About the I-PULSE series
The I-PULSE series is Babolat's entry-level CLUB offer. These flexible rackets incorporate two technologies to improve play on the backcourt and offer a balance of power, accuracy and control.
Weight
85 g +/- 3 g. The weight (actually the mass) is measured in grams. A badminton racket's weight ranges from 60 grams to over 100 grams and is classified into different "U" weight ranges. The lighter a racket is, the more manoeuvrable and comfortable it will be. It's also easier to swing and faster, although less powerful. On the other hand, a heavier racket will be more powerful but less comfortable.
Flexibility
very flexible.
Flexibility is defined as the shaft's capacity to bend while hitting. Shafts can range from flexible to rigid.A flexible shaft is more forgiving and will help you hit the shuttlecock further, although your shots will be slower. While a rigid shaft provides better propulsion, it requires a fast swing and is less forgiving.

Balance
Head heavy (295 mm +/- 5 mm).
Balance refers to the racket's weight distribution. It is indicated in millimetres and is measured from the base of the handle to the balance point. A head light racket will be more manoeuvrable and reactive, making it perfect for defensive and doubles players. Head heavy rackets will provide better power, the ideal choice for offensive players. However, they can feel heavy and difficult to swing.

Composition
HM Graphite.
The composition of a badminton racket impacts its price. Steel and/or aluminium rackets are sturdy, heavy and better suited to recreational use. Graphite/aluminium and full graphite rackets are lightweight and perfect for beginner and intermediate players. Finally, rackets made from High-Modulus Graphite and other materials like tungsten are designed for advanced players.

Length
675 mm.
The length of a kids' racket is measured in millimetres and changes based on the player's age. Kids aged 4 to 6 should use a 540 mm racket, ages 7 to 11 should opt for a 620 mm racket. As soon as kids advance to an intermediate skill level, they should use an adults' racket.

Grip size
Size 2 --> G4 = medium (85-89 mm)
Grip size is measured in millimetres. Grip size ranges from 75 mm to over 90 mm and is categorized into size ranges expressed in "G". While a larger handle is easier to hold, many players have difficulty changing their grip. A smaller handle is easier to wield and lets you put more power on the racket by using your fingers.

Original strings
Rackets come pre-strung with black Babolat Challenge Hilife string with a gauge of 0.85 mm.
Pre-strung and recommended
Factory tension: 8-9 kg.
Tension recommended by the brand: 8-12 kg.
The rackets come with a tension that ranges between 8 kg and 10 kg, depending on tension losses that occur during transport. Each brand indicates a recommended tension, generally somewhere between 8 kg and 12 kg. This is to prevent the string or frame from breaking while stringing or hitting. Finally, some rackets have a reinforced frame that can withstand a tension of up to 16 kg.

Optimum Kick Point
The bottom of the shaft has been stiffened to move the flexion point higher up the shaft. In this spot, the flexion point increases the shaft's stiffness and improves accuracy.
Ultra Aero Frame
An aerodynamic frame design made with scalable sections that cut through the air and offer the perfect balance of power and manoeuvrability.
