I was really disappointed that the glow sticks were not included with the Night Speeders. The product description was not clear about this. I understand buying refills but description should have stated that the glow sticks were not in package.

Product description doesn't say that glow sticks have to purchesed separately, so these aren't glowing shuttlecocks. Also, they're realy tiny. Package doesn't include hints as to where to get the glow sticks. Waste of time & money.

I bought these to play with at the beach, and I loved the small, heavier design compared to regular shuttlecock. They were great for playing in the day with light wind. At night, however, they weren't very easy to play with. They should have come with the glow-sticks, in my opinion, but I had no real problem ordering them seperately (though they were quite expensive for what they are). You can see the birdies fine at night when they are right in front of you, but when they are flying through the air, they are pretty hard to play with when all you see is a faint-ish glow.

NO LIGHTS INCLUDED! LIGHTS HAVE TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.SO BASICALLY YOU ARE GETTING A YELLOW BIRDIE.

I purchased these and paid extra to have them overnighted for my daughters summer party. It's such a cool idea but it wasn't so cool when we received them they didn't have the lighting mechanism, so needless to say night badminton didn't occur.

I read very closely and carefully and even consulted with an amazon.com rep about the contents, they even said that it appears they come with it, so another order later...no light sticks.

I'm fairly new to Amazon and still learning all there is to offer, I wish I would have read the reviews on this item, had I done so I wouldn't have wasted my time and money ordering this, sounds like the glow sticks aren't even worth purchasing after all.

I think Amazon.com needs to edit the description of this item and make it clear that the NIGHT STICKS ARE NOT INCLUDED.

Hope this helps.

If you are smart enough to look at the product review prior to order, then you can ensure you have a great time with this product. They DO NOT come with the glow sticks which is a must if you buy this product for sunset/night playing. I spent 3 times the amount of money on shipping to get these in time for a holiday event and now I am stuck without the 2nd part of the product to make it work as advertised.
The product description does not tell you this part is not included and actually describes the ability to use at night which is not true. The product picture is shown with the glow stick, so I would go as far as to say it is skirting unethical for the add. Easy enough to order with the refills, but they should come with at least one, so you can call the additional pack a 'refill' pack.

i purchased the pro performance speedminton speeders. i have been playing badminton for 30 years and i'm acustomed to the normal amount of swing needed to volly a shuttlecock. these speeders are impossible to play with. if you hit it with a minimal amount of swing, it goes a mile. nice idea to be able to play badminton in the dark, but with these you need a badminton court the size of a football field. (i'm not kidding, the first one is on my two story roof.) i'm going to try and drill some holes in them to lighten them up so you might actually be able to play with them. also the light sticks are very small and are not very bright. if you love badminton as much as i do, save your money and play during the day.

I have always wanted to be able to play badminton in the dark and now I can! These light up well enough to be easily seen in the dark, and are a lot of fun. In fact the darker it is the better you can see them. They really should come with the light sticks required for illumination though rather than being two separate items.

The main reason I bought these is because they are for NIGHT play. They do not come with glow sticks and I had to turn around and buy them!!

I love badminton - speedminton is not the same. First off these things FLY - no matter how easy you hit them they fly, so you need lots and lots of space. They might work great at the park or something but I haven't tried playing in a wide open space. Second is the "Night Speeders",they don't work. There is barely enough light to do anything with these things. The only good things about them is there is enough light to see them to pick them up once there on the ground. Great idea but it doesn't work. Save your money and play during the day.
