In this study, we logically and scientifically clarify psychological estimations of badminton players on badminton rackets which influence on their performance. Experiments are composed of two parts in this study. Evaluation trees are hierarchical constructions which compose the psychological estimation. At first experiments, we took questionnaires of evaluation grid method to get evaluation trees of badminton rackets. And then we extracted words to make questionnaires of SD method for second experiments. At second experiment, we took questionnaires of SD method and got evaluation indexes of psychology. We took analyses of radar chart, cluster analyses and principal component analyses to clarify psychological estimations. As a result of analysis of radar chart, personal preferences have been charted. As a result of cluster analysis, subjects have been sorted into four groups by their tendencies. And as a result of principal component analysis, subjects have been sorted into four groups from a different perspective with plot of first and second principal component score. In addition, tendency of questionnaires have been shown by plot of first and second principal component loading. Those results have clarified psychological estimations on badminton rackets.
