    i just love it. i can't put a finger on one specific thing. the best feeling is when you play with an equal opponent and you had to run for every shuttle and yet you are smiling all the way because it is so enjoyable. even if you lose, you are still so satisfied that it does not matter. when i can't play, i anticipate the next time i will get to play. hitting a deceptive shot and fooling my opponents are nice. hitting a tumbling net shot (and believe me, i seldom get to do those since i am not very good) is a hoot. hitting a smash that just feels right, are very enjoyable. i love everything about badminton. even watching people who are really good at it is enjoyable to me. :D

    Well,at first,it's more of a willingness to beat my dad's friends,since they r always showing their unwillingness to play seriously whenever they're playing with me.I wanna show them..=)

    What drives me most about badminton is how once you step onto a court and start playing your hardest, you seem to forget about everything else, and just simply have fun.

    Being able to play for my highschool team in cities this year as a junior playing seniors was exhilarating. I was actually able to win a few games! It just shows how much improvement i've made over the past couple years.

    I used to be the kind of guy who just hit the bird, satisfied whenever it got over. Now, i'm able to actually control where it goes. I think it's amazing to see the progress you've made.

    Just drive/hit the bird over the net

    This is so true. ;););)

    For me, a few reasons:

    - To play interesting matches agaisnt gud opponents

    - To reach a even higher level while playing

    - To create new techniques, even "unreturnable" ones

    - Become the best in the world!!:D

    - Become the "Emperor of the courts" , dominating all in my way, nyahaha:D

    Used to be about competition, then it just all faded away.

    Wasn't worth it in the end. swapped to other activities.

    Come back to Badminton. It is where you can get some physical exercise

    Hi FEND.

    Great to find you back at Badminton Central. :):):)

    I still remember the last time when we talked about competitions. It was about some cards competition that you were going to compete in.

    Come back to Badminton. It is where you can get some physical exercise.
    IMHO, playing cards causes obesity. :p:p:p

    Usually, your parents drives you to practice when you are young. Since you are still too young to drive. When you get to high school, usually the bus driver. As you get older and makes more money, either yourself or your spouse drive you in a nicer car. When you get to 50s, you hope to have a driver to drive you in a Benz. when you get to 70, why are you still play badminton? Ohhhhh... on a Wii... Got it...:confused::eek::D

    I'm still ~50odd kg only lol. I do keep in shape. I stil enjoy my card competitions though I've stopped majority of it just to finish up my university now. Should be done by end of the year.

    Picked up a few other things also. Thought I'd drop by once again!

    Btw that shiny new Carlton Racquet might tempt me to get back into badminton... mmm
