One level up from the Carlton set, good value.May 12, 2009
By Rick V
"Bargain hunter by day, shopaholic at night"
Background you can skip
I bought this set for myself and my kids so that we could play in the yard. I had seen the Carlton set for about 35$ in a store and did not like the quality of the rackets and the wobbly poles so I decided to buyt the slightly more expensive Salaun set, for 15 to 20 bucks more.
About this set
It did not disappoint. The set came, like most other sets, in a plastic carrying bag and was complete:
- 6 rackets of which 4 regular size and 2 short, in 4 distinct colors and made of aluminium
- Net (poly)
- Poles (steel)
- Pole fasteners (to pull the net tight)with ground spikes
- 3 nylon shuttles in a container
- carrying bag
The rackets are very decent quality, certainly one grade up from the 7$ steel throw-away stuff. These are actually nice looking, very lightweight (aluminum) and durable. The string is tight and, again, these are worth the extra money over the Carlton set I looked at.
The net was relatively easy to set up and I liked the fact it was set with steel poles. Doesn't mean it won't break if you manhandle it but certainly more durable than pvc.
By the way, I posted a bunch of pics so you can look at the parts.
Pros
- Decent quality that will make this set last
- Complete with 6 rackets and everything else you need
Cons
- Little tricky to get the net right. Best thing would be a permanent net with poles set in concrete. These poles are always a little tricky with the tension cords but once set up they should stand up through the summer if you wanted to.Setting it up a few times will make it easier though. Minus one star for that but all sets will have that flaw.
Final thoughts
He/She who finds a simpler solution to the netting gets 5 stars. Consider buying a separate net solution if you are looking for something more permanent but if that is the case I recommend spending the 200$ or so for a semi-pro setup anyways. For your run of the mill home use this is perfect. With so many rackets it is a good party set.
If you have the room in your yard or lots of wind interference consider buying a simplet Speedminton set. Tougher, faster game and loads of fund. Goes for 30$.

Fairly decent, but not "advanced"Jul 09, 2009
By D. Bentley
I purchased the Salaun Badminton Advanced Family Game Kit in June.
It has been set up, taken down and set back up with ease. It was thoroughly used over the 4th of July weekend and withstood vigorous play to our satisfaction.
The kit comes with 4 full-sized rackets, 2 short-handled rackets, 3-pk shuttlecocks, breakdown-able poles, strings and stakes, as well as strings to mark the court area.
Rackets seem sturdy and quality-made. Birdies come apart with use and do occasionally find their way into the net. Net and poles could stay up well under most "windy" days, but not under a windy downpour of rain. Poles are rusting due to being left set up outside.
Is it better quality than what I could purchase at a local store? I don't know, but I do consider it worth the $50 I paid for it.

 Excellent set. Worth the extra $Jul 03, 2009
By John Quillen
We play hard enough that we've distorted (bent) racket heads and loosened the strings of a couple of sets (not goofing around, just hitting the birdie hard). This set has taken everything we've dished out.
The handle covers show no signs of wear and are comfortable; they seem like they'll hold up over the long haul.
Very nice set and well worth the extra money. The net / poles are cheap, but the rackets are excellent and worth the price alone.

Great bidminton set for all beginners.Jul 23, 2010
By Long2vu
The set came with everything I needed. Aside from the fact that the vinyl bag is tearing from the handles and the net being flimsy and unreliable. However, I'm able to work with everything the set came with quite well. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to begin playing badminton with a full set of racquets withbirdies and a net with boundaries.

Great Badminton SetJul 10, 2009
By Happy Reader
"Leigh Anne"
This is a great badminton set. My 10 year old plays with the junior racket. The net was easy to set up, but is somewhat fragile- the net ripped when I was straightening the poles one day- just be careful with it.
