Well worth the extra moneyAugust 3, 2008 This item was purchased based on the positive existing reviews. It may be a little more pricey but instructions very clear and very easy to assemble. Unlike the less expensive sets that I've returned because they just didn't make sense.
better than cheap set, but too expensive for what it isJuly 20, 2008 I ordered this set recently and have played with it several times now. While the poles are sturdy enough, and certainly more robust that what is found in cheaper sets, the overall package is hardly worth the money in absolute terms. I could not find a better set in my online and b&m search, so I guess I should be happy with a functional product. Considering the cost of materials, I would say this should be half or one third the price.
The racquets are average, with hard plastic grips. Advantage here is that the grip wrap won't come off. Disadvantage is that the grips are slick when wet and not very comfortable.
Badminton Pro SetJuly 18, 2008 Great badminton set. Very sturdy and easy to set up, except for the boundary lines - that was a little confusing. I highly recommend this set!!

This set is very easy to set up and the poles are substantially heavier than less expensive badminton sets. However, one of the rackets broke the very first time we played. Overall, I do not feel it's worth the extra money. A less expensive set will work just as well.
I should have listened to other reviewersJuly 4, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I ordered this more expensive set because I wanted a quality product. First thing I opened was a racquet and noticed it had broken strings. I looked through the plastic of the others and found another racquet with broken strings. The poles and net looked very sturdy but I was so disgusted at the poor quality control I packed it immediately back up to return it. I can buy better racquets and birdies at my local Big 5 for a lot less money. What's up with this company? I gave it one star because it got here in two days as promised - that was probably Amazon's doing though and now I'm out the extra shipping too!
