- composed
different materials such as carbon fibre
composite or graphite reinforced plastic to
solid steel.
- made of light
metals such as aluminium before carbon
fiber composite was adopted. Nowadays,
racquets are being applied to nanomaterials
such as carbon nanotubes and fullerene
which give them greater durability.

- strings are thin, high-performance
strings with thicknesses varying from
around 0.62 to 0.73 mm. Thicker strings
may last longer but many players prefer
the thinner strings.
- string tension ranges from 80 to 160 N
(18 to 36 lbf). Recreational players
generally string at lower tensions ranges
between 80 and 110 N (18 and 25 lbf).
Professionals’ string ranges about 110
and 160 N (25 and 36 lbf).
3. BADMINTON SHUTTLECOCK
- A shuttlecock (“birdie”) is a high lift shot,
with an open conical shape shaped by
sixteen (16) overlapping feathers embedded
in a rounded cork base covered with thin
leather or synthetic material. Typically, it
weighed about 0.17 ounces (5 grams).
TYPES OF SHUTTLECOCK

soles or similar high-grip, non-marking
materials and have no lateral support as

halves using a net.
- measurement is 6.1 meters wide or
20 ft. wide and 13.4 meters or 44 ft. long but
the width is reduced to 5.18 meters or 17 ft
in single. A middle line dividing the width
of the court, a short service line at a distance
of 1.98 meters (6 feet 6 inches) from the
field, and the outer and back borders
separate the service courts. In doubles the
service court is also marked by a long
service line from the back boundary, which
is 0.76 meters (2 ft 6 inches).

edges and 1.524 meters high at the middle.
And when singles are
