Let's talk about how much amateur badminton lovers spend every month, at least every month. Do you still think badminton is an aristocratic sport after reading it?
Site fee
As I am a badminton enthusiast, I have certain requirements for badminton courts. Usually don't go outdoors to kill me for free. In addition to the strong wind affecting the flight trajectory of the ball, more importantly, I am easily injured. If I accidentally tilt my foot, it will not be worth the loss. Therefore, we usually choose to reserve a special venue indoors. Take Chengdu as an example. Generally, badminton courts are charged by the hour. For 50 yuan, it takes about one hour (more expensive in the afternoon and cheaper in the morning), and it usually takes two hours to play ball, so this is not a small expense. If it is a community group, the venue fee AA will be shared equally. The more people, the cheaper it is, and it is still very cost-effective. Also, if you can play in the university gymnasium, you can save a lot of money.
2. Ball and racket expenses
Badminton is the biggest consumable. If you play hard, you can break more than five goals in one game. Generally, the better meatballs are above 5 yuan, and in less than a few minutes, you burn above 25 yuan. After 2 hours, you can figure out how many balls you can break and how much it costs. Besides the ball, the racket is also a spender. Generally speaking, our amateurs are rackets with a price above 100, while those who are more particular about rackets will spend 500- 1000. Moreover, there can't be only one beat, usually two or more, because you never know when the beat will break. Moreover, many people have different pounds, weights and famous brands in different beats, and the feeling of typing is different. Therefore, buying two or three rackets is still quite expensive.
3. Shoes, bags, jerseys and other expenses
Besides rackets and balls, you have to buy shoes. You can't play with leather shoes! So athletes have to buy it, preferably professional badminton players, for hundreds of dollars! For many equipment parties, the best service is to engage in a full set. Don't you have to take care of sneakers, jerseys and pants? Buy a large-capacity ball bag to hold the baby. In addition, the racket string should be changed at least once a month, and it will probably take 50 yuan to change it once! If you pay attention to health, you can't buy any more thermos cups. So seven, seven, eight, eight together, this is a bottomless pit! The expenses are still quite large.
Summary: If you are a badminton enthusiast, you have to play at least two or three times a week for at least two hours each time, and you have your own requirements for venues and equipment, then you have to spend at least several thousand yuan on badminton every month! This is really a great pressure for the working class with an average salary of about 3000 yuan, so it is not wrong for you to say that badminton is an aristocratic sport. Of course, if you are a poor boy like me, you don't have so many requirements for venues and equipment, and you don't spend much on badminton every month. If you don't smoke, drink or socialize, you can still play badminton happily!
