ShuttleGear: Badminton Strings

"What tension is on this racket again?"
ShuttleGear is a gear notebook for club badminton players. Keep every racket's strings, tension, grip changes and purchase details in one place, and get a reminder when it's time to restring.

If you rotate several rackets or break strings often, stop relying on memory.

■ Your current string in one second
• See the string and tension on each racket right from the home screen
• String and grip condition shown as ring gauges with "Good / Due soon / Replace" labels
• Tap "Played today" after a session and your play log is done

■ Restring log
• "Same as last time" fills in the previous string, tension, shop and cost in one tap
• Tension in lbs or kg, with separate mains and crosses
• A warning before saving if you go over the racket's recommended max tension
• Broke a string? Record where it broke (mains, crosses, near the frame and more) and why
• Popular Yonex, Victor and Li-Ning strings built in, plus your own strings and favorites

■ Grip log
• Overgrip (towel or tacky) or replacement grip, layers, color and cost
• See how many days each grip lasted in your history

■ Racket management
• Tell your rackets apart with a photo or an accent color
• Specs in one place: weight (3U, 4U…), grip size, balance, shaft flex, max recommended tension
• Purchase date, price, store and warranty expiry
• Organize rackets as Active, Stored, In repair or Retired
• Long press to drag them into your preferred order

■ Replacement reminders
• Replacement timing based on days since stringing and number of sessions played
• Adjust the string and grip thresholds (days and sessions) to your style
• A daily reminder at the time you choose (default: 12 noon)
• A heads-up 30 days before a warranty expires

■ Show at the shop
• A dedicated screen with the string name and tension in extra large type
• Screen brightness turned all the way up and kept on
• Just hand your phone to the stringer

■ Stats
• Total spending, restrings and breaks for this month, this year or all time
• Monthly spending chart for the last 12 months (strings and grips)
• Upkeep cost per racket
• Average lifespan and break rate by string
• Where your strings break most often

■ Worry free
• No sign up: start right away, and all records stay on your phone
• Export and import your data to keep your records when you switch phones (photos not included)
• Light and dark themes
• Remove ads with a one time purchase (no subscription)

Before the string snaps, before the grip gets slippery.
