  • The badminton shuttlecock has been used for thousands of years. Everyday badminton players use plastic shuttlecocks, while serious players use feathered ones. Feathers must be a specific size and have a precise angle to them. If a machine with 26 sensors can't measure the exact degree of the feather, workers must manually do so with a specially calibrated chart. The process has many steps from then on, all taking into consideration feathers' angle and the shuttlecocks overall balance.

    The shuttlecock itself is human’s important cultural heritage that’s been shared worldwide. So nice to know there’s quality control in the manufacturing process. Only in big tournaments the shuttles are damaged and replaced after few rallies but in recreational plays, we normally use it longer, don’t we. Nevertheless duck feathers, cork etc are sustainable materials - not to worry - just ask the ducks to grow the feathers more next time.

The thing is that I'm fast and a little advanced in my game (we don't play pro or any competitions or such, its only for fun) and my friend is not really on the same level as me and haven't really improved so he is at his top. He is good absolutely so some challenges sometimes but I pretty much always beat him with ordinary balls.
      He brought a tube sometimes with the good stuff, that he got due to contacts so not bought, but since I'm even better with those balls I always beat him every time. All of sudden they stopped coming and and I got the hint and thus couldn't really buy them my self instead. :)
