Customer Review :
Nice set to play at home with
This set has really been a lot of fun. When we pulled it out to set it up it was tangled so had to work alittle to untangle but not a big deal. The rackets are ok. The tape came off two of the handles after a couple of games. Got new tape. We really enjoy the set. This set is worth the money. This is a very nice set. I like the aluminum poles. There easy to put together and are sturdy. Most other sets I looked at were plastic and flimsy. The net is also heavier than most we looked at and easy to put up. We liked that it came with the boundery line. That was the hardest part to set up.

Decent but not perfect
This product is bult a little better than others i have purchased but this product suffers from the same flaws I returned all the other defective items for.
In my case the wrapping on all 4 rackets started to come loose and unravel on first use and only a few weeks later I noticed the the net is alreay disintegrating.
I went against my own judgment but I was better off ordering a cheap set and replace it every year. This was was 100+ Bucks and am already experiencing the same issue.
By the cheaper set use it the rest-of the year, you will be better off.

Waste of Money!
I threw a small backyard party and ordered the set. Set up was fast, but the net sags in the middle about 8" below tournament level. I am not going pro, so I got over it.
Racket #1 lost its grip in game 2, then the shaft released from the handle towards the end of the day. Racket #2 lost its shaft the next day. Rackets #3 & #4 are barely holding on after 3 days of minimal adult usage.
Now I am searching Amazon for normal quality rackets, which will run $40 a piece minimum.
My advise: If you plan to play for over an hour, then buy separate net and rackets of intermediate quality. Otherwise this is a waste of money and you will be buying new rackets within a few days anyway.

Don't Buy! Don't Buy! After 2 minutes of play Racket String Broke
I bought this item after researching whole badminton set on the internet. After going through everyone review, I decided to purchase this set. As I got the Item, I set it up for try it out. As everyone mentioned Nets are good, I agree, but the Poles are not good, it does not really stands up good, after installing the item. We were trying out the Shuttlecock and Rackets. Very cheap construction, but I thought that lets play with these, since it has great review. But after 2 minutes of play one of the racket string broke. Shuttlecock are very cheap (If you really like this sets, please order Yonex Shuttlecocks nylon one, those will last long). I am a badminton player over 30 years, so I decided to have this for family fun, but it is really not good, and you will waste your money. I am returning the product within 1 day, even Amazon has 30 days of return policy.
Good: Nets Bad: Racket extremely poor construction, shuttlecock C-
Suggestion: Don't buy this set. Buy the net separately and get good rackets from Yonex or Dunlop. And for Shuttlecocks, depends of your choice.
Hopefully it will help buyer to decide.

No good
Spend the money and get decent feather shuttlecocks. These didnt last anymore than teh dollar store ones and didnt seem to have any better flight quality either.
Rating : 
Great Deal
I bought these for the kids who love playing on the driveway and without a net. They only had rackets and shuttlecocks (we call them birdies) from the $1 store. Alas all the old shuttlecocks met their demise, so I bought them two inexpensive packs from Amazon. These were the best of the two kinds I bought. Being plastic, they don't hold their shape, but the noses stay attached. And the price is great!

They are cheap but work great!!!
Let me start by saying that i'm not a pro.. i use them to play on picnics but they sure work fine.. im still using the first one.. been two months!!! The plastic is good.. it doesn't tear.. so its cheap but works great for me :)
Rating :     
worst birdies ever
these birdies had abslutely no durability. Played with them outside and all the rubber tops fall off in under 10 minutes. Went through a whole sleeve in a day. Absolutely not worth it if you are going to actually play badmitton. If your just gunna like hit them softly then i guess their alright

Pro Performance Speedminton 3pk Night Speeders
Customer Review :
no night performance
I love badminton - speedminton is not the same. First off these things FLY - no matter how easy you hit them they fly, so you need lots and lots of space. They might work great at the park or something but I haven't tried playing in a wide open space. Second is the "Night Speeders",they don't work. There is barely enough light to do anything with these things. The only good things about them is there is enough light to see them to pick them up once there on the ground. Great idea but it doesn't work. Save your money and play during the day.
Rating : 
Great fun at night
I just used my night speeder for the first time over the 4th of July holiday. We had a great time playing with it in the front yard. I found it to have the same response as the regular birds that come with the speedminton set. We could see the speeder with a glowstick really well all across the yard, even with the neighbor's spotlight shining on us. Yes, you need to get the glowsticks separately, but these can be found online in bulk, or at some surplus stores or fishing shops. The birds work really well and are very fast and responsive. They seem to take abuse a little better than regular shuttlecocks, and the kids loved playing with them at night.

