The two Speedminton sets came on time and well packed. We won't use them until Thanksgiving, when the family gathers, but are looking forward to a fun time.

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!
I think this is a great set for novice badminton players. It's easy to set up, even for the "mechanically challenged". The only thing you're going to want to do eventually, is get sturdier shuttlecocks. These won't stand up to the limitless power of 7 and 4 year old boys for very long!

I've been using one of these the last several weeks playing many games and hitting hard and still it's in good condition. Good price and solid. I like the cork tip vs the plastic tip on some of the others. I recommend using a wind ring along with it. At one point the blue plastic strip came off but it's still fully functional so it doesn't really matter. If you have problems breaking your shuttlecock try these!
The grip on the racquet I bought was way too slippery (I almost dropped it a few times), so I bought this. It was fairly easy to apply and it is very soft and squishy (and grippy). The problem with it, though, is that it is pretty thick, so after application your grip is much bigger. It also takes out some of the feel and vibrations. So far I haven't even come close to dropping my racquet.
Delivery was fast. Net good quality. Rackets medium quality. Shuttle-cocks very cheap quality. I suggest that you automatically buy some spare shuttle cocks. I have used the set for about 3 weeks and 1 racket has broke, not because of abuse, but because of aggressive playing time.
We got a badminton set for summer - a couple of shuttlecocks came with the set and we went thru those fast. Also, we wanted colored ones since the white were hard to see against the sky. These arrived immediately and are perfect. This is a real value and quick, quick delivery.

Oh how many badminton rackets I have thrown away over the years; was certain they were all just junk. Nothing more frustrating than to be having a nice volley and Bam! the shuttlecock gets stuck in the webbing of the racket. Or worse, the holes become so big it goes right through! I finally bought two of these rackets and my daughter and I are having a blast playing the game. We actually tire out BEFORE the racket breaks! Good price too.
i purchased the pro performance speedminton speeders. i have been playing badminton for 30 years and i'm acustomed to the normal amount of swing needed to volly a shuttlecock. these speeders are impossible to play with. if you hit it with a minimal amount of swing, it goes a mile. nice idea to be able to play badminton in the dark, but with these you need a badminton court the size of a football field. (i'm not kidding, the first one is on my two story roof.) i'm going to try and drill some holes in them to lighten them up so you might actually be able to play with them. also the light sticks are very small and are not very bright. if you love badminton as much as i do, save your money and play during the day.
