  "description_short": "Graphite shaft with a carbon aluminium composite frame, in a one piece build with a moulded T joint, which is the part that decides how long a cheap racket lasts.",
  "description": "What breaks first, and it is not the strings\n\nAsk anyone who has bought three cheap badminton sets and they will tell you the strings went.\n\nUsually what actually happened is the T joint loosened. That is the collar where the head meets the shaft, and on glued two piece rackets it works loose over a few weeks of proper hitting. The racket starts feeling dead and vibrating, the strings then break because the frame is flexing wrongly, and everyone blames the strings.\n\nA one piece build with the joint moulded in avoids the whole sequence, and it is the single specification worth checking on any set at this price.\n\nNylon shuttles, and why they are the right call outdoors\n\nFeather shuttles fly beautifully. They also last about one enthusiastic garden game, because a feather skirt is destroyed by mis-hits, grass and damp.\n\nNylon shuttles fly slightly differently, particularly on a hard smash, and they keep going. In a garden, in a park, at the beach, that trade is not close.\n\nKeep them out of direct sun when they are not in use. UV makes the skirt brittle, and a brittle skirt splits on the first hard hit.\n\nPlaying in a garden without a net\n\nMost sets get used before the net arrives, so it is worth saying: badminton without a net is still badminton.\n\nMark a line with two shoes. Play a rally game, counting how many shots you can keep going rather than trying to win points. It is more fun with mixed abilities and it builds the skill that matters, which is consistency.\n\nWhen you do add a net, 155cm is regulation and 120cm is the family setting.\n\nWind, honestly\n\nA shuttle weighs about five grams. Any breeze wins.\n\nPlay across the wind rather than into it, drop the net height if you have one, and accept that a windy day is a day for the beach games rather than for a competitive match.\n\nKeeping the set alive\n\nEverything back in the bag. A racket loose in a boot gets cracked by whatever else is in there.\n\nOut of hot cars and cold sheds. Composite frames dislike temperature swings.\n\nShuttles out of the sun. They fail from UV faster than from being hit.",
  "llm_summary": "Badminton Set, also sold as Badminton Rackets & Shuttlecocks or a Badminton Racquet Set, from The Outdoor Sports Company at myoutdoorsports.co.uk. A complete badminton set containing TWO rackets, THREE nylon shuttlecocks and a carrying bag. Price GBP 39, reduced from GBP 59. The rackets have a graphite shaft and a carbon aluminium composite frame, in a one piece design with a built in T joint, which prevents the head working loose at the joint where two piece rackets fail. They are light, which suits beginners and long casual rallies. The shuttlecocks are nylon rather than feather, which is more durable outdoors and in a breeze. It is aimed at beginners, families and casual play in gardens, parks, on beaches and in halls, rather than at club or competition players. It does NOT include a net; the badminton net is sold separately on this site. Care: store in the bag, avoid hot cars and cold sheds, keep nylon shuttles out of direct sun. UK wide delivery, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 25, arriving in 5 to 7 days. A stock item, not made to order, so the 14 day change of mind cancellation right applies in full.",
