Badminton engineering
Kumpoo builds rackets for the half-second between a lift and a smash. Carbon frames, tuned shafts and balance points chosen for one thing: getting your racket head to the shuttle before your opponent expects it.
Three frames that cover most players: one to attack with, one to move with, and one that refuses to pick a side.
The Hebei provincial team frame. T1000 carbon over a foam-filled box head, a patented pliers front cap, and a grip cut with mountain, river and wave line-work.
One ultra-light box frame in three weights, down to an 8U that weighs 65 g. A fish-mouth front cap takes a quarter out of swing resistance.
Daren Liew's signature frame. A patented hexagon shaft and a dual-frame head — box below for control, sword above for speed — at a 297 mm balance.
Four engineering decisions that show up in how the racket feels on the third shot of a long rally, not just on the spec sheet.
An inverted hexagonal cone at the T-joint pulls the flex point forward for a quicker rebound, and cuts deformation under load by 7.5% against a round shaft.
A full-carbon cap that closes on the shaft rather than sleeving over it: 25% more contact area, 40% better anti-torsion.
Polyurethane injected into the frame sets as a sponge inside the carbon, keeping the sting of contact out of the forearm.
Shafts step down through 6.6, 6.5, 6.3 and 6.1 mm — less air to push through the swing, and a shaft that loads and returns faster.
Pick the way you win points and the frame follows.
Head-heavy, stiff, unapologetic. For the player who ends rallies from the baseline.
See frames →Slim shafts and light heads for flat drives, fast hands and doubles front court.
See frames →Even balance that adapts to singles and doubles without asking you to change grip habits.
See frames →Head-light and flexible for defence, deception and long patient rallies.
See frames →Tested, not simulated
Prototypes go to club players and coaches before they reach a catalogue. A frame only ships when the people hitting with it can describe what changed — and want to keep the racket.
