I don’t often talk about sports deals on the blog (well, partly because I can’t talk about everything!), but it’s not a topic I exclude from my news feed, perhaps it’s just that I come across them less often.

Anyway, today I have the chance to make up for it with the launch of a complete line for badminton by Adidas.

150 years after the birth of badminton, the three-stripe brand is launching a full range of equipment for shuttlecock enthusiasts: from rackets to shoes, from textiles to luggage; in short, complete equipment combining performance, design, and accessible pricing.

This range will be available from May 15, 2013 in major sports retailers and specialized stores.

This new range brings real innovations to the practice of badminton, both in terms of technology and design. The 22 rackets in the range incorporate more than 10 new technological innovations, providing players with power, precision, and playing comfort.

They are divided into four racket series – Stronger, Faster, Precision, Switch depending on the sensations sought by badminton players. Each of the rackets in the 4 series targets a specific player profile and need.

I admit that for me, badminton is above all a memory of this sport practiced during my school years, and which was not, by far, the one I was worst at…

The great deal:

Adidas has thought about small budgets and offers a racket in its range for less than €13.95: the Precision 8.

This series was designed for badminton players looking for precision in their game, and the racket offers a perfect balance between control, power, and speed, as well as very good performance in all types of shots: it is suitable for both attack and defense. It is ideal for all-round players, women, and experienced juniors.

GIVEAWAY:

With the return of sunny days, badminton can become a great way to spend your free time, as it is a fun, social, and family-friendly sport that can be played in any situation.

So if you want to trade your tennis racket for a badminton racket, you’re in the right place! Because I am offering to give one of my readers (male or female) a beautiful Adidas racket from the Stronger series: the P750 (value €74.95) with its shuttlecock. The super bonus: the racket will be delivered in a pouch signed by Viktor Axelsen, 2010 junior world champion!!!!

The “Stronger” series is ideal for badminton players looking for power in their game, especially when attacking. The extreme stiffness of the racket allows the player to maintain perfect control and offers an impressive impact during smashes or offensive shots. These rackets are recommended for men’s singles or women’s doubles play.

So to participate, just leave a comment below this article telling me about your passion for badminton.

A lucky draw will designate the winner of the signed racket. Good luck everyone!
