Review on 🏸 Zume Games Portable Badminton Set for Easy Setup on Any Surface – No Tools or Stakes Needed! by Tommie Lawson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Basically a good idea for tennis and racquets

I bought two of these, one as a gift and one for myself. The gift I gave my friend broke on first use and mine is already badly worn around the retractable arms where they connect to the base on first use. I love how easy it is to install but difficult to remove. Areas where the retractable net arms snap into the base make it difficult to insert the ends of the net sleeves into the holes in the base, and when removing the spring clips on both sets are almost non-existent due to the high pressure required to release the retractable arms broken. . The net is a custom size (20ft), the net is 11ft wide as you would expect when purchasing as this is a compact item. The kit is very light and travel friendly, but deflates easily in light winds, which isn't really a problem considering it's so easy to pick it up again after it's been knocked down, or you can throw a heavy object on the ground put help save This is before the cleanup as the instructions suggest. The problem is that the thin plastic that makes up the arms leaves a weak area that isn't flexible enough to withstand the high levels of tension, either from the mesh pulling the arms together like an arch, or from the wind, which adds extra stress and can cause the plastic to break. It needs to be reinforced in retractable meshes at every joint to be a more productive product. Perhaps large pieces of shrink tubing where each drawer's clips connect could be more durable.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Fits
