Major Combos
The wonderful thing about indecision is that sometimes that doesn’t have to be the downfall of your fun times with friends or family. Don’t know if you want to play volleyball or badminton? Well, you don’t really have to choose. The Baden Champions set -- with it’s two included stilts -- can transform from a badminton height net to a volleyball one, in a fraction of a moment.

Quality
Everything about this badminton set screams high quality. Baden has done a fantastic job with the make and materials here. The construction of the net, the rope tie-downs, even the ball, and shuttlecock are gloriously well made. Some of these sets can lack the finer assets that make a truly quality apparatus. Whether it’s the metal, or even it carrying case, reinforced stitching, premium nylon strings, the careful construction of these outdoor sets can spell the difference between half-an-hour of fun before everything falls apart, and multiple bummers of enjoyment.

Cost and Value
With everything we’ve spoken of thus far, it’s easy to assume that the Baden Champions Volleyball Badminton Combo Set could run for an exorbitant amount of money, but it’s listed under a hundred dollars. If you take into consideration that you’re getting an extremely high-quality net set that can be your go-to for more than just the two sports it was made for, this is an incredible deal.

No Ties
The fantastic design of Bogalen Heigh Adjustable Badminton net spells out a far better time than others due to its complete lack of tie-downs. No more fussing with the annoying events that unfold around attempting to stick ground stakes into the dirt when all you want to do is play some badminton or hit the volleyball around. The bottom bar design keeps the net up-right and it supplies a great time, in a short amount of time. It’s imperative that outdoor gear is as convenient to use, as it is made to be used.

All of the Sides
A true multi-use case system comes with all (or most) of the things you might need, and the tools you might need to have some fun. The Bogalen Heigh Adjustable Badminton set comes with the net itself -- a fourteen or ten-foot wide net -- three nylon birdies, a carrying case, and a fairly high-quality set of four badminton racquets. Nothing here is necessarily better quality than it would be if you were to purchase these items separately, and on their own with the same amount of funds.

Cost and Value
Corners get cut. That’s especially relevant considering we’re talking about a badminton set that gets awfully close to that “budget” price for all of the goods that it comes with. But they aren’t cut here. They are, in fact, reshaped. Instead of the cuts, you get the awesomely tie-less Bogalen Badminton Set.

The Make of it All
There are so many things about the OPPUM “Professional” badminton racquet set that smell of quality. Let’s start with the build of the carbon fiber body, which is proudly whip-like in its bend, and extremely durable. Strung up with a high-quality net, and professional grade hand grips, the OPPUM racquets are extremely high-quality.

Featherlight
If you’ve never played badminton before, let me inform you that the sport is a very fast, and whippy one. Nets hold firm, while birdies (or shuttlecocks) fly quickly through the air, but did you know that as a hockey stick mid-slap-shot, the badminton racquet also bends and whips quite a lot in order get the full power of the magical engineering behind these high-quality racquets.

Cost and Value
This set may not come with a net or any sort of pop-up variety, but the professional grade double racquet set from OPPUM made with 100% carbon fiber is the definition of value, in any sense of the word. For less than forty dollars Canadian, you can get two extremely competent, and amazingly made badminton racquets.

Colorways
One of the only things that are different between the OPPUM option and this Senston, is the color options. Here, you’ve got a few different color pairings, that will add a little bit of spice to your badminton game. Stunning yellows, crisp whites, and wondrous reds leap from the racquets and can strike fear into the heart of your great uncle who won’t stop bragging about that one time in high school when he was the “best in his class”.

Options on Bells (and or Whistles)
Lots of the items on this list come as shown, and without many other options. Sure you can find the products in bits and pieces if you’re lucky, but Senston gives the buyer plenty of chances to find what combination of things works best for them. You’ve got combos that include two shuttlecocks, two replacement grips, and a carry case. There are versions of this same set of racquets that don’t include birdies or don’t include grips. Options are great!

Cost and Value
The full package is one of the best prices you will find around for not one, but two very well made badminton racquets. And with the previously discussed bundle options of grips and birdies, you’ve got some great value with the Senston Two Player set.

Everything!
The true beauty to the full sets like this one is that there is no need to “round out” your set-up in order to find the joys you’re looking for in some backyard badminton fun. There’s no searching for a home-made badminton net, or purchasing one. This set comes with four racquets of medium quality, a full net, “tournament quality” badminton shuttlecocks, and a carrying case.

Your Fun Needs Boundaries
An extremely easy way to ensure that uncle Benny doesn’t cheat at the summer barbecue is to set some ground rules. One of those, of utmost importance, are boundaries. The Champion Sports Deluxe Outdoor Game Set comes with boundary lines that are easily run from the net to create boundary boxes with a simple peg in the ground on the far corners. Set those boundaries well, don’t let uncle Benny take any of your joy. He can have a Monopoly, but don’t let him take the pride of the grass courts.

Cost and Value
Can you really put a price on familial supremacy? What should bragging rights at Thanksgiving dinner truly cost you? Well, if you were to pick up this all-in-one badminton set from Champion Sports, it’ll be about a hundred dollars. But considering you get nearly everything you need (family members ripe for embarrassment not included), that’s a great value.

Twin Shafts
No, this isn’t a fancy muscular American-made motor vehicle. We’re talking about a badminton racquet here folks. Instead of a single flimsy shaft extending from the handle to the head of the racquet double the structural integrity of the racquets themselves. Twice the shaft, twice the strength of the racquet. Connecting on from the top of the handle to two points of connection to the head of the racquet, the twin shaft design does not impede any function of the racquet.

