So, I have to admit that I haven't read the entire wikipedia article on badminton because it's just so freaking long! So far, I have gleaned:
- That my tennis serve is not appropriate for badminton, as it must be hit from below the waist and underhand.
- The general rules are like tennis from the way you hit the shuttlecock, but the scoring is like volleyball (play to 21).
- That there is no true badminton fashion. Badminton is rolled into fashion for tennis and squash... I don't know that I'm comfortable with that.
- That I like Ellesse tennis fashion.
- Having something to aim at is excellent for your badminton game. Like, the middle of your opponent's chest (especially if they have a target on their t-shirt) or their nose works well also.
Shopping
So, I went shopping with Mr. Studmuffin this past weekend for some transition clothes for him. I'm a huge fan of Old Navy when it comes to stylish yet comfy clothes that you know are only going to last a couple of seasons. We got some nice button down shirts that can be layered with t-shirts for only $8! Then I placed an online order for some jumper dresses for myself and costumes for my kiddies. :p

I like badminton mainly because 'shuttlecock' sounds like the title of bad spam ;)
(I wandered in from Joe's blog - hope you don't mind!)
If your day job doesn't work out, you should start your own line of badminton fashion.
