A fun game for racquet users. Reviews say...The racket is smaller than the tennis and badminton racket but boy, the speedminton birdie really takes off and goes far!!! The distance and the speed of the birdie makes this a fast paced action game and it plays more like tennis than badminton in terms of swing, speed, and reaction time. Barely used as family not interested. Can be fun but need racquet skills to enjoy.
