Badminton Is Easy To Learn, But Hard To Master

April 3, 2007 by Neil Anthony

The best thing about it is that it is easy to learn. This game is so easy that it can be played by both men and women in all ages—from kids to the older ones. You just have to find a badminton court, grab a racket, hit the shuttlecock crossing it over the net to the opponent’s side,  learn the rules while playing it with a friend who knows it, and then learn the basic strokes after one or two games. It is that easy. You can go and learn the proper strokes after the first or second game. At least, you have the feel of the game. It is not as hard as tennis in trying to learn the game. In tennis, one without the proper stroke would have a difficult time hitting the ball. In badminton, even without the correct basic strokes, one can hit the shuttlecock. A coach once said that having one good badminton game is like going for a run of at least five kilometers. In fact, it is more than just running—imagine the movement of both arms, the stretching of both legs, and the turning of the head. Once you are going for the mastery of the game, the more it becomes quicker requiring a quick reflex and a fast decision making on the part of your brain. This is where a player spends most of his time in badminton—in mastering it. But to play badminton and enjoy it—that is a lot easier than any racket sport.
