Hi!

Search button did not give me any posts with that topic, so I hope you have not been discussing about that yet.

Do you know speedminton? http://www.speedminton.ch/Home.6.0.html Has anyone tried this? I do play tennis and badminton, so I think this could be fun.

There is just one problem, I don't know how heavy these speeders are... It is quite windy here where we live and I don't want to buy whole set and than could not use it because of wind

Any tips would be great. Thanks.

weirdly I saw someone playing this the other day in the park, and a friend explained it was speedminton, apparently it IS better in the wind. And its really good fun, according to my friend, cannot speak from personal experience!

It is designed specifically so that it is fast, zippy and can be used in the wind.

No worries on that front.

i bought a set at athleticum on a whim and it's a good garden/bbq party game. the shuttlecocks are smaller and heavier so they won't be carried by the wind as much. i like to get with a strong friend in an open field and just crank it as high and hard as we can. the ONLY problem is that its difficult to play in high sun due to the fact that you are always looking UP.

Thanks, y'all. Now I know what to get for my other half's birthday.

According to the link you provided it says that in really heavy wind you can attach a speed ring onto the speeder and its no problem then.

This sport sounds awesome though

Yes, I know about that ring but I did not know if that helps, because here is really very windy.

Well, we will buy this and try it.

Btw, argus, (about birthday ideas): I hope my husband will buy speedminton set for my birthday. Hope he is reading this, otherwise I must take another approach

Ok, it is me again...

I have not bought the speedmiton set yet as I don't have the bithday yet But, yesterday I saw this: http://www.aldi-suisse.ch/ch/html/of...6_DEU_HTML.htm

It looks like speedminton, don't you think? It is way cheaper than the original set, but I think for the begginers should be ok?

What do you think?

Thanks in advance.
