WYSONG PRACTICE
BADMINTON STATION™
Some time ago someone expressed interest in a automatic badminton
feeding
machine. This is to inform you that now, after over four years
in
development, we have finished our first production model and others are
in
preliminary assembly stages.
The machine has gone through much
revision to create a product that would be
as simple and reliable as
possible, yet perform essentially every function a
coach who is feeding
shuttlecocks could do...and more.
The machine will
precisely:
>Clear
>Drive
>Drop
>Serve
>Smash
>Net(dink)
Controls
include speed (distance), rate (shuttles per minute) and a
wireless
on/off switch.
The unit is lightweight and
portable. The base is a cart on casters, and the
carrousel holding the
shuttles removes easily for refilling. The machine
(weighing only 25
lbs.) lifts off a pedestal mounted to the top of the cart
for
portability.
The unit doubles as a training station for serving by
removing the machine
from the table pedestal and replacing it with an adapter
that the carousel can
then be mounted to(See model to right in photo).
By placing the cart with the
mounted carrousel holding the shuttlecocks next
to the server, hundreds of
birds are within easy reach for
practice.
The carrousel holds 250 plastic or feather shuttlecocks.
Additional
carrousels are available as an option so that while the machine is
running,
another carrousel can be filled to be ready when the first is
empty. This can
create non-stop feeding. A special telescoping rake is
included to permit
gathering the birds into a pile for easy reloading of the
carrousel.
This is a beautiful device and fascinating to watch operate.
Its body is made
of clear space age polymers which permit direct viewing of
all operations.
Everything is also modular so that if repair is needed, parts
can be easily
removed for service or replacement.
We guarantee
satisfaction. If you order it and do not find it to be
everything you
have dreamed of for a perfect feeding coach, return it in
resaleable
condition within thirty days and your money will be refunded minus
shipping
costs.
Each machine is individually hand-crafted and guaranteed for one
year, parts
and labor, for any defect other than normal wear.
Price:
$3,795.00 plus shipping (compare to the only other one we know of that
is
being made [in Europe] for $15,000!). This is a special introductory
offer
and does not begin to cover manufacturing and development costs.
We offer it
out of a love for badminton and the belief that it can do much to
advance the
sport.
If there is significant interest in the machine, we
have also developed a
computer controlled prototype permitting programming of
an infinite array of
drills. But this machine will not be taken into
production until it is clear
that there is the level of demand justifying its
final engineering and
manufacture.
Club owners, rent it by the
hour and it will pay for itself over and over.
This is not to mention its
ability to train players rapidly so that their
enthusiasm for the sport is
greatly fanned. Also consider the possibilities
with contests using the
machine, or the ease for coaches to train youngsters
or new
enthusiasts. For the advanced player or novice alike, this is a
totally
unique tool that can greatly enhance skills in a short period of
time.

WYSONG PORTABLE
BADMINTON COURT™
The Wysong Portable Badminton Court permits quick
set-up of a regulation-size court on any hard
surface.
Components:
- Perimeter doubles court lines
plus side singles lines, all contiguous. Lines are flat ?" bright orange
nylon.
- Convenient durable reel dispenser stores the court line system to
prevent wrinkles and keep line system flat for reuse.
- Vinyl ?" orange easy
on/off tape is used to mark the long doubles service line and midline.
-
Vinyl 2" clear easy on/off tape is used to hold corners of the court in
place.
Limitations and Precautions:
The portable
court system is designed for temporary portable use. Although the use of tape
for lines in the concentrated center areas of play greatly reduces line
movement, the perimeter portable lines are loose on the floor and can be moved
by feet in play. Adjustments, tensioning, and retaping may be necessary from
time to time. Tripping is also possible and awareness of this possibility should
cause vigilance in keeping the lines secured flat to the floor.