Sixes & Styles
That’s right! This pack of racquets comes in a set of six racquets. It’s kind of weird. Especially if you consider that badminton is generally one versus one, or at the most two versus two. We’ve never seen anyone play three versus three, but who are we to judge if you want to shake things up numbers wise. In addition to getting six whole racquets, each one is a very beautiful, almost neon color, and will easily set apart all six players.

Cost and Value
Less than fifty bucks for a set of six fairly high-quality racquets is hard to beat. Add to that the unique design, and the quality nylon strings, and you’ve got yourself a few good full sets of badminton racquets that should do you for your need for some time to come. There are some reports on string breaking or grip wear, but if you’re a fan of these racquets, we’d suggest restringing, or regripping with some higher quality stuff at your local shop.

Simple Things
An easy thing to build, and set-up, right here we’ve got an awesome package for fun that won’t give you any headaches with overcomplicated designs, or parts. With nothing fancy, comes nothing of burden. The net props up with a single, simple pole (stick it into the ground), and two tie-downs on both sides pulling the net taught. Set-up takes only a few moments, and the build won’t let you down.

Some Beauty In Regulation
Unlike almost every single badminton set on this entire list -- and extremely contrary to the opening paragraph in this entry, talking about not wanting to mimic a professional badminton atmosphere -- the Park and Sun badminton set is surprisingly regulation length. Sitting at twenty-one feet, the to league specs badminton net wouldn’t necessarily be accepted into tournament play, but it sure fits the bill in regards to length.

Cost and Value
There’s nothing quite like spending less than a hundred dollars for the express purpose of having a heck of a lot of fun, without the stress, and without the hassle of fancy parts. You’re looking at one of the best badminton sets on the market focused on the sheer joy of playing some badminton in your yard, in the park, at the cabin. The value here is obvious but comes down to decent quality, ease of use, all for a relatively average price.

The Spice of Life
It’s variety. Though I’ve been to some countries that would suggest that cumin, or allspice, is the spice of life. But maybe that’s nitpicking. Here, you’ve got options galore. Not only can you pick between three different sizes of nets, the one net you do get is quite surprisingly moldable to your needs as well. The Boulder Portable Net can stand just above the ground for your tennis games, mid-range for pickleball or youth volleyball, and high for normal volleyball and badminton.

Stand-Alone
The best feature that the Boulder Portable Badminton Net has is that it can set up on any flat service. The stand-alone build of the net itself doesn’t need any ties to the earth and works a lot like the item higher on our list. Match that with the fact that the tripod-like poles are extremely easy to set up, and you might just be stuck trying to figure out how many you need, rather than whether you need one.

Cost and Value
The premium net, with an anchorless system, and three heights (available in three different widths) is just that, a premium product. The price might be a bit above average, but even in its largest form, the Boulder Portable Badminton Net only runs slightly more than fifty bucks. It’s quick to put together and build to withstand all of those accidents you might have when trying to beat your mates. The Boulder net is a fantastic value. Pair it with one of our choices for stand-alone racquet sets, and you’ve got some great fun ahead of you.

Discounted Fun
You’ve got to know that often the amount of fun you are going to have isn’t always tied up in how much the receipt reads at the bottom. Budget fun is just as great (sometimes funnier) than premium fun. The Yolo Sports Badminton Set is a prime example of this. For the same cost as just a racquet, you get everything you need to play the game. Granted, without the premium build quality.

No Expensive Mistakes
Cost aside, you get a whole lot of stuff in this one package. Consider yourself fully decked out to play some good ol’ backyard badminton if you snatch up the Yolo Sports Game Badminton Set, and you can even invite three friends to play with you. Part of the reason it was crucial for us to throw a budget set on this list is that often times folks get a badminton set for the sake of one event -- so maybe that brand name is proper after all -- and there is very little to be found in the way of hard feelings if something were to break, or if the heat of competition were to get the better of someone, because you paid less than a meal for two at a diner for it.

Cost and Value
This entire set is the definition of cost and value. The quality is low enough to keep the cost down, and you get one (or four) of everything you need to play right out of the bag, all for under forty bucks. The value of taking the lesser product route, for the sake of some short-lived fun is often the path people take. Don’t break the bank, and get something you won’t be upset about when it breaks.

Budget Friendly
To rehash some of the concepts and thoughts from the previous list item, the Trained Badminton Set is an essential item for those looking to spark some fun, or replace some racquets and are met with a shoe-string kind of budget. At roughly ten bucks, you’re not going to break into any world tour championship tournaments with these racquets, but if you need some spares to fill out your arsenal, or for the kids to use, these nearly brandless, non-flashy racquets are a killer deal.

Is It A Bird? Is It A Plane?
To say that budget-friendly products don’t usually stand out is an understatement. From grocery brands, all the way to sporting goods, the cheaper they get, the less flashy they will be. So it was surprising that a ten dollar set of racquets would also come with amazing LED shuttlecocks. These bad boys whiz through the air in bright, easy to see colors and will put on quite a show for those spectating your backyard shenanigans.

Cost and Value
Whether you’re looking to light up the night, with a cold beverage and some badminton, or you’re looking to add a few extra racquets to your bag in case of emergencies, the Trained Premium Quality Set of Badminton Racquets and LED Shuttlecocks is a fantastic value. It even has a few colorful tricks up its sleeve in order to stand out among the budget aisle residents.
