OLIVER Superbird S7 racket delivers 83g lightweight power

The OLIVER Superbird S7, a graphite badminton racket weighing just 83 grams with a head-light balance and a flexible shaft, is positioned by its maker as an all-court option that pairs quick handling with extra power on aggressive shots, Decathlon reported.

At 83 g, the Superbird S7 sits among the lighter adult rackets available, and Decathlon says that low mass makes it easy to maneuver, allowing fast reactions and precise movements on court.

Flexible Shaft Adds Power With Less Effort

Decathlon describes the Superbird S7 as equipped with a flexible shaft that supports each stroke and delivers greater power. That construction, the company says, makes it possible to execute powerful shots with little effort, which is why the racket is aimed especially at advanced players who value power and dynamics.

The head-light balance works in the same direction. Decathlon says the slight weight toward the head gives an combination of control and additional power, providing the force needed for powerful strokes while maintaining precise control — described as suited to demanding plays that require efficiency and control.

The full technical sheet, as listed by Decathlon, breaks down as follows:

  • Weight: 83 g
