Customer Reviews
lots of fun but shoddy quality
This is a great game. I've been playing regular badminton for a long time and this is definitely much more fun and a better cardio workout. The only drawback is poor workmanship of the rackets. The plastic tape covering the handles started to come loose after only a few games and soon came off completely, turning the racket handles into a gluey mess. I fixed the problem by removing the original tape and replacing it with the replacement tape for tennis rackets.
It's ok but not something I'd look forward to playing
I played this at a friend's home at an afternoon get together. About the most I can say for it is that "it's something to do", on par with playing horseshoes. If I had my choice I'd much prefer to play tennis, racketball or even badminton. That said, Speedminton has the advantage of being easy to set up since you don't need a net and can use the cones provided to make your own court. But if you have any wind whatsoever the game quickly becomes unplayable (the weight ring is virtually useless). The birdies (speeders) don't last long especially if you don't hit them exactly square on the top (similar to badminton birdies). Overall, not something I'd look forward to playing as a sport, though I could tolerate it at a windless picnic.
Satisfied
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.
AWESOME
Some friends and I asked our Intramural department to purchase two sets of Speedminton. If you are not sure what Speedminton is, it is a combination of tennis, racketball, and badminton. We played for the first time two days ago and played for almost 2 hours. It was a great workout and easy to pick up if you have played any of the sports mentioned above. Yesterday, we had a few more classmates playing and we were able to play doubles. The doubles matches were not as intense as singles, but overall a great great game. The Pro Performance set is better quality than the Speedminton Bag. The Pro set comes with higher quality rackets. I would advise purchasing extra speeders. The match speeders are what we play with and have already went through one speeder.
While we were playing, numerous faculty and students asked about the game and we are spreading the word about this new fun game! Enjoy!
Speedminton for the family
I purchased speedminton on the advice of a friend. I hadn't played badminton since I was a kid, but after watching the video on the Speedminton website, I was sold! And, it is as fun as it shows. My family brings it in the handy case to events, picnics, waiting for the drive-in, just hanging out at home. Great fun, and helps increase hand/eye coordination.
