Description
Overview
The Yonex GR 020 is a senior badminton racket built for beginners and entry-level players. An aluminium head paired with a steel shaft gives it a sturdy, durable frame that copes with the knocks of a school hall.
The head is large, giving new players a bigger string area to meet the shuttle, and the handle is shaped for grip and control. Strings are synthetic and the frame is finished in metallic blue. It sits in our badminton rackets range beside the Yonex GR350.
Key benefits
- Survives school-hall knocks with an aluminium head and steel shaft.
- Easier to meet the shuttle thanks to the large head.
- Handle shaped for a secure grip and control on every stroke.
- Synthetic strings fitted, so it is ready to play out of the bag.
Who it's for
Choose the GR 020 for PE classes, secondary school badminton clubs and recreational players picking up the game. At 66.5 cm it is a senior-length frame; for younger students who need a shorter racket, look at the Avaro Badminton Racket – 61cm instead. It is not aimed at competitive club players who want a performance racket.
Sizing guide
At 66.5 cm long and about 0.2 kg, this is a senior-length racket suited to intermediate and secondary students and adults. Younger primary players may prefer a shorter junior frame.
Care, safety and set-up
Keep the racket in a cover between sessions and store it away from damp. Check string tension and grip wear each term and restring when strings fray.
