**Patiassy Professional Badminton Set with Winch System - 4 Rackets, 2 Goose Feather Shuttlecocks & Carrying Bag - Portable Outdoor Badminton Net for Backyard, Beach, Park, and Family Fun**

Took some time to untangle the yellow line but other than that well made set.The quality of this set goes beyond the backyard! We had hoped to “just get the grandkids a *taste of badminton.” I had recently renewed my interest while watching the Olympics. “Just get a backyard set, it’ll probably disappear in no time anyway.” Well, having just ordered my own competition-grade racquet, I looked-into what’s available for kids. Everything I studied under $80USD was total (disappearing) junk. Then this set was offered —as a suggestion “similar to [my] recently-viewed items.” Seemed $pendy for grandkids, but we’re *all glad I opted for this upgrade. I was very surprised! The net is first-class, sets-up in grass by one person in minutes, VERY sturdy, seems long-lasting. Pegs and ropes are strong and detach from poles easily. The ratchet to keep the net taut is a huge timesaver, and the net itself is durable and UV resistant: we’ll just leave it setup all summer! The poles could outlast me— with one caveat: ensure they’ll drain any water, or they might rust from inside. The racquets could be used in the beginners’ competition gym: they’re strung at about 20lbs (perfect for a first taste smash), strong and light in carbon fiber, reasonable flexibility, balanced mid-height, and grips are small enough for an 8yo. [The very specs suggested to me for beginners.] In short, you’ll be glad you got this— despite the added co$t— and your kids might give it to theirs. The other stuff will just break!This set arrived 3 days ago, but it was raining so we weren’t able to set it up until today. 2 of the 4 rackets arrived cracked (see image) where the string holes are drilled. I don’t know how long they will last, as one is already cracking down the side of the frame. For the price, I would expect a little better quality than arriving already breaking. The net is really nice, however. My daughter (13) and I were able to set it up ourselves fairly quickly and the crank to add tension to the top of the net is a nice addition over similar nets. The net seems to be sturdy and is a nice size for backyard play. I considered returning the entire set after finding cracked rackets, but I think I will keep it for the quality of the net and contact the seller about the defective pieces .. will update review after contacting customer service.Update:I sent a message to customer service regarding the cracks in the rackets, they were responsive (even on the weekend) and worked out a way to make it right for me as soon as possible. I appreciate the understanding and effort of the customer service representative I got to work with. Top notch.As it has been a few more days and the net has been put to much more use, I can say it has not budged one bit. The top is not sagging at all and everything seems sturdy and secure.Thank you Patiassy!Overall good for backyard fun just don't expect it to last. Winch system is really useful.For this price I was expecting better qualityPoles are 1.25" as per product description but they light duty.Net holes are too big and shuttle stuck into it every time it hit the net.Net tape material seems to be average quality and I have my doubts if it will last 1yr outside.Set came with 2 birdies but one of the bird has 2 feathers rippedI have own many volleyball and badminton kits in past and lasted only few months. I’m glade that I purchased this unit, it feels well built quality.Easy to set up and assemble. Wish the travel bag was a bit longer so you could leave top two poles assembled with the net rolled between the two. Rackets sturdy and overall good qualityMetal poles, good net that won't rip at the top due to the attachment method. Nice that the ropes to tighten it are attached to real stakes and the rope is actually large enough to pull nice and tight. Overall, much better than the cheap plastic ones, really no comparison.Great quality item. It did take three people to put it up (some of that may have been user error.) Easy to use and very fun. The yellow net blends in nicely with the landscape but at the same time shows up really well. Very pleased with this one.
