[Laughsalot]

[-sincerely]

^
lmfao.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

truee. but i always get pains because i refuse to correctly hold the racket.

are you the type that holds the racket so far down the wrist that it makes you bruise

[-sincerely]

OUCH.NO.
when i hold it, i keep my pointer finger up. it gives me a bit more power, but hurts in the long run.

That's.... not good. I did it once when I was a beginner and I like stunned by index finger for a few seconds. I never did it again.

At the end of the season last year, I started to receive pain in the area between my index finger and my thumb. I don't know exactly what it was, but it was a muscle of some sort of another I think? Supposedly, it was because I gripped my racket too tightly. Anyways, I started to pad/wrap my hand, and that really helped. I'm not sure if there's an easy solution like that for you. You kind of just have to change it by yourself, as difficult as that is.

badminton is fun! we played in pe.

[*x1227x*]

haha i remember playing badminton! i dont exactly play it anymore which sucks.

[Jeng]

No but in gym class, we'd play against other students. :D.

[Blaqheartedstar]

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

same here

its a good game although i want to play it at school i'm stuck to volley ball which is a good sport too and i'm getting much better (after four years of playing the sport)...

[*My Cinderella.*]

This game gets me frustrated, I always hit the birdie over the roof.

[Blaqheartedstar]

where do u play? how hard do u hit it?
my timing is always bad to play outside... i play with my brother at the park and when we play its windy so we play with a birdie that has a large "nose" makes it weight more... but when we lose that we both are running all over the place

Same here. It's pretty fun but I always get fustrated.

[-sincerely]

in the gym at school. or some other school. depending if it's home or away.
and i usually drop it, and my partner slams it. so yeah...

[secretwish]

I love to play badminton even if people say its lame :D
It's much less aggressive than tennis. I can't wait to play in PE starting next week.

[misoshiru]

^ it's actually more strenuous than tennis. If you ever train, you'd know. I have friends who play both tennis and badminton, and they say that badminton is so much tougher.

Badminton is tougher because you get a better cardio workout (running) since it is the fastest racket sport. Tennis is slower, but needs more power behind each swing. So it's a matter of endurance for each. Oh yeah, and badminton has more of a variety of shots, which take a while to master while you can only do basically one type of "shot" with the ball being able to hit the floor and all in tennis. In addition, badminton has a smaller racket, which demands a better hand-eye coordination.

[mytangerine]

i play tennis a ton & when i first tried badminton i was horrible! cuz like in tennis you NEVER use your wrist & in badminton it's all wrist i guess? soo i was pretty bad. but now; after doing it in PE i have improved. luckily i can pick up on sports pretty fast so i don't have to embarrass myself.

[michellerrific]

I can do both. We're doing a badminton unit for P.E. right now and I like it. I like tennis too though but I don't see any one of them much more difficult than the other.

[*kryogenix*]

they're not kidding when they call it badminton. in fact, bad is an understatement. it would be better called "damn, this shit is f**king retardedminton."

[alysaphobia]

Badminton is hardcore.
I used to be one of those people who thought it was super lame, but I recently got the oppurtunity to watch a friend's badminton game against another school, and holy crap- it's INTENSE. Your reflexes have to be amazing, and I imagine it's gotta be tough to learn all the different swing techniques... from under the birdie, next to the birdie, over the birdie, etc...

I wish I was good at badminton.

[gelionie]

I haven't been on a team but I quite like playing badminton. :)

[HakunaMatata]

I never understood when people claimed that "badminton's not a sport". Even from nobody telling me that it was one, I could tell when I was younger just from watching people that it required a hell of a lot more work than normal. And plus, our badminton team runs more than any other sport, even football.

[loveylovely]

You have a badminton team at your school? That sounds like so much fun. Haha.

I suck at badminton, though. I can never get to it in time to hit it.

[*JoanOfArc*]

Summer is finally here. Which means, more time to practice!
