I suck at badminton. I can barely hit the little birdie over the net.
So obviously, I haven't played on a team.

I LOVE badminton. Lots of people think it's lame, but I think it's fun. Our school doesn't have a team, though.

OH SAME HERE. I can play pretty well too. Probably the only sport I'm good at. We don't have a team either. Most of the kids think the game sucks.

We don't have a team here. But that's our next unit in gym. I think it's easier than tennis once you get the birdie over the net... it's easier to keep it going. It's been around for ages. My opa used play it with me and my brother when we were kids. Hah.

Our school doesn't have a team, though. i love it toooooo. we have a team for the middle and high. middle school's season is almost at an end, and so far they're undeatable!! i'm in the high, and season starts spring. very exciting. just like any sport, home games and away games. verrry fun. though people think its nerdy.  eh, it kinda is.  but i don't care, it's fun. and i'm good at it. last year i was second seat doubles. i'm good at drops, and my partner is great at slams, and we have a great way of moving around our side. i take front she does back, or sometimes we go side and side. its so much fun.

nope. we don't really have a team, but we do play it in gym. i think my class is playing it one of these quarters this year. i'm okay. sometimes im good and get the birdie over, sometimes i suck. i have to play it more this year to see how good i am. it is hard though to hit over a little light birdie.

TENNIS > BADMINTON And if I played badminton, it would mess up my tennis strokes. |

QUOTE(ashopely @ Oct 21 2006, 4:14 PM) and my friend is doing both, thinking it'll make her stronger. Well from a tennis to badminton perspective, yes, it would probably make her shots faster, such as smashes, but they might be out of bounds. From a badminton to tennis perspective, she'll screw up her wrist. I LOVE BADMINTON. I went to a camp summer before freshmen year, and I made the team freshmen year, playing doubles and singles. I like doubles better, but I'm apparently better at singles. It was a really fun experience by just meeting new people and improving my game throughout the season. I love the quickness of the game. It is the fastest racket sport. Fast reflexes, yo!A lot of people I know, especially the non-asians, are like, "Omg. Badminton? That's like not even a sport, and it's so easy!" Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can hit the ball over a tennis net and I can shoot a basketball successfully, but I'm not about to say any of those sports are easy. There's more to a game than meets the eye, so I hate it when people judge badminton like that. Y'all just wait until you play some real badminton players, then we'll see how "easy" it is.  Oh, I have a question. What are some catchy slogans to put on a badminton shirt? It's so difficult to think of a good one. Maybe I'm just not very creative. The other year, we had a shirt that said, "Drop it like it's hot", which was probably the best badminton slogan ever.

I did. I played competative...as in, kinda like the games between national players, but obviously, we weren't as hardcore.
But I sorta quit when came to college, and joined Crew instead. |

I think Badminton is awesome! Though, I have hardly played it. My cousins introduced me to it. They played it a lot when they lived in Indonesia. So much fun!

 I reject this reality and substitute it with my own! Group: Member Posts: 276 Joined: Dec 2006 Member No: 486,863 |
I played badminton for the first time when I was in 8th grade.
My friend from a different school incouraged me to play it when I went to high school so that when it was his school vrs mine we would be able to see each other at least two times every year. Still playing and planning on joining this year but I need to work out, my arm muscles are weak and I haven't improved much since my lack of using wrists when I do play. (it's all about the wrists, footwork and stamina in this sport!!) |

Is that so? How do you hold your racket?
My coach tells me we're suppose to be holding it like we're shaking hands.. Mmm.. You should try to hold it correctly.. I seem some intense games that my friend Darren played. He was holding his racket incorrectly most if not all the time so he had a blister around his thumb after a few singles games.. |
