Points To Ponder When Buying A Badminton Set
Posted on 6 October, 2012
While playing badminton can be a breeze, choosing the right badminton set can be rather difficult, especially when you are ignorant as to what features to look for. First of all, before buying a badminton set, you need to ask yourself how serious you are into the sport. If playing badminton is simply a way of relaxation for an afternoon in the backyard or perhaps to foster a relationship, in other words mainly for fun, then your choice of selection will be different from selecting a set for professional play, like using it in competitions or tournaments. First of all, you have to decide the usage of the badminton set. Are you using it for playing at a club, school or for competitive purposes? A cheaper set would be sufficient if it is for school or casual play. The rackets recommended for such usage would be made of steel or light aluminum. But if you are playing in competitions or tournaments, then you will need a carbon-fiber racket which is the lightest of them all and yet maintain its strength. A complete set should consist of two to four rackets, some shuttlecocks and a net. Usually, it also comes with basic directions of the game. When buying a badminton set, do compare the pros and cons of the different offers available. You would not want to be landed with a set that you are unhappy with. Some of the pros worth considering are lightweight structures, easy assembly and quality build. As for the cons, do check carefully for weak net poles that can easily bend. Avoid warped rackets too and do not purchase a set of shuttlecocks that have broken feathers. Damaged shuttles will fly erratically though the air, making it impossible to have a good game. Also ensure that the badminton set you get comes with a carrying case. This would be handy for storage during the off-peak season. If you wish to stretch your money and get more items, go for combo sets. Generally, badminton set come together with other sports products. This is to make the purchase more appealing and attractive to the customers. Such combo sets, although seem like a good deal, may have nets and poles that are not of regulation size. So, do check on the sizes before you decide on a combo set, especially if you are serious into the game of badminton. |
