Anyone play Badminton?

Yep, played it for a long time. Played for Scotland a couple of times at under-19, then university in scottish and british unis :D. Recently just back from a torn ankle ligament so training again.

And yes, love it ;)
 
I play once a week with a few mates, not particularly seriously but simply because I enjoy it. Speedfreak plays badminton as well and very kindly gave me a few tips about how to improve my game.
 
Yep used to play a lot at uni, still try to make it along to the local club at least 2 or 3 times a month. Use a Nanospeed 6000
 
Funny this thread came up, I just bought a new racket today. There were discounts at sportsdirect and I got a HEAD titanium 5500. I have no idea if it's any good or not. I couldn't even try them properly since they were tagged.
 
I just remember it being extremely tiring which means essentially its a good sport to take up for fitness :)

I feel like playing it again :D
 
Used to play a lot at county level, but then had problems with stress fractures in my foot :(

So gave up, and havent really played in about 18months
 
Really played a lot of squash and badminton back when I was younger, seems that football has taken over now. Really hope to get back on court more over the summer to raise some fitness.
 
Used to play county level when I was younger, have the odd game now and then now. Seem to pull a muscle everytime I lunge playing badminton now though =/
 
Love badminton but it's not generally classed as a 'mans' sport and people generally think you're a bit gay if you play something like that.

I really can't see why as I love the sport ;)
 
play once a week absoltely awesome, have a good session twice a week, Have local tournaments with neighbours and local avenues and streets, really enjoying really

Hah some people have said that to me, but as soon as they play it they realise that a small court + a feather shuttle doesnt mean it's too easy.
 
Yeah great game, normally play twice a week and have been playing for the last 10 or so years I guess. Not sure off the top of my head what raquet I have but it is a Yonex Muscle power something one :)
 
Great game! I play 3 times a week at university. Played for the 2nd and 1st team for a while, but i`m not at a high standard really (got knocked out first round of nottingham :D)

Unfortunately I haven't really progressed my game too much as though i`m in my 6th year of uni, medicine hasn't given me too much time to play and then my fitness gets destroyed when exam time comes! Hopefully I can get back in to it in a few weeks! I have 2 muscle power 99s at the moment (thankfully no broken rackets for 2 years!!)
