Gear recommendations for basketball, badminton, running, and more what to buy, what to skip, and what the regulars actually use.
NIT Agartala has an active basketball club also known as Hoopers NITA. Here's are few essentials that you need before playing basketball.
When to buy?
- Complete beginner
- Tight Budget
I don't recommend going below range. Upgrade your shoes only when gamplay improves.
MUST WEAR !
But if you already own something similar there's no need to buy. Any comfortable, breathable sports short works fine on the court.
Essential. Any sports jersey is fine the key thing is that it doesn't absorb and hold sweat. Look for polyester/mesh fabric that releases moisture quickly. Any brand works.
Any sports socks work, just make sure you have at least 3 pairs. Sounds trivial, but you'll thank yourself later. Having enough pairs means you're never stuck with wet socks before a game.
Shoes, badminton gear, and other sports essentials used on campus.
If you're an absolute beginner, this is the right place to start. You can go cheaper, but think of this as an investment you can always resell it later. Good enough to develop your game.
Before buying, ask a senior who plays badminton regularly or just observe what the "regulars" on court are wearing. Badminton-specific shoes make a real difference on the court vs. generic sports shoes.
