2.0 out of 5 stars
disappointed,
By Agustin Di Croche (argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Badminton (Paperback)
I don't understand why the book deserved 5 stars (that misled my purchase), I think that it deserves 2 at most.I don't believe that it is all what Mark has to transmit us, its experience should surely be a lot richer it don't provide or describe important strokes, shots or hints (for example, what about the forearm pronation on smashes or clears). It also has, almost consecutively, repeated pictures without providing a new point of view. With determination, I don't recommend it (and I recommend Mark that don't let his name be used in such a way).

Badminton (Skills of the game) reveiw,
By Dan Babar (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Badminton (Paperback)
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!
