what are your thoughts on badminton?
just a little FYI according to wikipedia:
badminton is the fastest raquet sport with smashes up to 325mph (faster than eurostar train)
1) people seem to view badminton as a family picnic, sissy backyard game, but it is actually a sport as well, which is very different in which you dont bash the birdie towards each other
(game and sport are two different terms)
2) it is an summer olympic sport as well

So you want my opinion on a game were players use a racket to smack a c.ock (of the shuttle variety) back and forth at speeds approaching 325 mph???
Ouch...just thinking about it hurts...
Actually, I used to love playing the game in the back yard when I was a kid!!
