OEM Badminton Racket with Shuttlecock Set – Factory Specifications

This section outlines the engineering parameters that define a badminton racket and shuttlecock set manufactured to OEM specifications, focusing on measurable attributes that influence performance and durability.

Frame Construction and Material Composition

The racket frame is typically fabricated from a high-modulus graphite composite, providing a tensile strength of approximately 450 MPa and a density around 1.55 g/cm³. Aluminum alloy variants (6061‑T6) are offered for cost‑sensitive programs, delivering a yield strength of about 275 MPa with a density of 2.70 g/cm³. The shaft incorporates a tapered design, where the flex point is engineered to deflect 8 mm under a 10 N load, corresponding to a flex rating of medium‑stiff.

Dimensional and Weight Tolerances

Overall length is maintained at 665 mm ± 2 mm, measured from the butt cap to the tip of the frame. Head size is defined by the strung area, ranging from 580 cm² to 620 cm² depending on the model. Unstrung weight falls between 78 g and 88 g, with a tolerance of ± 0.5 g. Balance point, measured from the butt cap, is positioned at 285 mm ± 3 mm for an even‑balance configuration; head‑heavy variants shift this point to 300 mm ± 3 mm.

Shuttlecock Performance Characteristics

Shuttlecocks are available in two constructions: natural feather (goose or duck) and synthetic nylon. Feather shuttlecocks weigh 4.75 g ± 0.05 g and possess a flight stability index of 0.92 when tested at a speed of 78 km/h. Nylon variants weigh 5.0 g ± 0.05 g, with a durability rating of 150 games before noticeable degradation in trajectory. Speed ratings are categorized as slow (75), medium (78), and fast (81) according to the Badminton World Federation scale.

Customization Options

• Frame material: graphite composite, aluminum alloy, or titanium‑reinforced hybrid.
• Shaft flex: selectable deflection values from 6 mm (stiff) to 10 mm (flexible) under 10 N load.
• Grip size: G1 (75 mm), G2 (80 mm), G3 (85 mm) circumference, with optional over‑wrap thickness.
• Cosmetic finish: matte, gloss, or custom pigment matching Pantone references.
• Shuttlecock type: feather, nylon, or hybrid; speed rating adjustable per request.

Quality Control and Testing Protocol

Each production lot undergoes incoming material verification, dimensional inspection, and mechanical testing. Frame tensile strength is measured using a universal testing machine at a strain rate of 5 mm/min; results must exceed 400 MPa for graphite and 250 MPa for aluminum. Flexural deflection is recorded with a three‑point bend fixture, accepting values within ± 0.5 mm of the target specification. Shuttlecocks are screened for weight consistency (± 0.02 g) and flight trajectory using a launch rig set at 20 m/s; deviation from the ideal path must remain under 2°.

Applications in the Sports Supply Chain

OEM buyers integrate these rackets and shuttlecocks into private‑label product lines for sporting‑goods retailers, school sports programs, and professional club distributors. The ability to specify exact flex, weight, and balance enables partners to match performance profiles to distinct player segments—beginner, intermediate, or advanced—without maintaining inventory of multiple SKUs. Moreover, consistent tolerances reduce warranty claims linked to frame deformation or inconsistent shuttle flight, lowering total cost of ownership.

Lead Times, Sampling, and Logistics

Sample production typically requires 10‑12 working days after approval of technical drawings and material selections. Mass production lead times range from 25‑35 days for orders up to 5,000 units, scaling linearly with volume while maintaining the same quality gates. Finished goods are packed in corrugated cartons with internal foam inserts, each carton holding 20 rackets and a corresponding shuttlecock tube; palletization follows ISPM‑15 standards for export durability.
