    BADMINTON EQUIPMENTS
    Racket

    The badminton racket is one of the


    most important tools a player has in the game.
    Badminton rackets are much lighter than most
    other sports rackets because they are made
    from materials such as carbon fiber or lighter
    metals such as aluminum. Parts of the racket
    include the head, throat, shaft and handle
    with a maximum length of 27.77 inches and a
    width of 9 inches. It Strings that are stretched
    across the opening of the racket in a
    checkerboard pattern, which acts as the
    hitting surface. Badminton rackets can vary
    widely in cost depending on whether they are purchased as part of a basic
    backyard set or as more expensive professional models.

    Shuttlecock

    The badminton shuttlecock also referred to


    as a shuttle or birdie, acts similarly to a ball in other
    racket sports. However, the design of the birdie
    creates more drag as it is propelled through the air
    due to its feathered shape. The shuttlecock is made
    up of a cone shape with a hard cork at its tip.
    Shuttlecocks can be made from a variety of
    materials -- more expensive models are actually
    made from feathers, and less expensive models are
    made from plastic feathers. The shuttle has 16
    feathers attached to the base and the length of the
    feathers range between 2.44 and 2.75 inches.
    Net

    A mesh net divides the badminton court into


    two sides. A badminton net is placed lower than a
    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.

    Posts

    The posts that hold the net


    on either side of the court must be
    5 feet tall and must stay vertical
    after stringing the net. The net
    must tie to the net posts so no gap
    appears between the net and the
    post.

    Wristband and headband

    Well, they may be purchased or may not


    be. They are not too mandatory as long as you
    have long hair that disturbs your play. For
    some, they work as fashion accessories. Many
    players, therefore get these bands for the
    “good feel” factor. After all, badminton players
    with wristbands and headbands do look super
    cool. Nevertheless, we can’t deny the fact that
    wrist bands do help you in preventing the sweat flowing to the handle of your
    racket and that the headband helps the sweat from getting into your eyes.
