Franklin Sports Badminton - Family

This set came with everything one needs for backyard badminton. Though not "pro" quality, it is nonetheless *good* quality. I wish that the shuttlecocks were protectively packaged since the plastic feathers got warped -- which affected the hangtime and flight path. Though nothing that a hair dryer and water glass can't straighten out.Whether one is serious about the game or simply futzing about with friends, this is a great set to have on hand.

This is a good set. I got the Professional as it has aluminum poles. The net took a little time to get up and takes at least two people, but is really good. My kids and I love playing. Great set overall. I would recommend.

This was nice product but but the net dis not last long it broke after a while.but the badmintons are great

I have had this set about a year. We have used it probably 4 times for backyard parties with HS age kids. Most recently my daughter’s entire swim team.The set is easy to setup, includes official measurements and rules. Customer service at Franklin is outstanding. I broke one of the net poles trying to clean mud out of it. Emailed them and received an immediate reply for a replacement part.I made a couple cheap upgrades, i wrapped the plastic handles with racquet grip tape and purchased a nylon storage bag (made for raquets) that’s about the same size as the box the set shipped in.Anyway, if your kids express interest in badminton after PE class or a friends party, this one won’t break your budget. If you are more serious there are higher quality and more durable sets out there.

Poles are very durable. Plastic kinda flimsy. Was able to use it once for a community event and that was it after that. Net not very easy to keep on

It’s a very nice set although I haven’t used yet but it’s a great product at a good price.

Very disapointed in this set. The shuttlecocks were jammed into a plastic bag and so distorted we couldn't use them. On top of that, one of the poles is missing the drilled hole (see photo with and without the hole) needed to connect to another pole so it's not at all sturdy. The top of the net is difficult to keep tight and the instructions are terrible. Do not buy this set.

The media could not be loaded. The Badminton set is good, but if you do a few things to reinforce the Poles, it works great. Like a lot of reviewers noted, the poles can and will break if you force them in the ground. I reinforced the poles by installing 4 feet of 1/2 Inch PVC on the inside of each of the Poles. You hammer the PVC Pipe six inches in the ground and place the Poles over it. It's a cheap upgrade that goes a long way in keeping the poles lasting and durable. Easy to put up and easy to put away. I also attached a video. Like other reviewers mentioned, get a set of good Birdies. Got the LED Birdies and they work and look great. The Rackets are fine, unless you go out of your way to break them. It's not Tennis, it's Badminton. Have fun.
