Health, July/August 2006
Editors Pick: A new summer game you´ve gotta try! Whether you´re headed to the beach, park, or backyard, here´s the perfect game for you to take along: Speedminton Speedset. It´s like a more-versatile form of badminton. It comes with three birdie-like "speeder": a slower one for fun, a faster one for competition (use it to play your buddies for the last watermelon slice). What better way to burn off those post-barbecue calories?
Prevention, June 2006
Calories burned: about 400 per hour
Body benefits: The results are similar to those in tennis - sculpted arms and back, toned legs and better hand-eye coordination. It´s great cardio.
The Palm Beach Post, Manic Monday, June 2006
The Man Panel: Now they have upgraded their badminton set to the Speedminton game.
Mo Foster: We (he and his wife) went at it for about 10 minutes and I have to say I LOVE IT! Speedminton rocks! I´d highly recommend dropping $30 on the Set. Take it to the beach or to your Fourth of July picnic. It´ll be tons o´fun - as long as your´re not playing my wife.
Chris Dunstan: So on a cool night, with a glass of merlot in one hand and a racquet in the other, my wife and I hit the birdie back and forth in the back yard for a couple of hours. We had a pretty amusing time, inventing our own rules.
Los Angeles Family, June 2006
Speedminton® can be played almost anywhere and is great exercise and fun for the whole family: Fast, Fun and Fantastic!!!
Sealthwise, Summer 2006
Easy to learn, hard to master, fun like badminton and aerobic and competitive like racquetball!
The Indianapolis Star, April 2006
This new recreational game combines elements of badminton, tennis and racquetball. The Speeders head is made of harder rubber so the weight drives it through the air faster. While the game is played competitively overeas, it´s catching on as a recreational family-style game in America.
Denver Post, January 2006
Get in shape: this summer with Speedminton®!
Chicago Tribune, January 2006
On a fitness kick: The next big thing: Master that backhand with a new game that´s like tennis - sort of. Speedminton is a game in which you try to outscore opponents using lightweight racquets and badminton-like "speeder". No net needed, so you can play just about anywhere.
New York Times, December 2005
Hello Birdie, bye bye, Net
For many people, badminton is a lazy game, played bare-foot on the lawn. The creators of Speedminton®, which was introduced to the United States from Germany in 2004, want you to put on sneakers and get your heart-rate up.
