The stringing is the part of the racket that actually touches the shuttlecock. Along with tension, it completely changes your feel. Here is how to choose.
The thinner a string is, the more power, feel, and crisp sound it provides, but the less durable it is. The thicker it is, the stronger and more durable it is, with a softer feel. If you break strings often, increase the thickness; if you are looking for feel, decrease it.
Lower tension (9 to 10 kg) provides easy power and comfort: ideal for beginners. Higher tension (11.5 kg and up) provides precision and control, but requires a clean strike. Most club players fall somewhere in between.
You can order your string alone, or have it installed at the 100%BAD workshop at the tension of your choice when you customize your racket.

Not sure about the string or the tension? It's all explained in my guides, with animated demos. And if you buy your racket here, I string it in my workshop.
