FAQs
Are these rackets suitable for high school students?
These are primarily designed for primary school students; the sizing of the Mini and Midi Blade models may be too small for the average high schooler.
Does the set come with a net?
No, this set includes 16 rackets, 24 shuttlecocks, and a holdall bag, but it does not include a badminton net system.
Can I buy replacement shuttlecocks separately?
Yes, standard C100+ style shuttlecocks are widely available, though you should verify compatibility with your preferred vendor.
How should I clean the rackets?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the handles and frames; avoid using harsh chemicals or submersing the rackets in water.
Is the holdall bag durable enough for daily use?
The bag is designed for the standard transport needs of a school setting, but you should avoid overstuffing it with non-badminton equipment to keep the zippers in good condition.
Troubleshooting
Shuttlecock path is inconsistent
Check the shuttlecock skirt for tears or bent feathers; replace if damaged.
Racket string feels loose
Ensure the student is hitting the shuttle in the center of the sweet spot; over time, general school use will cause natural string fatigue.
Holdall zipper becomes stuck
Clear any debris or stray shuttlecock feathers from the zipper track and ensure the load is balanced inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Carlton badminton set, ensure the equipment is stored in a dry, temperate environment. Do not leave the rackets in extreme heat or humidity, as this can affect the tension of the strings. After each session, perform a quick count of the shuttlecocks to ensure they are returned to their tubes, which protects the flight feathers or plastic skirts from becoming crushed in the bag. The holdall should be zipped completely closed when not in use to prevent equipment from falling out during transit. Regularly inspect the racket frames for any structural cracks or loose strings, and remove any damaged shuttlecocks from the rotation to prevent them from hitting other students.
