Soon, the predecessor of Kawasaki Motorcycle Co., Ltd., Mingfa Industry Co., Ltd. was born. The first motorcycle it manufactured was the "Mingfa 80" motorcycle. In 1955, it used the original West German motorcycle as a model to create the "Mingfa 125". "type motorcycle. In the fierce competition at that time, Mingfa Company was eventually acquired by the powerful Kawasaki Company due to limitations in scale and capabilities. Because it was still conducting business cooperation with Laopu Project Manufacturing Co., Ltd., it was not fully owned by Kawasaki until 1964. Company owned. The product that played a decisive role in Kawasaki motorcycles' status in Japan and abroad was the "A1" motorcycle produced in 1966. Due to its outstanding performance, it was very popular in Japan. The manufacturing of this kind of high-end vehicle also establishes the basic characteristics of Kawasaki's motorcycles. Among Japan's four major motorcycle manufacturing companies, Kawasaki's motorcycle products are very distinctive, that is, small output, few models, high quality, and high prices.

It won the world championship for four consecutive years from 1978 to 1981, and based on this, it created the "KR250" enhanced super sports motorcycle. In addition, Kawasaki is the first manufacturer in the world to mass-produce DOHC parallel four-cylinder engines. The "Z1" and "Z2" motorcycles equipped with this engine have a very high reputation. Although Kawasaki's influence in producing motorcycles is not as good as the top three companies, it is very famous in the Japanese industry. Motorcycle manufacturing is only a division of Kawasaki's Bicycle Division, and its highest sales are machinery equipment, such as bridges, tanks, thermal power generation equipment and iron-making equipment, which support Japan's industry. In addition to these products, Kawasaki also produces aircraft (especially helicopters) and electric locomotives for the Yamanote Line, Chuo Line, and Shinkansen lines in Tokyo, Japan. Most are electric locomotives manufactured by Kawasaki. Kawasaki has 17 factories in Japan, and motorcycle production is only carried out at the Akashi factory.

KAWASAKI brand; the racket manufacturing technology currently used has gone beyond one-dimensional power or control models. Its swing speed, reverse torque, ball control ability, hitting power, and rebound performance are all of high quality, providing excellent vibration. Absorbency and comfortable feel. The latest large oval frame design, the sweet spot is larger, and the smash is more powerful; Equipment identification badminton. Open both ends of a tube of balls, then place one end on top of the steam and smoke until the steam comes out from the other end. Then cover it and store it. It should become more durable within two weeks. But don't hit the balls that have just been smoked, as they will be heavy if wet. Furthermore, when buying a ball, buy a ball that is more durable. You can buy a few more and try them out yourself. For beginners, 30 balls per tube are enough. The problem with the beat.

Generally speaking, you should buy a racket according to your own situation. There are two important attributes to pay attention to.

Softness and hardness:

There is usually a bar on the body of the racket near the handle, with FLEXABLE and STUFF written on both ends. The position of the arrow indicates the softness and hardness of the racket, and it is close to F. soft. For beginners, a racket near the S third is more suitable. Relatively speaking, it is moderately soft and hard, which is conducive to learning techniques and developing hand feel.

Thread tension:

There will be a piece of paper attached to the top of the racket handle with XU and GX written on it, and X is a number. Pay attention to XU, which is generally three numbers 234. This indicates the tension of the line. Beginners are strongly recommended to use a 3U racket, which has a wide pulling force range, generally 16 to 28 pounds. The data given by the racket is relatively conservative. Since the feeling of exerting force needs to be mastered slowly, the thread should not be worn too tight. 21 pounds is enough. If your strength is relatively strong, you can try to increase it yourself.

In addition, there are two types of rackets. If you look closely, you can find that some have round heads and some are slightly square. The round ones are fast and suitable for doubles, while the square ones have better control and are suitable for singles. If you are a beginner, of course you have to use a single beat for easy control.

If your financial ability is limited, a racket with more than 200 yuan should be a good choice. If you can afford it, you can choose one with around 800 yuan. Note that when buying rackets, you must go to a specialty store. They have a wide range of varieties and cheap prices. Don’t be afraid to spend time and choose carefully. Avoid going to big shopping malls.

When playing golf, you can find more opportunities to try other people's rackets. If you feel comfortable, you can consider buying one, or you can find your own direction of purchase based on its characteristics.

Purchase of badminton shoes

1. You should choose a pair of sneakers that are light in weight and comfortable to wear. If they are special shoes for badminton, the effect will be better.

2． Good badminton shoes can make your steps fly. When choosing, pay attention to the best way to use beef tendon soles, which will have better toughness and are suitable for indoor sports. If you are outdoors, you can choose high-grade rubber synthetic soles, which are also effective. The soles of badminton shoes are mostly made of raw rubber or artificial rubber. The soles of raw rubber are suitable for wooden courts because of their strong grip. Therefore, volleyball shoes can be used as dual-purpose shoes for badminton and volleyball. However, the soles of different brands will be harder due to the excessive proportion of raw rubber mixed with powder during the production process, and the soles will become very slippery after a short time without wear and tear, so you must be cautious when purchasing to avoid wasting money.

Artificial rubber soles are divided into hard soles and soft soles. Hard soles are like tennis shoes, suitable for cement or terrazzo ground, while soft soles are designed to play on PU courts.

The current badminton courts are divided into cement, wooden and PU courts. If a fall occurs on a cement court, the situation is often more serious than on a wooden or PU court, so it is not suitable for use as a competition venue. As for wooden floors and PU courts, they each have their own merits. Wooden floors are more likely to become slippery due to moisture or sweat from players during competitions. Although PU courts are as elastic as wooden floors, PU has shock-absorbing capabilities, so PU is used in international competitions. The venue serves as a playing field.

3. No matter what kind of shoes you wear, the most important thing is to have a concept: it is best to wear indoor playing shoes when you want to play. Firstly, you can avoid the shoes getting dirty, and secondly, you can prevent the soles from being covered with dust and becoming slippery. It can extend the service life of shoes.

4． The last thing to note is that badminton shoes should fit your feet properly when you put them on. They should not be too big or too small. This will help you perform better in the sport and reduce your chance of injury.

5. Most high-end badminton shoes are made of composite raw rubber materials. The parts of the front and rear soles that contact the ground are made of raw rubber to enhance the grip performance of the shoes;

6. Tough on the outside and soft on the inside The sole helps improve starting speed and cushioning performance, effectively absorbs shock when the foot lands, and converts the shock into energy.

7. The thickness of the sole has a far greater impact than the weight of the shoe. Try not to choose sneakers with too thick soles;
