Comments from people who've bought the book: This might very well be my first post to badminton central forums. I've been playing approx 1.5 years now and I'm 28 years old. Before playing I had held a racquet maybe twice in my life so I was completely new to the sport. I play roughly 7 to 10 hours a week and devote an average of 2 to 3 hours of reading on the sport and have progressed to a level where I can at least competently compete with the "regulars" at one local club and have some respectable shots. I bought Butch & Vip's book last week (through a friend as I have no paypal account) and I would say that this book is fantastic, it was well worth the 30 dollars even for just an ebook and I would recommend any beginner or intermediate to advanced player pick it up. After reading through 4 times already I'm still picking up new bits of information and applying them to my game. I've noticed real improvement to my serve/backhand/tactics and am very thankful. Phenomenal job on this book!!!! From Halifax Love the the book! Looks like your book is selling like hotcakes with the badminton community. Can I get another autographed copy? May God bless you with more book sales! Liza Just got my copy. I've started reading some chapters and I would say it's a great buy! Very informative, lots of pix! sir_taufik Finally got hold of your book, I appreciated it very much, it's worth my money. Thank you very much writting such a very informative book. I hope someday you could create a video tutorial. :D I think the book is very good...I particularly like the details on the various grips and how to do the shots...it is a clear as you can make it. Arthur I love the book! It's very comprehensive and informative. Definitely the best I've seen about badminton so far. Great job! Thank you! Stephen Got a copy already..with the first few pages Ive read...it looks very helpful. I really like the step by step approach! I recommend it!!! Rina I just looked through the footwork section - it was very helpful. Now I just have to read through the rest of the book. Frank Surprisingly I have just been flipping to different topics and have not read the book entirely yet. At first glance, I find the book quite informative with good drawings and pictures. As an intermediate player, I think it will be quite helpful. I find all the descriptions of the different techniques very clear. Russell It's very good! Congratulations to you both! Steve I got the book and it is AWESOME! It's a lot better than the Steven Baddeley book I've been heaping praises on in another thread. First rate content and high quality materials make this book really worth getting and keeping. |
