How do you store rackets properly without them hitting and scratching each other?

By keeping them separated by racket covers or putting them in their covers. But I never experienced scratching even with them right next to each other.

 

I keep each racquet in those soft fabric/felt drawstring racquet bags within my racquet bag - they don’t add bulk

 

i only carry 3 badminton rackets at a time and i usually put them in the case that i bought them in and each badminton shoe in between to prevent clashing, i do this because i use quite light weight and delicate rackets and a light tap on each other could damage them enought to spend another £100 to get it fixed.

 

I usually keep a racket in a full padded case, then you can place two more rackets on either side without the case in your bag to have them all protected.

 

I've got the blue Yonex bag from I think a 2012 something event (bought it when it was on Sale). Don't know how many racquets it's meant to hold, but I can fit 4-5 racquets in the rear zipped compartment. Because I don't want them damaged (I go for mid to high range racquets), I put them in in the full length covers before they go in the bag.

I found out you can find cheapish covers for just the heads of racquets (£5.00-6.50 each) at the website I buy all my badminton things from. So potentially you could use a few of those.
