Last Tuesday, my son came home with a printout of the Squalt Sport Junior Badminton Set. He'd circled it twice. Underlined it. Added a note that said 'PLEASE' in letters that got progressively larger. I sighed the sigh of a man who knows he's about to have an opinion about badminton equipment, which is not something I ever thought would happen.
See it, Dad? →What Is It?
The Squalt Sport Junior Badminton Set is a complete backyard badminton kit with rackets, birdies, and a net—basically everything you need to launch suburban shuttlecock warfare. It's designed for younger players, which is good because nobody needs regulation badminton equipment until they're at least 14 and making questionable life choices.
What Does the Internet Think?
This set sits at 4.3 stars across 5,100 reviews, which is the kind of solid-but-unremarkable rating that screams 'people are generally satisfied but not writing poetry about it.' The reviews cluster around 'it works fine for the price' and 'it's what we have at home, basically,' which should tell you everything. ★★★★☆ across 5,100 reviews.
Here's the thing: the Squalt is fine. It genuinely is. Your kids will use it, they'll get some sun, they'll maybe develop a weird competitive streak about badminton that'll fade by September. But 'fine' is exactly what we already have at home in the form of that ancient tennis net and whatever rackets have been living in the garage since 2019. If you need a badminton set specifically, this does the job. If you're wondering whether it's *worth* the investment, well... the verdict's in the name of this column.
