I started playing badminton two years ago and often join different meetup groups. I wanted to learn badminton professionally but couldn't afford group training. Watching YouTube videos helped, but I struggled to practice on my own. Since discovering the Power Strike training machine, I've been able to train solo and improve my skills. The ability to train at my own pace and on my own schedule has been super convenient.
