Why i quit badminton

it's sooo expensive!

Nowadays a tube of good quality shuttlecocks (I always use RSL silverfeather) is RM44, for a dozen shuttlecocks. So that works out to almost RM4 each. For singles game, it may last 2-3 sets. If doubles, it can barely last a single set. Depending on players skill as well. I noticed less skilled players tend to destroy shuttlecocks much quicker.

And normally, I would play at least 4-5 sets every time. So that's easily 3-4 shuttles into the rubbish bin. Made worse, when there are 5-6 of you, but none of them actually have shuttlecocks in their bags! Even worst when I just brought out a new, crisp shuttlecock, played for just one short set then have to give way for friends to play. When it's my turn to play again, I end up with a well-used, badly damaged & wobbly shuttlecock and nobody even bother to replace it. And of course, I will then have to supply another new, crisp shuttlecock. Everybody else just look

*sigh*

seems i better go back to my running & cycling

Please refer to the following options:

1)kalau u tak nak kasi dia org amik FOC u pakai la shuttlecock warna pink....

2) tak pun cakap mcm nie time dia org mintak.

kawan napee: napee nak satu shuttlecock
napee: eh amik la.... aku mmg beli utk kau pakai...

kene 2-3 kali org yg faham bahasa tak mintak la tapi org mengata u sebagai kedekut and u tak ada kawan dah

3) mcm yg penah i bagi tahu... sila pakai shuttlecock plastik... mak i belikan i tu dulu masa i mula² blaja main badminton... hasilnya.. i dah pro dah
cewah...

diorang tak mintak, tapi bila sampai turn nak main, shuttle dah hancur, rongak² semua org buat tak tau je... lepas tu buat cerita sedih kutip shuttle terpakai tepi court.

nak kata i kedekut, diorang tu tak kedekut ke langsung tak keluar duit beli shuttle? or at least, mcm i biasa buat, lepas main 2-3 kali, bayar la sikit RM10 buat beli shuttle baru.

ye la, kene cari shuttle plastik ni hehehe
