tennis is not expensive; any sport can be expensive

not handball. it's a ghetto sport.

handball wasnt invented for cheap.. it was invented for the hardness
although it is mostly older people playing

now raquetball, that sport is fun and tiring at the same time

Yonex for badminton racquets? Yonex ain't that bad in terms of tennis racquets. So I figure it's the same?

I think both are pretty difficult, although the badminton racquet is easier to swing just because it's lighter. :Q

Birdies fly at craaazzzzy speeds!

Yonex for sure...I don't know if Prince still makes badmington racquets. I picked up like 4 graphite Prince badmington racquets for like $10 at Big Lots many years ago. They were ridiculously lightweight.

How much should those cost? I've seen any where from $20 to $100...

Are there any good shuttlecocks? I've destroyed a couple cheap ones I've got :(

I've used Yonex for a while. Depending on your level of play, you shouldn't spend too much money for racquets. There are other good racquet brands like Carlton, Yang Yang, Pro Kennex to name a few. As for shuttlecocks, if you can find some shuttles that cost about 12 dollars a tube, those are pretty decent.

Badminton is great, but I hate the cheap racquets where the shuttlecock goes right through the strings. :|

a good raquet will run you $160 at least.
