Badminton Shuttlecock

Badminton shuttlecocks are a type of equipment used in the sport of badminton. They are small, lightweight projectiles that are hit back and forth across the net during a game.

Shuttlecocks consist of a rounded cork or rubber base, which is covered with a series of feathers or synthetic materials. The feathers or materials are arranged in a cone shape, with the base serving as the weight and stability for the shuttlecock.

The purpose of the shuttlecock is to provide a stable and predictable flight path when hit by the players' racquets. The feathers or materials create drag and slow down the shuttlecock's speed, allowing for more control and accuracy during gameplay.

Badminton shuttlecocks are designed to be durable and withstand the impact of being hit repeatedly. They come in different grades, with higher-grade shuttlecocks typically being used in professional or competitive play due to their superior flight characteristics.

In the supply class Athletic And Sporting Equipment, badminton shuttlecocks are categorized as part of the equipment used for recreational and athletic activities. They are essential for playing badminton and can be found in various sporting goods stores or online retailers.
