They usually come with basic Badminton racquet sets and are cheap and easy to find at any sports shop or online. Plastic shuttlecocks are designed for casual players who just want to have a bit of fun, no harm in that. If you are a beginner you still need feather shuttlecocks. Some people might assume that you can just use running shoes, tennis shoes or gym. Different sports have specialised shoes for a reason. The biggest reason is for safety.
We have an article here that covers the difference between Tennis and Badminton shoes. I always recommend getting a good pair of Badminton shoes. They offer so many benefits whilst playing. Take a look at our recommended shoes page to find the perfect pair for you. You have to stretch a lot in Badminton so wearing shorts that are too tight or are a non-stretchy material will not be comfortable. You need breathable, moisture-wicking sports gear to draw the sweat away from your body.
This will help keep you cool and comfortable. Badminton brands create some beautiful and well crafted clothes for all ages and sizes. The attention to detail they give their clothing is really special. A simple example is that Badminton shirts are designed with a wider arm opening to accommodate the constant reaching we do.
It stops the shirt feeling too restrictive and is a nice touch. There are so many brands that offer great clothing for a good price. Brands like Yonex, Viktor, Li-ning and more all offer apparel for any budget. So there are only five pieces of equipment you need to get started playing. Anything else you have after that is a bonus. But like any sport, there are things that are nice to have and become more essential to have the more you play.
These are two pieces of equipment with two different purposes. Court mops are used to mop up any sweat or liquid off the court. Any liquid on a Badminton court is a serious hazard for players. You can use special court mops designed for Badminton or any highly absorbent mop. Badminton mops tend to be a lot bigger because of the size of the Badminton court. However, when done so, the shots are better. My recommendation for beginners and intermediate players is to choose an isometric shape frame as it will help more with their game.
The last important point to consider is the shaft, which is the part of the racket between the head and the handle. This can come in different materials and in different stiffnesses. For a beginner player, it is better to start with a flexible shaft because it will help you generate power more easily so you can focus on the form of your shots. Once you become more proficient, it might make sense to switch to a stiff shaft in order to have more precision in your shots.
The second mandatory item is the shuttle. This is what distinguishes badminton from all the other racket sports and what makes it so unique. The shuttles used in competitions are called feathered shuttles and they are not cheap to buy, especially because they do not last that long. We do not recommend using this type of shuttle if you are just starting. There is a different kind of shuttle, called a non-feathered shuttle, which is cheaper and much more durable.
On Yumo, you can purchase a cheap and durable tube for a very low price. If you want to know a bit more about shuttles, you can check our badminton shuttle post , where we go much more into detail into the different types of shuttlecock and we recommend different shuttles depending on the circumstances. A net with the poles is, in our opinion, also a mandatory item. Even though you can still hit the shuttle around without the net, this equipment provides certain limitations to the shots that make the game more realistic and fun.
If you want to play outdoors, you will need to purchase them. You can find it in Yumo by clicking here. We go down the scale here from mandatory to recommended equipment. Shoes are, in our opinion, the third most important equipment to buy after rackets and shuttles. This is because badminton can be a very demanding sport for your feet and having proper shoes will save you from a lot of discomfort and injuries.
This is, obviously, if you play badminton indoors. If you play badminton outdoors, do not spend the money with shoes that are designed for indoor use. As it is the case with all the other items, there are shoes that are designed for beginners so you do not need to spend a tone of money on them. My recommendation is, if you can, to make sure they are shoes designed for badminton, as the movements are very specific and shoes designed for indoor courts, in general, will not work as well.
These will be slightly more expensive but they are, in my opinion, worth the investment. This is the final recommended equipment. It is not as important as the shoes because it will not prevent injuries, but it will certainly improve your comfort while playing.
Having a sportive outfit will allow you to move faster and more comfortable around the court and hit the shuttle with ease. Shorts or skirts and a t-shirt are the preferred outfits. As we explained in our badminton kit bags post , we do not recommend buying a kit bag if you are a complete beginner. However, if you have already been playing badminton for a few months and you see yourself playing long term, it is a good investment to make.
Kit bags will help you keep your badminton equipment organized and easily accessible. As for what to look on a kit bag, here is a summary of what we explain in our extensive buying guide for kit bags. If you only go to training sessions and a sporadic local tournament, it might make more sense for you to buy a kit bag with only one strap, because they are usually smaller, cheaper and easier to move around.
If you do more than that, you are probably better of buying one with two straps. You will sometimes overload your badminton bag, other times you will forget your dirty clothes inside there for a few days and other times it will be tossed around without much care.
Your badminton bag will have to go through all this and keep working and looking well. Therefore, make sure you pick a kit bag from a reliable brand. I have only used Yonex bags and they have always lasted for a very long time. If you are going to buy a bag, just think a bit about what things you are going to put inside and how many times you are going to use it, or for how long will you have to be holding it. That being said, try to always be on the safe side towards it being big.
It is better to have a slightly over-sized bag than a slightly under-sized one. As for specific product recommendations, assuming you have started a few months ago and you only go to play recreational badminton once or twice every two weeks, I would choose a kit bag with only one big compartment and one strap.
