Badminton biomechanics: The Science of Shuttles

In a high-tech lab, the mechanics of excellence is examined. str.sg/Jy43
Jason Teh, 20, shirtless, world No. 250, is bent over and breathing hard in the biomechanics lab in the Singapore Sports Institute. The badminton player is just figuring out a little-known truth: Scientists in air-conditioned rooms might be politer than coaches but they're as ruthless. Data demands sweat.
"Smash," they order him and he rises, arches and explodes. Smash, they ask again. And again.
Teh is part of a study involving the Sport Biomechanics Team, the Singapore Badminton Association and the Japan Institute of Sports Sciences (JISS) on the new synthetic shuttlecocks.

Badminton is actually one of the easiest sports to get to a level where you can have fun for any age and gender. Try again. Of course it hard to be super good in anything in life. But it’s a fun and elegant game.
