Here’s a review of the HIRALIY Badminton Rackets Set — what it delivers, where it falls short, and whether it’s a good fit depending on how you’d use it.
What the Set Includes & Key Specs
From product descriptions and user feedback, this set typically offers:
- 4 rackets with tempered steel frames and built‑in T‑Joints.
- 12 shuttlecocks made of nylon (the heads are complex cork + nylon “feather”) for durability.
- 4 replacement grip tapes.
- 4 protection tapes for the racket frames (to reduce damage / wear).
- A carrying bag for portability and storage.
- Weight of each racket: about 4.3 oz (~122 g) per racket.
- Oval head design to give a larger “sweet spot.”
The set is aimed at beginner / casual / backyard players, people playing with family/friends for fun, not competitive / high‑level indoor badminton.
What It Does Well (Strengths)
- Good Value & Package Completeness
You get a lot in one package: multiple rackets, spares (grips, tapes), shuttles, bag. For casual play or family backyard games, that means fewer extra purchases. - Lightweight & Manageable Rackets
At ~4.3 oz per racket, most users say these are comfortable to swing without getting arm fatigue too fast. That helps for casual / recreational play. - Racket Frame Durability (Relative to Price)
The use of tempered steel for the frames offers more sturdiness vs very cheap/alloy‑thin frames. For non‑professional use, these hold up if used with reasonable care. - Portability
The carrying bag makes it easier to bring the set outside (yard, park), and to store when not in use. - Accessories Help Longevity
The inclusion of protection tapes, replacement grips etc. is nice since grips often degrade due to sweat/use, and frame edges can get scuffed. Having spares means longer usable life.
What to Be Careful About / Limitations
- Frame & Handle Weakness under Stress
Some users report that dropping or banging rackets (esp. on ground or against hard surfaces) can cause dents, handle damage, or ultimate breakage of weaker parts. The “tempered steel” is better than the cheapest metal, but it’s not high-end alloy or carbon. - String Durability & Tension
The pre‑stringing is done with good tension for beginners, but strings may loosen, fray, or break with regular heavy use. If used by more aggressive players or frequently, performance may drop as strings degrade. - Grip Quality
The replacement grips and included ones are serviceable, but some users find them less “sticky” or that they wear out quickly, especially if hands often sweat. Replacing or wrapping over good grips may be needed. - Shuttlecock Quality & Flight
Nylon shuttles are more durable outdoors and cheaper, but they generally don’t have the same feel, speed, or flight stability as feather shuttles. Also, in windy or damp conditions, performance drops more. - Not Ideal for Competitive / Advanced Use
If you’re playing tournaments or want very precise control, speed, lightweight carbon rackets, etc., then this set will feel limiting (less stiffness, less precision, more flex). It’s made for fun rather than performance. - Accessories / Net Stability (for sets with net)
If your set includes a net (some HIRALIY variants do), users have said net poles, supports or attachments aren’t very robust; the net may sag or require frequent adjustment; wind can topple it unless anchored.
Who This Set is Good For
- Beginners: kids, teens, or anyone new to badminton.
- Casual / recreational players who play in backyard, park or occasionally.
- Families who want a fun outdoors game set.
- As a gift, or for holiday / travel use where high performance isn’t required.
Who Might Want Something Else
- Players who train frequently indoors and want more precision / stiffness in racket, better materials (carbon, high‑grade aluminum)
- Those who play competitively or in tournaments — they’ll likely need better stringing, lighter frames, higher tension, etc.
- If you need gear that will face rough conditions (hard courts, heavy use) or want pro‑level durability.
Final Verdict
HIRALIY Badminton Rackets Set offers very good bang for your buck if your goal is casual, fun play. For the money you pay, you’re getting multiple rackets, spare accessories, shuttlecocks, and a bag — all of which makes it very appealing for families, beginners, or those wanting a complete set to play outdoors without needing to source everything separately.
