Not too good at football though.

I used to play badminton in high school during physical education. Toward the end of the year, I was banned from playing badminton because I would intentionally hit the shuttlecock as far as I could to make the other team go fetch it.

My equipment:

Racket: K-Mart $1.25
Shoes & Clothes: Wal-Mart $3.29 (Black Friday!)
Shuttlecocks: Ebay $1.65

And I would still thrash you on the court!
You sound like a Japanese corporate golfer! All the gear, but no idea mate!

I say this calls for BHW's first badminton-off.

Haha, I've played singles at a national level, I worked my way up with the equipment throughout two years of training on and off, I doubt you'd beat me, I'd use a broken racquet and still win but like you said, some folks purchase gear like this and don't know how to use it to its full extent...

Hahaha, that's allowed as long as its within the zones of the court I'm sure you must have enjoyed it right?

I've played tennis before, it's really good, it took me a long time to learn my serve though!

Pretty nice! I guess a bit like any other racket driven sport, perhaps a bit similar to tennis but easier. This is what my parents used to play when they first met.
