A solid badminton technique starts with learning the correct grip. The ELI Badminton Racket - Advanced supports this process with clear finger and colour markings on the racket, enabling children aged 10 and above to learn how to perform both forehand and backhand grips correctly. The different colours on either side of the racket also make it immediately visible to coaches and teachers whether the racket is being held properly. Combined with the isometric head shape, this racket helps players refine their technique further and play with greater control.

Key Features

• Teaches the correct grip through finger markings
• Makes grip control easy thanks to the two different colours of the head
• Encourages correct handling through the oval handle
• Increases the chance of clean contact thanks to the isometric head shape
• Improves handling speed through the slim shaft
• Supports technical development through the ELI learning concept

The ELI Badminton Racket - Advanced is part of the Easy Learning Initiative (ELI) by Talbot-Torro. This innovative learning concept has been developed to make badminton more accessible within schools. The range consists of rackets specifically designed for children, aligned with different age groups. Within the ELI programme, players progress step by step from Mini to Junior, Teen, and ultimately Advanced, with each variant tailored to the player’s development.

For players aged 10 and up, the Advanced version features an isometric head shape. This head shape is slightly larger and more angular than a traditional badminton racket, increasing the size of the sweet spot. Even when the shuttle is not struck perfectly in the centre, the racket remains forgiving in play. This helps players develop greater control and consistency in their strokes while continuing to refine their technical skills.

The slim shaft, with a diameter approximately 0.5 mm smaller, reduces air resistance and contributes to a highly manoeuvrable racket. This makes the racket feel light in the hand and allows players to respond more quickly during rallies and technical drills. By combining grip support, an enlarged sweet spot, and increased handling speed, this racket provides a strong foundation for further development of badminton skills.
