🏸 Franklin Sports Badminton Net Set - Outdoor Backyard and Beach Badminton Net and Equipment Set - includes 4 Rackets and 2 Birdies - Suitable for Adults and Kids - Professional Grade Review

Our kids had a blast at the picnic with this set. And that gave them something to do while we went from one game to another. It was easy to install and remove. Very light but strong enough to withstand

One of the rackets started to break after only two hours of use over two days. Somehow they didn't scold. The rest of the birds and the rest of the bats are in excellent condition.

If this professional version is the "top" of their line, I'd hate to see the underside. The network is solid but not exceptional. The stretch pattern is poorly described in the manual and is not obvious or easy to put on. The tote bag is ok but I doubt the zipper will hold up for weeks with kids tugging on it. As previously noted, the racquet catches. fall apart on first use. Next time I'll go as a last resort and treat the kit as a one-time use.

Ordered this for family fun. I know it was only $33 so wasn't expecting professional grade material but the mesh and poles are cheap cheap cheap. The posts are actually 3 pieces of thin, hollow, flimsy plastic that connect together and need to be attached to the ground with 3 separate ropes/stakes to stay in place. The mesh itself is thin and thin. We used it for about 15 minutes before one person touched the net during a game and the plastic on one pole just cracked and snapped in half. We…

This set is mostly junk. It was difficult to tune in and persevere. When we really got going, the first birdie broke at 60 seconds and the second cracked within the first 10 minutes before completely falling apart at 30 minutes. Birds are brittle plastic and full of junk. I understand that I want the product to be cheap, so I save on manufacturing, but what's the point if it's just junk. In general, just terrible quality, very cheaply made. My family of four accidentally played less than 30…

The badminton set is good but if you do a few things to strengthen the sticks it will work great. As many reviewers have pointed out, poles can and will break if you force them into the ground. I reinforced the posts by installing 4ft 1/2" PVC on the inside of each post. You drive a PVC pipe six inches into the ground and set posts on top. This is an inexpensive upgrade that helps keep sticks durable and to make long lasting. Easy to set up and easy to remove. I've also attached a video. As…

About 18 years ago I bought a $10 set (4 bats, 4 birds with a carry case but I don't remember if a net was included) at Walgreens. It was preserved approx. 15 years to 2018 when I played with it for a few hours every Saturday and Sunday for about 8 months and then let the kids play. This new Franklin set I bought is a replacement. The birds from my first set are still in use. The birds from the new replacement kit fell apart after 30 minutes of play. They probably need to be updated. However…
