4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, March 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Badminton Today (West's physical activities series) (Paperback)

This book does a great job of teaching basic skills and strategies and giving a good overview of philosiphy of the game. the instructions are very clear and the pictures show the exact sequence of movements for proper performance of skills. This book also features drills for improving techniques and conditioning as well as basic strength and flexibility training information. for the true beginner, this book also contains the IBF rules (at the time-setting score needs update). This book took me from a terrible player with no prior knowledge of the game, to an outstanding player. Highly reccomended for beginner to intermediate recreational or competitive player.
