Badminton - General Reviews

Badminton is a very fast-paced sport, which keeps you moving about a lot and keeps you fit! There are many different rackets you can buy and a few good makes include Wilson, Prince and Carlton. Badminton rackets are very much different to tennis ones. They have an extended thin bit, usually made of aluminium rather than a triangle shape leading up ...  Read the complete review

Many moons ago when I was a kid, my brother and I used to spend the days during the school holidays with our grandparents as our parents were both out at work. During these times, we would often join them when they went to play badminton with a group of their friends, most of whom were saga members. At the time we played a lot of ...  Read the complete review

I have now been playing badminton for about 25 years. It is a great game which keeps you fit. It is however quite strenuous on certain areas of the body. Many badminton players get knee injuries, sprained or twisted ankles, and tennis elbow, just to mention a few. When I was in my teens I trained and played at county level, but then at Uni I ...  Read the complete review

I do not often write 'general' reviews so for me this is a little different and hopefully, I will do it justice. I first began playing badminton about 10 years ago, maybe once a fortnight, with a colleague from work. She was, in retrospect, not as good as I thought she was, but was much better than I was at the time, invariably we ...  Read the complete review

I was introduced to the game by my boyfriend. He has been playing since childhood and after spending many hours watching the game I felt that I knew enough to take it up myself. Either that or a life of cold sports hall floors watching. I have now been playing for just under five years. When I first started it was much harder than it ...  Read the complete review

I only start to play badminton regularly when I entered the university. Unlike Malaysia where I came from, badminton is not on the top list of sports in UK. This is probably why I can play more here than in Malaysia.? As, before in Malaysia, it may not be easy to compete with other students to play in the courts in school. Although it's ...  Read the complete review

For most people Badminton is a game they play for a short while at school and then forget about, it rarely gets any television coverage and you never read about it in the newspapers. However it can be an extremely exciting sport to both watch and participate in which incorporates accuracy, power, skill and fitness. History There ...  Read the complete review

One of the best things about badminton is how easy it is to gte into - in terms of playing and getting to play. Any decent leisure centre will hav badminto courts that you can hire. Expect to pay about five pounds for a session. If you play doubles - four people on the court, this cost becomes very small. All you need to wear is ...  Read the complete review

I do not know! Badminton is i have found, one of the most exciting and excillerating sport to play, and I play alot of different sports. Ok, so it has not got the contact of rugby, or the apparent skills of football. But Badminton really can be alot more exciting to watch than most people really think. I have been playing badminton for ...  Read the complete review

Badminton, very often the forgotten racquet sport is actually one of the best. After Simon Archer and Jo Goodes success in the Olympic Games surely more people should be interested but at my club in Belfast we have had no new members at all. Why? Because badminton doesn't get the coverage on TV it deserves. It's not a wonder we're ...  Read the complete review

Badminton has been reported over the last 5 years to be a sport in decline, yet when you look at sports centres everywhere you go, they all have Badders courts painted in the main hall and various clusters of players thrashing a shuttle around for fun. (And why not eh?!) I beleive that badminton is gradually adopting an elitist attitude. ...  Read the complete review

Badminton is the only sport I know that can be enjoyed by absolutely everyone, from rank beginner to world-class athlete. I first took up Badminton around 1968. I joined the Badminton section of the company for which I then worked. They played in a hall belonging to a church in London, near Ludgate Circus. It was quite a hike each ...  Read the complete review

Not many people appreciate Badminton but it is the fastest racquet sport in the world, faster than tennis and squash. It is an easy sport to take up but the rules take a little longer to learn. Once you have passed the beginner stages of just hitting the shuttlecock the game becomes a lot harder, you are constantly think ahead, and running in ...  Read the complete review

Why is it that badminton is so much more fun than tennis? It is such a light-hearted game, maybe because the racquet and shuttlecocks aren't as heavy as tennis rackets and balls. Most people can pick up badminton without having to learn difficult strokes and positions. It's a lively game and keeps you on your toes ...  Read the complete review

This game is not seen as an exciting or enjoyable sport, but if you play it you will know that it is just like every sport. I am a student at St Andrews University and am a member of the Badminton Club. Over the years I have seen and played against many great players. From my experiences I have picked up a few things that have improved ...  Read the complete review
