Customer Reviews

A little over-advertized
The game is definitely fun, especially if you play it on a tennis court. The birdie is smaller and flies faster than in traditional badminton games. Hitting the birdie and directing it to the right spot is easier than I anticipated, especially considering the small size of the racket. Once the game gets going, the enjoyment level is fairly high, but falls short of the promised thrill in the product promo texts. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that, in spite of all the hype and promises, the game is far from being wind resistant. A little better than badminton, but still can be ruined by anything stronger than a breeze. The "wind ring" is ineffective, feels more like a placebo.

Overall, if you paid under $30 for this set, you probably are going to get your money's worth out of playing it. Try it, and expect it to be a fast version of badminton.

great fun
This is truly a fun family game. All ages can easily play together -- we were playing two on two with 9 and 10 year olds against adults. It is worth every penny and I love that you can play it anywhere.

One potential problem I see is the cone markers. I have an older version that has sand bags connected by strings so your court is always the correct size, so I can't say how easy the cones are to set up in the right dimensions. I don't know why they got rid of the sand bags and strings -- this was a great way to set up the court so you know exactly where the inbound line is.

Overall -- hours of fun for the whole family.

Good Fun, Birdies fall apart.
We opened the set and started out great, But in one Afternoon all of the Birdies or "Speeders" fell apart. I have emailed the manufacturer and hopefuly they will come up with a tougher design.
