This week, the boy’s Nana brought along this Badminton Set when she came to visit from Louisiana. It’s been great watching everyone outside enjoying the gorgeous weather and playing this simple but fun backyard game.

The net and rackets that came with this particular set from Pac & Sun are surprising sturdy. They held up well when during one especially long rally, Nana showed exceptional aggressiveness, charging and then falling straight into the net.

The Pac & Sun aluminum Badminton set comes with:

• Official-size badminton net with 1.5-inch telescopic aluminum poles
• Pre-measured boundary
• Four 10-inch ground stakes
• Four steel racquets, and three grade-A birdies
• Durable equipment bag
