Purchasing Badminton Supplies

If you are a beginner or intermediate player, you can go to Paragon Sports. The address is 867 Broadway, New York, NY 10003 (cross street is 18th Street, on the Northwest corner of Union Square). You should be able to get a decent racket for 40 bucks. I would also recommend purchasing grip for your racket. They tend to come in packs of three (~$5) so find some friends to split it with. : )

If you are an advanced player looking for higher quality rackets, try the NYC Badminton Club, Just stop by during their club hours or e-mail Veronica Wu at info@nycbadminton.com. They also sell shoes and restring rackets. If you tell them you are from NYU badminton, the price should be $20 for YonexBG65 strings or $15 if you have your own strings.

Equipment

NYU Badminton T-shirt

We are aiming at making one T-shirt, 1 design in every academic year. Last year, we made a black T-shirt with white words saying NYU Badminton Club at the front and with NYU Badminton logo on the back. The price of a T-shirt depends on the number of orders by members, the more we order, the better deal we can get from the T company.

Is racquet provided?

No. You have to bring your own racquet
