How to improve quickly in badminton?

Beyond the club and classes, here are the key levers for improvement:

• Adapted equipment — a racket that is too heavy or too stiff hinders progress
• Regular stringing — a worn string loses 20-30% of its performance
• Badminton shoes — general sports shoes are insufficient; badminton shoes have a specific gum sole for wooden courts
• Consistency — a minimum of 2 sessions per week to make significant progress
