Is badminton a real sport? Badminton is a genuine professional sport. It's the world's fastest racquet game, with more than 300 million players each year. Since 1992, it has been an Olympic discipline. It necessitates quick reactions and strong athletic ability, making it a fast-paced sports activity.

So, how do you hit the sweet spot in Badminton? Let me tell you...

To hit the sweet spot every time in Badminton you need to practice hitting with a controlled and smooth stroke. The sweet spot is usually located in the middle top third of the racquet head. So you want to hit the shuttle a little higher than the middle of the strings.

Last month, Jeff & I had the opportunity to test the new Yonex Nanoflare 800 before it launched. In this article, I share my thoughts on the racquet.

We were given the opportunity to test this racquet out in late February/early March for 2020 in collaboration with Badminton Click in Melbourne, Australia. It officially dropped on March 20th, 2020.

Today, we'd like to share with you our thoughts on the Yonex Nanoflare 700. 

We were given the opportunity to test this racquet out in early December 2019 in collaboration with Badminton Click in Melbourne, Australia. It officially dropped on March 1st last year (2019). 

How long as it been since you were on the badminton court? The COVID-19 lockdowns have got us anxiously waiting for when we are able to get out there and play again!

At the time of recording, we thought that the 2020 Olympics were going to happen this year but we thought wrong. One thing we're not wrong about yet are our predictions for who will win the Olympics when that time inevitably arrives.
