What head-light balance means
In a head-light racket, more weight sits near the handle, so the racket feels quick in the hand. That helps in fast doubles exchanges, defence and net play. It generally gives up a little smash power compared with a head-heavy frame. Read more in head-heavy vs head-light badminton rackets.
