Badminton: Steps to Success
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
An excellent book on the sport of badminton. Easy to understand and follow. Great resource book for any high school p.e. teacher or coach. I recommend this book to all that are interested in the sport.
If you know the basics, it helps. Otherwise, it's confusing.

Badminton is probably one of the most underecognized sports in the western world, but it is immensely popular in Asian countries as well as several European nations. The game is not too difficult to learn, and this book does a good job in explaining the strokes. But the truth is that explaining how to play a game (through a book) is simply an impossible (or nearly impossible) task. The graphics do help, but the instructions can become a bit tedious. You'd do better to buy a video and simply study their actions and then read this book, rather than just buy the book by itself. NOTE: This is not your average picnic-style game. True badminton is fast-paced, incredibly explosive, and filled with trick shots and actions at every turn. One has to be in top physical condition with excellent hand-eye coordination and quick feet in order to play the game well.If you have these skills or have played the game before, grab this book. The basics will help.
