Speedminton Fun Set

Great Product. I was looking for a fun activity to play with my friends in the park and I found it. I'm a beginner badminton player and was grateful for the larger area of the racket. After 10 minutes of practicing, we were able to maintain the birdie in the air and have a good game. Many kids were attracted to our game because the birdie actually whistles when it travels in the air. I used the glow in the dark insert after sunset. Just like the glow in the dark necklaces, I opened these inserts and gave it a good crack-n-shake until I saw the green glow color. The insert fits perfectly into the center of the birdie and stays in place. I also noticed the birdie was a bit heavier and added some weight. Of course you may not notice until you hit it. We were able to make the birdie travel longer distances. We had light breezes during our game and the birdie maintained course when it had the insert. If the insert is removed, then the birdie has a tendency to be affected by the wind. You should also note that when the insert is in, the birdie will not whistle. The rackets are good quality. We had a good grip on the racket and the rackets left no residue. Other rackets shed some of that handle material but I was happy this set maintains its quality. We learned quickly, had good game rounds, and lots of memorable laughs. Overall, I enjoyed this product and recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun and feel accomplished for keeping the birdie in the air for an extended amount of time.
