Played properly, Badminton is a bloody fast game that is second only to Squash for energy burned per hour.
It's also less "thrusting executive" (ie. less wanky) than Squash.
It really does require a lot of concentration, but it doesn't have the same pain factor as squash or tennis

I thought doing the dirty deed was number 1 for energy burned per hour, squash 2 that would put Badmingon at 3...

Badmington? no.
Although as im getting older the old Squash injuries are staring to take their toll, you can only play squash for so long its a tough old sport, maybe I should have a game of shuttle cock.

Its really an unfortunate name for a thing to hit, it makes you squirm the first few times you hit it

Do you play, what raquet would you recommend. The threads seems to have wandered a little.
Try these guys out, I've bought squash raquets from them in the past, very good service and prices.

Carlton or Slazenger.
No other raquet manufacturers really embraced badminton afair. They all just completed their range of raquets across the tennis/squash/badminton triumverate.
(although, to be fair, it's been about 10 years since i played)

Ive been carlton faithufll for about 9 years now, so that would be my automatic preferance.
I play a fair amount. I suppose it depends what sort of raquet you want (head light, long shaft etc.).
Personally I favour Yonex and have got a couple of the Muscle Power (MP) series, namely the MP44 and MP66, both and headlight and I enjoy using both. In general you get what you pay for, though having said that though if you can cope with the slightly strange shape of a Prince then you can get a high end racquet for not much money as they are typically out of favour at the moment.
Ideally I'd see if it's possible to try out some other players racquets on club nights to find out what you like, but if you've just broken yours then that isn't really do-able.
