Badminton Racket

Badminton rackets can be made from several types of materials.


Depending on the material selection, this can result in different
combinations of racket weight, balance points and string tensions. With
so many different combinations, it will take time to decide which is
most suited for your playing style.

Shuttlecock
Sixteen feathers fixed in a cork base enveloped in a thin leather sheet make a
shuttlecock. Interestingly, the best Badminton Shuttlecocks are made from feathers
from the wing of a goose. The shuttle weighs between 4.74 to 5.50 grams.

Net
A mesh net divides the badminton court into two sides. Badminton net is
placed lower than volleyball net at five feet and one inch high on the sides and
five feet high in the center. The length may vary depending on whether doubles
or singles are playing, with singles reaching 17 feet and doubles reaching 22
feet. The net is 30 inches wide with a 3-inch white tape doubled over the top.

Facilities
The badminton court should be 44 feet long by 22 feet wide if playing
doubles, and 44 feet long by 17 feet wide for singles. If the facility is
indoors, there needs to be enough height for the shuttlecock to be able to
float across the net without hitting the ceiling. This height will vary
depending on the strength of the players.

Posts
The posts are 1.55m high from the surface of the court and remain vertical when the net
is strained. The posts are placed on the double side lines irrespective of whether
singles or doubles is played. The posts or supports must not extend into the court
beyond the side lines.
