Badminton Rackets, Strings & Tensions of Mixed & Women's Doubles Pro Badminton Players

In this post, I’ll be focussing on the rackets, strings and tensions used by the mixed and women's doubles professional players when I interviewed them at the 2022 Yonex All England. I must say I was really surprised by the tensions of some of these players' rackets. It's just unbelievable how high some of these tensions are. Due to nerves (and sometimes excitement), some of the information is missing as I simply forgot to follow up with the players during the interviews so apologies in advance!
