newbie equipment?

[FireFox]

I'm as "newbie" as you can get. I am 36yrs old and haven't played since I was 10. I've played tennis and alot of racquet ball since. Now, I'm back in a place where the nearest tennis court or racquet ball court is at least 40mins drive one way . I do, however, have plenty of land for badminton. My question is what kit to start with. I know I don't want any of the k-mart/wal-mart, etc kits. After a few hours of looking I was strongly considering this kit: http://www.badmintonsource.com/badmi...rnamentset.cfm

I understand that the birds that come with kits leave a lot to be desired, and will buy a can or two of good ones, but my main concern is the strength and stability of the net system.

Any help would be appriceated

Hey guy, in my opinion, if you just play badminton for fun or health care, there's no need to choose a kit for Tournament.
Otherwise, a kit like this may suit one scene or one level, but you level may be developed and the scene may be changed as well. To make your equipment more flexible, I suggest you assemble different items suits you well instead purchase a kit.
As you have not played for many years, a graphite racquets may help you remember the way you play. No need to be expensive but must be useful and suits you.

Birdie for Club Training is enough for you.

Also, don't spend too much on badminton net which seldom influences the game.

All of above are just some examples. You should choose your equipment according to your style. I always emphasis that thing suits you is best to you!

If it's not that competitive, any will do. Even just make up kits. Just have a good shuttlecock in there.
