Strength Pro is a specific range of strength and power training products for badminton players of all levels looking to enhance their game. Strength Pro was created by Matthew Hughes, one of the UKs leading badminton players for the last decade. Matthew was a world ranked doubles player for many years and won a number of titles including Spanish Open in consecutive years. The first strength concept was developed by Matthew from analysis and observation, over many years of travelling and playing around the world and having the opportunity to witness various different training techniques used by top players. Several forms of resistance training have traditionally been used, ranging from the classic single head racket cover, to the use of squash rackets and in some instances, tennis rackets. The idea of a heavy badminton racket came about after a long time persevering with using a squash racket in training routines. Matthew felt the use of a squash racket was beneficial in terms of gaining strength and power within the specific muscles over a period of time. But what the squash racket failed to give you was the obvious, the touch and feel of a badminton racket. After several months research the Strength Pro concept became a reality. The main objective was to produce a badminton racket which had the weight resistance of a squash racket and the performance of a normal badminton racket. As many new products do, It took some time before the balance of the characteristics came into place. Strength Pro teamed up with Karakal, one of the worlds leading rackets brands to assist in the manufacture of the newly created Strength Pro badminton racket.
