Purchasing A Badminton Set: Features And Main Brands

Badminton is a fun, relaxed, and widely appealing backyard game. It is loved by people both you and old in many countries around the globe. Dating back to ancient Greece, with variations developing in India, Japan, and England, this is understandably a popular game still today.

If you want to buy a badminton set for you, your friends, and your family to enjoy in your own backyard or at parks and beaches, it’s good to know that you have a lot of selection to choose from.

Numerous brands offer badminton sets for sale today. They range in price, quality, and even the sorts of equipment that they include. No matter what set you good for, each should include, at the very minimum:

• A net (with appropriate poles/ropes for assembly)
• Two badminton racquets
• Two shuttles/birdies

However, if you’re willing to spend a little bit more, you can make sure the game is easy for everyone to play by purchasing a set that includes four racquets rather than just two. You may also want to get one with 3 or more birdies (or buy an extra set of birdies, just so you have some on hand if you lose one in a bush, to a dog, etc.)

Premium features would include things like:

• A carrying case for the whole set
• A case/bag for the net (to keep it from tangling or snagging)
• A case for the shuttles
• Covers for the racquets
• Rope to mark the edge of the court

There are a huge number of different manufacturers that make badminton sets for purchase. From high name brands to dollar store brands, the general rule of thumb in most things is that “you get what you pay for.” Spend what you’re comfortable based on how serious you are about the game and how much you plan on using it (and how long you want it to hold up).

It may help to know that the following brands have very good reputation for building solid and often very affordable badminton sets:

• Carlton
• Halex
• Park & Sun
• Franklin
• Spalding

So find a set that works for you, and go have fun!
