My kid came running in with a tablet, eyes wide, screaming about a 'Squalt Sport Junior Badminton Set.' I sighed, took a sip of coffee, and started typing the URL into the browser. The name alone—Squalt—sounds like a noise you make when you miss the shuttlecock.
See it, Dad? →What Is It?
It’s a junior badminton set aimed at families: two rackets, a net, and a handful of shuttlecocks crammed into a carry bag. The rackets are lightweight plastic—fine for backyard bashing but not for any real smash. It’s the kind of set you buy when you want to pretend you’re going to become a badminton family.
What Does the Internet Think?
With 5,100 reviews and a 4.3-star average, this set is about as middle-of-the-road as it gets. Lots of people say it works for casual play, but a chunk of them mention the net feels flimsy and the rackets wobble after a few games. The enthusiasm in the reviews feels like a polite golf clap, not a standing ovation. ★★★★☆ across 5,100 reviews.
This is the dictionary definition of MEH. It does the job, but so does a $20 set from the discount store. The Squalt Sport Junior Badminton Set isn’t bad—it just doesn’t do anything special. You know what? We’ve got a badminton set somewhere in the garage—probably from last summer’s 'we’re going to play every weekend' phase. Check the net; it might even have fewer holes.
