Badminton racket Kawasaki SUPER LIGHT L5

Speed that makes the difference

The Kawasaki SUPER LIGHT L5 is built for players who know that rallies are won in split seconds. Designed for club players and competitive athletes who value dynamic play, it weighs just 76 g — one of the lightest rackets in its class. Lightning-fast swings, quick exchanges at the net, and complete control in every situation — this is how you play when your equipment keeps up with your pace.

Built for fast play

The SUPER LIGHT L5 is a Speed-profile racket — engineered for dynamic, fast-paced badminton. Its lightweight construction lets you sustain long net exchanges without wrist fatigue, while the near-Fast/Stiff shaft delivers instant response on every shot. This is a racket that rewards technical precision and doesn't forgive compromises — perfect for players ready to step up to the next level.

Premium-class technologies

Kawasaki has equipped the L5 with a set of solutions that define its character:

• 24T + 30T Hi-Modulus Graphite — a combination of two high-modulus graphite types in the frame provides an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio; the shaft is made of pure 30T for maximum elasticity and energy return
• Super Light Technology — Kawasaki's proprietary weight-reduction technology achieving just 76 g without sacrificing durability
• Nano Technology — nano-scale reinforcement of the material bonds at molecular level, improving energy transfer
• Super Elastic Tube — a high-elasticity shaft that generates additional power on fast swings
• Aerofoil Frame — aerodynamic frame profile significantly reduces air resistance for maximum swing speed

Who is the SUPER LIGHT L5 for?

This racket is an ideal choice if you:

• Play regularly at a club or in training and need a racket that matches your game pace
• Prefer a fast playing style with drives, flat exchanges, and active net play
• Play doubles or mixed and need lightning reactions in the front court
• Have a developed technique and want equipment that rewards your precision
• Value lightweight feel and manoeuvrability over raw smash power

Unstrung racket — you decide the setup

• String model — from soft strings offering a more "trampoline" feel to thin strings for players demanding maximum control
• String tension — within the manufacturer's recommended range: 18–28 lbs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is the racket sold unstrung? Selling rackets unstrung is standard practice for mid- and high-end models. It lets players choose strings and tension individually — factory stringing is usually a compromise and rarely matches a specific player's preferences.

What tension do you recommend for a club-level Speed player? For fast play, a typical choice is 23–26 lbs. Higher tension gives better control and precision during fast, flat exchanges. If you're still developing your technique, start at 22–24 lbs. If in doubt, message us — we'll give you personalised advice.

Isn't 76 g too light? For players still learning the game — no. A lighter racket requires more wrist work to generate power, but in return delivers incredible speed and manoeuvrability. 76 g rackets are a popular choice among women, girls, and club players who value dynamic play.

Is the SUPER LIGHT L5 suitable for beginners? The manufacturer classifies it as a racket for club players and young athletes. The stiff shaft and lightweight construction help develop technique, while also delivering enjoyment in your first matches with friends or at tournaments.

Does the colour affect racket parameters? No — colour is purely aesthetic.

How long does stringing take at your shop? Standard stringing is completed within 1–2 working days of order receipt. The racket ships immediately after stringing.

Is a grip included? Yes, the racket comes with a factory-installed base grip (size G1). Many players add an overgrip for better tack and sweat absorption.

How do I care for such a lightweight racket? Lightweight rackets are more sensitive to impacts against the court, net, or partner's racket — be especially careful in doubles. After play, wipe the frame with a dry cloth and store it in a cover. Avoid extreme temperatures (car boot in summer/winter), which can weaken the graphite structure.