NO LIGHT IN LIGHTED BIRDIE
NO LIGHTS INCLUDED! LIGHTS HAVE TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.SO BASICALLY YOU ARE GETTING A YELLOW BIRDIE.
Rating : 
Pretty cool
I don't know about you but I have gotten into some pretty intense games that have gone until no one could see anymore. Well these glow in the dark birdies have solved that problem. You can see them pretty well in the dark. And they are a little heavier than the normal birdies so they are also good to use on days when it is a little windy to play. I give them a thumbs up!
Rating :    
Night Speeders DO NOT Include Night Sticks
I purchased these and paid extra to have them overnighted for my daughters summer party. It's such a cool idea but it wasn't so cool when we received them they didn't have the lighting mechanism, so needless to say night badminton didn't occur.
I read very closely and carefully and even consulted with an amazon.com rep about the contents, they even said that it appears they come with it, so another order later...no light sticks.
I'm fairly new to Amazon and still learning all there is to offer, I wish I would have read the reviews on this item, had I done so I wouldn't have wasted my time and money ordering this, sounds like the glow sticks aren't even worth purchasing after all.
I think Amazon.com needs to edit the description of this item and make it clear that the NIGHT STICKS ARE NOT INCLUDED.
Hope this helps.

Speed: Medium (Normal altitude play). Color: White. Sold by half dozen.
Customer Review :
Good quality replacement for feathers, but not the best in the market yet !
Good quality shuttles, but tend to be a bit brittle after a good hitting. It should last you for atleast 10-15 games, if not more. It is CERTAINLY a good substitute for regular feather shuttle cocks - but not the best in the market yet !!! The shuttles tend to be more heavier than the regular Mavis 350 / 300 series, but are worth it's weight ;)
Rating :    
Good durable Shuttle
This is a very good shuttle if you are looking for durability. The flight is very near to a feather shuttle, but it falls just a bit short because there is nothing like the weight distribution of a feather shuttle from which you get better control and feel.
I would recommend this shuttle for beginner to intermediate level players who are looking for recreation, as well as, good value for the money they spend.
Rating :    
true flight
the first real shuttlecocks we have purchased. We had the ones that came with the backyard set. These provide a true stable flight, unless of course there is wind. A little bit slower in speed than I expected compared to the cheap plastic variety.
Rating :    
Not much change
They are just like the old ones, but more expensive. I'll suggest sticking to 300,350,500, whatever is the cheapest.
Rating :    
love them
got a badmitton set and these shuttles. best shuttles i have ever used. durable light and great to play with. still using the first one and cant believe its still in perfect condition. if i ever make it through them all i'll be back for more.

Salaun Badminton Advanced Family Game Kit
While looking for a Badmitten set for my grandchildren I found the price range to be quite wide. The reviews for the cheaper ones were mostly bad, but I did'nt want to spend $99. I decided to go for a mid-price one and found one with all good reviews. It turned out to be perfect. The set went up easily and seems to be holding up well. The rackets went through a rough week-end with my grandkids and we had no problems with any part of the set. At this point I recommend this game for anyone looking for their monies worth.
Rating :     
great set
I am very well pleased at the quality of the items in this set. The racquets are very nice and the 2 short handle racquets are perfect for my 6 and 7 year old girls. We have had so much fun with it when camping and in our yard. The only negative about this product are the plastic stakes. I used railroad tie nails that were purchased at a home improvement store because the plastic ones wouldn't go into our Pennsylvania clay soil. Other than that,don't waste your money on a cheaper set that will fall apart. No need to buy anything more expensive either, unless vanity is your thing.

