 A little over-advertized Mar 27, 2006
By Lux Lucis
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 Apr 17, 2006
By C. Corwin
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.

Great equipment Jan 09, 2007
By A. Mattos
We tried the Speedminton game over the holidays and thought it was lots of fun. Unlike badminton, the birdie is more sturdy and flies more accurately. The racquets are more like racquetball racquets and are also very sturdy. We were impressed that we could play the game at the very breezy beachside, with a few minor adjustments to our swing. Also, since the racquets are not too heavy, there was no arm fatigue. We've played Smashball at the beach for years, and when we picked up those paddles to play (after playing Speedminton) we thought they felt heavy and awkward. We will have years of fun with this game.

 lots of fun but shoddy quality Jan 19, 2009
By Yury
This is a great game. I've been playing regular badminton for a long time and this is definitely much more fun and a better cardio workout. The only drawback is poor workmanship of the rackets. The plastic tape covering the handles started to come loose after only a few games and soon came off completely, turning the racket handles into a gluey mess. I fixed the problem by removing the original tape and replacing it with the replacement tape for tennis rackets.

Good Fun, Birdies fall apart. Jun 07, 2006
By N. Kerrick
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.
