Can anyone recommend a good website or shop to buy a badminton racket and shoes? I’m planning to join my friend for some casual games at a badminton court and am looking for entry-level options that are affordable yet decent in quality.
Any suggestions for a good starting point? I don’t want to spend too much initially, just in case we don’t stick with it long-term. I’m currently based in Christchurch.
Also, how do I compare different rackets and shoes to figure out which one would be the best choice for me? Any tips or advice on what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I got my racket and shoes from Rebel sport - for shoes I was just looking for non-marking indoor shoes. I don't remember the exact brand unfortunately.
You could alternatively go to the badminton centre you were planning on playing at and see whether they have a shop there. Even if the equipment they have there is out of your price range, the staff might be willing to point you in the right direction.
