DIY Wiimote Badminton And Tennis Rackets

by Patrick on July 2nd, 2007

Sometimes you just have to save yourself the trouble of buying some not-so-great third party Wii Sports accessories by strapping your Wii remotes to your own badmintion or tennis rackets using rubber bands and use them for actual Wii Sports Tennis games. But I don’t recommend to use them as guns, for Resident Evil 4, perhaps?

    I place more trust in my hands than several rubber bands. While the idea is good, the execution needs some work. Those bands could easily come undone.

    The result? Another case of domestic violence. :P

    How would you get rubber bands through the strings? Those look like zip-ties to me. Very strong.
