Badminton Bags

It's not an essential to have a racket bag to play badminton, but if you have one, you'll be able protect your badminton racket from damage. Badminton rackets can be quite fragile, so it makes sense to get a padded bag to protect yours. Many bags have room for shuttlecocks and clothing too, so you can pack all your badminton kit in one handy receptacle. Then you can just grab your badminton bag and go when you’re next heading out for a game.

If you choose a specialist badminton bag, you'll find it has compartments shaped specifically to accommodate badminton rackets. That's the most effective way to protect them. You can get a bag for just one racket or for several, and you can choose a bag that's just for rackets or one that can hold other kit too. Some badminton bags are large, with plenty of space for rackets, balls, shuttlecocks, clothing and a bottle of water. Others are more compact. Try a backpack if you carry frequently carry your kit on foot or by bike. There's more space in a holdall style bag. An alternative is to buy a multisports bag if you want to use it to carry kit for different sports on some occasions.

Or if you approach your game like a pro, you can buy a bag for up to fifteen rackets! What else do you want to carry with you?

You can use a multisports bag for badminton. But we don't recommend a bag designed for tennis, though you could use one in theory. Because tennis rackets are bigger and more robust than badminton rackets, you won't get the same level of protection and secure carriage for your badminton racket in a bag that's designed for tennis.
