Mature (52) newbie. Have played recreational badminton before (many years ago). Just returned to playing as a means to getting fitter and keeping the weight down!

My wife and I "play" around 3 to 4 times a week for about 90 minutes each time. Reading books and watching endless coaching videos we are trying to improve our playing – just for our enjoyment and to make sure that we get the most out of it. We may look to join a club as our ability increases. Looking forward to picking up a few tips and ideas on here. Have enjoyed reading Paul's articles on racquets etc. So, see you around on the forum.

Regards

John

Hi John,

I used to play a computer game called Roadrash back in the day, I seem to remember being able to hit fellow racers with baseball bats!

I would heartily recommend you join a club rather than waiting to get better first. Reason being that you will improve rapidly by playing a wide range of people in a club situation. Look for one that welcomes beginners and give it a go, the social side of playing is just as fun as the actual playing.

Roadrash, I remember that game, that was really good! Ah that takes me back to the good old days!

 

I would second everything Rob has just said, it's a bit like you might learn a lot at university, but you learn a hell of a lot more on work experience and stuff you wouldn't learn at university (if you get my point Confused). Oh, and work experience is more fun too! Wink

 

Joining a club would and should benifit you more than try to get better first. As long as you don't go to a club that's deadly serious as this might put you off joining a club, but you will find a club that you like so keep looking. Having fun is the most important part of badminton! Smile

 

I'm off now, to Google Roadrash and re-live my childhood! Laugh
