfortable in your hand.
