Well... because I find it really fun.

Aside from all the fun and fitness, which is obviously there; I love badminton for those moments that punctuate your memory. I can think of no other sport where for short periods of time a relatively weak player can make a strong player look silly on court (albeit this doesn't happen often) by having a moment of genius.

It's these moments, and for me these shots which I replay over and over in my head after a night of good badminton. Some of my best shots over the past 4 years I can still remember now. More importantly, when one of these moments occurs, I love the look of deflation on your opponents face. Again, it's the only sport I can think of whereby you can crush an opponent's will with power or a feather touch.

It's a great game, I love every minute of badminton that I play.

Speed when driving and rallies, tactical, trust between your partner, smashes (who doesn't love the sound of smashes when properly hit?), good atmosphere, good workout (lunges) and many more that I can't think of right now xD.

Funnily badminton cured a lower back pain I used to get waking up practically every morning. But I also play for pleasure, competition and to keep fit.
