Do you shave your legs?

less air resistance?

 

No. I doubt a few miliseconds would help me.

 

Did it before when I did a lot of road cycling..... but now that I'm indoors.... never again. I can't see what advantage it would have for badminton. Your friends were probably just curious how it would feel so they can relate to their female counterparts.

 

it's a disadvantage to shave (normal) legs for badminton.

 

Seems a bit extreme to me. Do they shave their heads as well? Wear body suits? Wouldn't make sense otherwise.

 

No way!! unless i'm using my legs for modelling hahah..

 

.....
hairy legs look sexier than bald legs.....
it will distract your opponent's attention...
thats why i dont shave my legs.....

 

Wa Ha Ha Ha! NO. I don't shave my legs for badminton.

I shaved my legs for road cycling because this sport often involve crashes which lead to "road rashes." It is easier to clean up and to patch the wounds. The wounds take several days to heal so re-bandage is necessary. It will make the job less painful if the hairs were not there to interfere with the changing. Since I seldom do road cycling now, I can also tell you that one of the benefits of shaving legs for cycling is to be able to show off the muscles to the girls (one good reason to do it).

May be those guys do cross-training. This may explain why their legs are shaved.

Q. Do you shave your legs

A. Hell NO!

It might be that your palls get their legs massaged and it is easier to do it with hairless legs, or it might be a phase they are going through

 

sounds like most of us have hairly legs...............
let's all compare our manly-ness!!!!

I notice most of the pro's legs arn't hairy....makes me really think.

 

i wish i had more hair on my legs. my legs has hardly any hair and my friends comment on my feminine legs

 

You should tell them that you shave your legs to be less like them

 

maybe puberty hasn't kick in yet.. Buahahaha

 

My coach shaves his legs. I shave my legs too... cuz I'm a girl!

 

hahaha. i'm 16. i have hair on my chin but barely any on my legs

 

I don't play WS nor WD so I would never do such a thing

 

a friend of mine who played badminton but also was a cyclist shave his legs regularly because it was less painful whenever he had to bandage. he often got knicks and scratches from the bike, and the occasional road rash, and he found that by shaving, he wouldn't forget and subject himself to ripping out leg hair when he removed bandages. YOUCH!

 

The more often one shaves, the thicker the new (leg)hairs will become.

 

To the thread. HELL NO. I don't shave my legs.

In response to redkingjoe yes hair grows faster and thicker after one cuts it. Facial hair included. That's why you don't see me without my moustache