Great Badminton Set
This is a great badminton set. My 10 year old plays with the junior racket. The net was easy to set up, but is somewhat fragile- the net ripped when I was straightening the poles one day- just be careful with it.
Rating :    
Great bidminton set for all beginners.
The set came with everything I needed. Aside from the fact that the vinyl bag is tearing from the handles and the net being flimsy and unreliable. However, I'm able to work with everything the set came with quite well. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to begin playing badminton with a full set of racquets withbirdies and a net with boundaries.
Rating :    
wonderful
didnt know which set to get but i couldn't be happier. well made - raquets are great kids and adults have used them and no problems so far. would recommend this set to everyone

Questions & Answers
Question : How can Badminton achieve the same popularity as basketball in America?
Badminton is the 2nd most popular sport played in the world. Yet in the United States very few Americans consider it anything more than a leisure backyard activity. When in fact it is the fastest racquet sport in existence and is also now an Oympic sport. Pro level badminton tournaments are played in many states at colleges and private clubs. I want badminton to become mainstream. Every high school and middle school should have a badminton team and competitons. Every park and recreation center should offer indoor badminton. No gym should be constructed without badminton lines on the floor and holes for net supports. How can that happen? How can badminton be as popular as basketball? And why isn't it listed in yahoo's list of sports!!!!!
Answer:
Hey! I LOVE LOVE LOVE badminton!! It's one of my favorite things to watch and play. I don't know, Americans just like very physical sports. You know, sports that involve damage of the brain and breaking of the neck. It's quite pathetic, if you think about it. I mean, those athletes are like ancient gladiators, destroying their bodies for superficial wealth and trapped in a life where ppl. can get mad at them for not running into the other guy hard enough.I don't know, I HOPE that Americans would start watching badminton.

Question : Choosing a sport?
I've been feeling miserable and flabby (depressed with low self-esteem) lately, and I've read that exercise can help you feel better emotionally as well as physically. I find repetitive exercises boring, so they're no good. I enjoy racquet sports, particularly badminton, and people have suggested other things like rock climbing or tai chi. Any suggestions for getting fit as well as having fun? There are lots of facilities and classes around here, so finding somewhere to go shouldn't be a problem. Thanks!
Answer:
Here this has nothing to do with the question but was wondering do you go to a uk school because if you do im in the same position as you i left school in 5th year and now at college but i hate it and thinking of going back and doing 6th year and thats like getting kept back a year.I seen your other question.

Question : What sports reigns superior among the racquet sports? and Why?
I can't think of specific guidelines at the moment, but I have seen tennis, badminton, table tennis, racquetball, and squash. In terms of complexity, tennis and badminton are at the top. In terms of intensity, I would think squash. In terms of hand-eye coordination and control, table tennis. But overall, I would choose badminton.
Answer:
I think tennis is superior because you can play of different types of court surfaces and play outdoors in various weather conditions. These factors make the sport more demanding.

Question : How do I fix a minor sports injury myself?
I have realized that whenever I play racquet sports (tennis and badminton) I hurt myself.First in tennis I had a really bad pain in my wrist, and I looked it up and found a solution. However, in my gym class, after playing badminton, i had a really annoying pain in my shoulder. More specifically, it was in the general area that is between my shoulder muscle and my neck. In fact the pain goes a little onto the area that surrounds it. So it almost feels as though its pain on that whole joint.The pain went away and since we played it again today it came back. With my wrist, I found that icing it, doing warm-up exercises, wrapping with an ace bandage, stretching, and daily exercising to build up the muscle keeps my wrist from being injured again, but now I need a solution for my arm area that can be similarly as effective. It was so bad today that I figured I should switch hands for play... I PHYSICALLY could use the arm, but didn't want to because the pain was bad enough to tell me no. Solutions?
Answer:
you are either over doing it or you may have some bone issues,,too many injuries,,It sounds like you have been in an accident or something sometime and that you are aggravating previous injuries, take some rest and let everything heal up

Question : Tennis vs Badminton & Squash?
Why does the racquet sports like badminton and squash not that lucrative as tennis. In term of prize money, a champion at tennis tournament e.g. Wimbledon get more than a million dollar while in badminton, e.g. All England the champion get as much as USD 16K and in squash tournament the winner just get around USD 10K. Why is it so much different? Is it because those sports does not as popular as tennis or just because it being dominated by Asian players?
Answer:
When it come to sports, I mean any sports, sponsorship is vital. The more popular the sports to the world, more money will be injected to them. We can see a very massive different between prize money in tennis with badminton and squash. A company most likely to give their money so that they can advertise their name and make everyone in the world see it. With tennis being aired from US to Brazil, Europe to Africa, Russia to Asia and Australia, big company or corporations are willing to spend big to advertise the name. In fact, we can see tennis players came from all around the world while in badminton and squash, most of them came from Asia, UK and Australia only.Popular mean more money...
