Can I bend the racket portion more than how it came? I'm 6' tall. I still have to bend down quite a bit to pick up balls.

You shouldn't have to , the handle telescopes longer. I'm 6'2 " and it's fine for me

I'm 6 feet, and it works great! The angle is functional and probably optimal.

I have the set with the extra inch, and I am 6'3" so my guess would be you should get a shorter club. But, I love the quality of the club set in general, so with a shorter shaft it could be great for you. Also, if you use a "Moe Norman" single plane technique, which normally uses longer clubs and a stance significantly far from the ball, it might work well for you.

My GF is 5'6''-5'7'', she's athletic and chokes down on the club a little. I think your height could be a factor. It all depends on your stance. Are you upright (making you longer while addressing the ball) or do you sit down a little when you swing (more of an athletic stance)? Getting fitted by a pro is always the best bet if you are getting serious about golf. If you are just taking the sport up, these will be just fine. After you get a little better or if you think they are a little short, you can always add an extender to the end of the club with a new grip for a minimal charge.

I bent mine, not a sharp L but as shape as it let me about 18-20 inches from corner it starts to bend. I hope that makes sense.

I've never done it intentionally but we have one of the hard rubber yellow balls that has a big nick out of it. Load it the right way and it will throw a wicked curve but can't say about leaning the stand

It can be bent, but just a little. I have the same situation. If you have to bend it a lot it won't work. Also, when I say a little, I mean a little.

Hello, if you still have the red button, take the racket apart and try to put it back on. If you don't have the button or if it doesn't stay back on, I'm afraid you'll have to write it off as a loss. I have bought about 6 of those rackets for myself and others and some are better quality than others -- although in general they are rather fragile. I have had to throw at least one away after little use. I can't tell you which ones are the best. But if you order another one, choose a different model. Good thing they are so cheap! Good luck! Tim

I'm 5'1" and when we initially pumped the ball, I was able to put my feet flat on the floor. However, after a few days the instructions say to add air to the ball for maximum effectiveness. After doing so, my toes barely touch the floor.

Yes you can bend it. If you use a needle nose pliers you can bend a very small radius. It has no spring tention.

I am 5'10" and in decent shape so it's doable but can be difficult if you don't use good technique (an all in one motion). A lot of the cocking motion is in the technique but it does require some strength too. When practicing, after a half hour or so, I get tired out and cocking becomes more difficult. I've sat down on the ground before and cocked it emphasizing more of my legs and back muscles than just arm muscles.

Joe, I'm 6' 2" and it works very well for me. No bending at all. And it trails behind you such that it doesn't hit your heels as you walk.

Yes, your wrist will not be able to bend neither down or up. It works both ways due to the way it snuggles tightly and as the part laying on your wrist is not flexible.

I am a new player, so don't have much experience for comparison... I can put forward spin and back spin on the ball pretty easily... The package does dent the racket a bit but it comes out with use pretty quickly. cushion is significant in my uneducated opinion; easy to dampen the return; if anything I have to make sure I give it enough sometimes. I believe an experienced player could apply good control with the racket. We are very happy with them I believe any next upgrade steps for me would to build out my own racket from a blank as the really good players do.

Yes you will need to bend your knees. I'm 6' and have to bend my knees. Not a big deal though.

Use your strength and just do it... I though I would break mine trying too hard to unfold it, but no. It will get easier to fold/unfold over time.

I'm 5'7 and push it with ease, I have a little bend in my elbow. If you were to push it you might have your arms fully stretched out.

Hi, if you're referring to the net then yes it's possible there is some way to get it taut. However you must realize this is a recreational set and for the price you may end up having to improvise. Generally a Badminton net is 5' high in the center and 5'1" at each post. The professional nets do have more than one adjustment to get it nice and taut at the top and bottom of each end of it. Pickleball nets I've seen are easier to set up/tear down and are 34" at center with easy adjustments. Yonex is the premium brand for all things Badminton. You would do well to check it out and maybe splurge a bit, I'm guessing you want quality/longevity. G'luck!
