Product Description
Speedminton, the newest high-energy sport, offers fun for every age and skill level. It sets up easily indoors or out on every type of surface. Play Speedminton without a net, you can even play in the dark.
Product Description
Speedminton, a new dimension in racquet sports, combines tennis, badminton, and racquetball (and is endorsed by 2006 U.S. Open Champion Maria Sharapova). Easy to learn for beginners, many advanced players enjoy the complexity involved in its mastery. This game can be played anywhere by using the dimensions of a tennis court (although you don't need a net to play). Fun and portable like badminton yet Speedminton is an aerobic and competitive sport like racquetball and a lot of fun for the whole family. Three different Speeders allow for different types of play: - Fun Speeder can be used by beginners or for recreational volleys on the beach or in a park.
- Match Speeder is for fast and competitive play.
- Night Speeder is modified so that a Speedlight can be inserted at the base.
The set includes: - Two Speedracquets made of high-quality, extruded aluminum for maximum durability
- Three Speeders made from patented, aerodynamic materials, each for a different kind of play
- Four Speedlights for up to three hours of after-dark play
- One Speedbag for carrying portability
- One Wind Ring for all-weather play
- Eight cones for court markers
How to Play Speedminton
Freestyle
There are no court, no rules, and no limits. From a recreational game at the beach to an exciting volley in total darkness, you can just play without keeping score. If it's windy, simply snap a wind ring onto the Speeder for added stability. Outdoor Competition
Use Easy Courts to set up a game at the beach or on grassy fields. You can also use cones to turn any open space or a tennis court into two Speed Courts. Indoor Competition
You can easily set up a game at any gym or indoor tennis court. No net is required--just mark your boundaries with the Easy Court or cones and you're ready to play. Night Play
The Night Speeder makes it possible to play at night. Just press a Speedlight into the clear Night Speeder head to let it glow in the dark (they glow 2-3 hours). As shooting stars cross the night sky, you'll only see the Night Speeder. Rules
A game is played to 16 points. Serve from the center of your playing field and players alternate service every three points. Play best-of-five to win a match.

 Love it! August 17, 2008

My familiy has a tradition of playing badminton every summer and we always have a hard time finding shuttlecocks that are durable and able to actually reach their intended destination. This game has solved all our problems with flight and durability and now we can even play after dark! My son is a big man and very strong and he has not managed to kill a raquet or shuttlecock yet! I have put forth the suggestion to the family that we need to try this some night this winter in the snow....

This is a great game for children (and adults)...especially if there is any wind! Also good for traveling since a net is not necessary.
Great fun! July 12, 2008

This is the most fun! We have enjoyed badminton and ping pong over the years and this is just as fun. It's a little easier for the grandkids, too.
 Lots of fun June 28, 2008

Speedminton is a great version of badminton. No net is needed and with the speedlights it is even more fun to play in the dark. All ages can enjoy this outdoor activity. It also is a nice gift to give to outdoor game players.Pro Performance Speedminton Fun Set

I haven't personally seen this product because it was sent as a gift to my 10-year-old grandson. He is an only child raised by his mother, a full-time college student. Outdoor active play is almost non-existant for the two together. However, this actually got them playing and BOTH really enjoyed it. My daughter went so far as to say she'd enjoy more of it. They plan to bring the game along when they visit this summer. I did not rate this the full five because I have not personally tried it....YET.
