Customer Reviews

Excellent Illustrations, Comprehensive book

This is a fine book, giving detailed, colourful charts, pictures and diagrams to supplement the information given. This book covers every aspect of the game, its history, and playing in singles, doubles, or mixed, and how to apply strategy and shots to each one. This is more of a book for those new to badminton. The more seasoned players will find this book a little boring, which is why I give this only 4 stars. Otherwise, it's much better than other Badminton books out there.
