Das Book vas sehr tkody An informative book for beginners and advance players
This book by Donald C. Paup and Bo Fernhall covers everything you need to know about the game of badminton. The illustrations and the explanations in this book are very informative. From the the basic drills, to strategies in badminton, this book is a must for any badminton ethusiast. For the beginners, this book tackles the essential basics of the game like proper hand grips, basic footworks, how to execute the net shots (clears,drives,smashes,drops), basic strategies for doubles and single players. For the advance player, this book will help you review some of the basics because I believe that any player should always review his or her basic skills in order to be a better player and go on to the next level of play. This book will also help advance players to plan strategies and tactics in play. ... Read more

Great book
This book does a great job of teaching basic skills and strategies and giving a good overview of philosiphy of the game.the instructions are very clear and the pictures show the exact sequence of movements for proper performance of skills.This book also features drills for improving techniques and conditioning as well as basic strength and flexibility training information.for the true beginner, this book also contains the IBF rules (at the time-setting score needs update).This book took me from a terrible player with no prior knowledge of the game, to an outstanding player. Highly reccomended for beginner to intermediate recreational or competitive player. ... Read more

disappointed
I don't understand why the book deserved 5 stars (that misled my purchase), I think that it deserves 2 at most. Badminton (Skills of the game) reveiw
From the outset, this book plunges you deep into the wonderful world that is badminton. Mark Golds managed to teach me everything there is to know about the sport, from attacking serves to smashes. Accept no substitute, Mark - former England player - teaches in a way which would get begginers into the game, but at the same time has a learning curve steep enough for experienced players to add tremedously to their game. I now know why badminton is an Olympic sport, and more to the point, what a great game it is. If you are thinking of picking up a raquet for the first time, or are closer to forever hanging it up, this book is a perfect suitor for you, and in my opinion definately deserves the coverted five stars! ...

Great for drills, but useless for strategy
I bought this book hoping it would help me learn skills and tactics that would make me a better badminton player, but was really disappointed.This book has dozens of various drills that would probably have a positive effect on most persons' games if:(1) the reader had at least five hours a week of spare time to devote to the practice drills; (2)the reader has a partner willing to spend those five hours working on the drills; and (3) the reader can find a place to practice for those five hours.Given that most people (in N. America at least) probably have only a few hours a week available for either playing or court space (which they would like to use for playing rather than practice in any event), it does not become feasible to bother with the various drills that take up the majority of space in this book. If you know the basics, it helps. Otherwise, it's confusing.
Badminton is probably one of the most underecognized sports in the westernworld, but it is immensely popular in Asian countries as well as severalEuropean nations. Read more
