Badminton Training Books from myfoodcount.com
Badminton is a racket (or racquet) sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles).
Players at opposite ends of the court aim to hit a shuttlecock, more informally called a shuttle, bird or birdie, over the net so that it lands inside the marked boundaries of the court, and aim to prevent their opponents from doing the same. Unlike a tennis ball, the shuttlecock flies with a lot of drag, and will not bounce significantly. The shuttlecock is always volleyed, and a rally ends as soon as it touches the ground. Badminton racquets have long shafts, to make it easier to impart a great deal of momentum to overcome the drag. The racquets are also much lighter than tennis racquets, because the shuttlecock is light.

Badminton (Skills of the Game)
by Mark Golds
From the outset, this book plunges you deep into the wonderful world that is badminton. Mark Golds managed to teach me everything there is to know about the sport, from attacking serves to smashes. Accept no substitute, Mark - former England player - teaches in a way which would get begginers into the game, but at the same time has a learning curve steep enough for experienced players to add tremedously to their game. I now know why badminton is an Olympic sport, and more to the point, what a great game it is. If you are thinking of picking up a raquet for the first time, or are closer to forever hanging it up, this book is a perfect suitor for you, and in my opinion definately deserves the coverted five stars!

Badminton (Backyaed Games)
by Steve Boga, Stackpole Books, Steven Boga
Competitive badminton is to the backyard version as the National Football League is to coed touch. This informative, organized, and evangelistic guide to the sport won't transform readers into Olympic champions, but it will help serious players step far beyond the family-barbecue league. Opening is a brief history of the sport as well as the rules and the court dimensions. Also attended to are equipment selection and such basics as racket grip, positioning, footwork, and shotmaking. Singles, doubles, and mixed-doubles are presented in terms of both rules and strategy. There's even an obligatory chapter on badminton gamesmanship. The simple black-and-white line drawings enhance the text. A glossary and national list of badminton clubs and organizations are appended. If you need a badminton how-to, this is the one to buy.

Badminton Rules
by Pat Davis
Pat Davis does a good job with an overview of the rules of badminton. You get a brief history, racquet, shuttle, court and scoring information, faults and even a chapter on officials. There are some weaknesses: The wording in the scoring section left me wondering who could do what when the score was tied at 14. The diagrams are in meters with approximate English measurements - the width of the court comes out a foot too narrow. Despite the minor faults, this book will let the reader understand the basic rules of badminton.

The World Market for Tennis, Badminton, and Similar Rackets: A 2004 Global Trade Perspective [DOWNLOAD: PDF]
This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for tennis, badminton, and similar rackets. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for tennis, badminton, and similar rackets for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying tennis, badminton, and similar rackets? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of tennis, badminton, and similar rackets vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of tennis, badminton, and similar rackets? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
