Never heard of Speedminton? Get with the program with the SKLZ Speedminton Super 8-player set. Speedminton combines tennis, racquetball, and badminton into a single fast-paced racquet game (up to 175 miles per hour--seriously) that challenges your hand-eye coordination and seriously boosts your physical conditioning. Even better, the sport doesn't require a court, so you can play a Speedminton game just about anywhere: at the park, on the beach, or even in the street. A great beginner sport that also lends itself to players with a competitive edge, Speedminton can even be played during the dark with the use of glow-in-the-dark Speedlights.
Speedminton--which can be played almost anywhere--is a fast-paced racquet game. |
This 8-player set--which is ideal for schools, institutions, and clubs--comes with eight Speedracquets (eight red and eight blue), along with 12 Match Speeders, 12 Fun Speeders, and 32 cones. Match Speeders are high-tech shuttlecocks designed to travel at speeds of up to 175 miles per hour and distances of up to 100 feet, with less wind resistance and a smaller, more streamlined basket than traditional badminton birds. This allows them to travel farther and along a more precise flight path. Match Speeders are built for competition play and are best suited to advanced players. Fun Speeders, by contrast, are better suited to shorter distances and recreational play, with a maximum speed of 160 miles per hour and a maximum distance of 80 feet. Finally, the set of 32 cones lets you establish four different Speedminton courts in any configuration you want. You can use the cones on any surface and adjust the size of the court to fit your space. To top if off, the Speedminton 8-player set comes with a storage bag.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I've never played speedminton before and I purchased this for a youth group camping outing. This was a hit! This is a game that anyone can pick up and have a fun time. It's great to have the 2 different speed shuttlecocks to adapt to different playing abilities. The setup is very simple and the equipment is very good quality. The racquets are sturdy, and the bag has ample room to store everything.
