FAQ
What is a badminton set?
A typical badminton set includes a few shuttlecocks, and four badminton racquets. Sets hold the most important pieces of equipment needed to play badminton, and therefore some sets stop here. More expensive, full sets, will also include one regulation badminton net. This will come with both the actual netting and the hardware needed to stand the netting up.
Does Walmart sell badminton sets?
Yes, Walmart does in fact sell a wide variety of badminton sets. Walmart sells badminton sets from all different brands including some of their best sellers like EastPoint Sports and Franklin Sports. Because different sets can include everything from just the racquets to the large netting, the prices of these sets can range from as little as $12 to over $500.
Are volleyball and badminton nets the same?
Badminton and volleyball nets are actually very different, and that makes it very difficult to use one or the other net for the opposing sport. The main difference between the two nets is the sizing. A volleyball net is typically over 30 feet long, and therefore much longer than a typical 40 foot long badminton net.
How many rackets come in one set?
Although it depends on the set you decide to purchase, in the majority of standard badminton sets, you will find four separate rackets that come with it. The main reason for this number is that the majority of badminton games are played with four players. Most standard badminton games will have either two or four players, but any amount of individuals can play as long as everyone has a racket. Extra rackets can also be bought individually at either a sports store or online. In addition to these four rackets, a typical set will consist of two shuttlecocks, in case one gets lost.
