BADMINTON EQUIPMENT

The basic equipment we will need to play this sport is:

• Badminton Raquet: They can be made of different materials, and depending on them the result when we play may vary. Balance, weight or strings tension will make your shotts better or worse depending on what you choose. There are many combinations, and it is usual that players take some time to decide which is most suited for their playing style.

• Shuttlecock: There are two types of shuttlecocks - plastic and feathered shuttlecocks. Plastic ones are far more durable compared to the feathered, which are commonly used. However, plastic shuttlecocks are only recommended for beginners who are just starting out. This is because feathered ones are expensive and dont´t work properly if the wrong technique is used. In this way, plastic shuttlecocks are good for beginners when training, and very usual for young chilndren who play this sport for recreation.

• Shoes and Attire: If your are a starter, and probably you will be one if you are reading this blog, you will not need the specific shoes and attire used in Badminton competition. The recommendation we give is to have appropiate shoes, which are sport ones, and have confortable attire which allows you to move without being bothering.
