    Facilities and Equipment

    The equipment and facilities of badminton


    includes the racket, shuttlecock, court, posts and
    the net.

    1. Racket – Badminton racket is quite light and


    can be made of wood. aluminum. metal or
    synthetic materials such as graphite or carbon. A
    synthetic racket is quite popular now because of
    its extreme lightness and strength.
    A badminton racket weighs roughly 98-100 grams
    (3 1/2 oz), and is 68 cm. in length.

    PARTS OF THE RACKET


     Stringed Area – is extended to hit the shuttle. It is
    of uniform pattern and does not exceed 280 mm. (11
    in.) in length and 220 mm. in width.
     Head– bounds the stringed area.
     Throat – connects the shaft to the head.
     Shaft – connects the handle to the head
     Ferrule – firmly connects the shaft and the handle.
     Handle – is intended for a player’s grip
     Butt – is located at the tip of the handle
      Frame – includes the head, the throat, the shaft
    and the handle. It is no more than 680 mm. or wider
    than 230 mm.
    2. Shuttlecock – is the official name given to the
    shuttle or bird. It is made up of 16 goose
    feathers and is firmly fixed in a leather covered
    cork head. It weighs from 4.74-5.50 grams. It may
    be made of feathers, plastic or nylon.

    TYPES OF SHUTTLECOCK
     Feathered Shuttle  – consists of 16 goose
    feathers. Its length is 62-70 mm. It must be fastened
    firmly with thread or other suitable materials.
     Cork or Base  – shall be 25-28 mm. in diameter,
    and is rounded on the bottom.
    3. Court – although courts can be set outdoors,
    competitive badminton is generally played indoor
    where the wind and other elements will note
    affect the shuttle. The official badminton court is
    20 ft. wide, while the singles court is 17 ft. wide.

     Back-court – also called rear court. The back-


    court is 8 ft. of the court, including the back alley.
     Baseline – also called back line; back boundary
    line at each end of the end of the court parallel to the
    net and the doubles long service line.
     Long Service Line – in singles, the back boundary
    line; in doubles, the line 2 1/2 ft. inside the back
    boundary line. Any serve landing behind this line is
    out.
     Mid-Court – the middle third of the court from
    the short service line to the back third, a distance of
    about 7 1/2 ft.
     Service Shot – area into where the service must be
    declined. A service may be made to the right or left
    service court depending on the score.
     Short Service Line – the line 6 1/2 ft. from and
    parallel to the net. A serve must land on or behind it to
    be legal.
    4. Posts  –  the posts should stand 1.55 m. ( 5 ft., 1
    in.) in height from the surface of the court. They
    must be placed on the doubles sidelines. For
    singles as well as for doubles, they must also be
    firm to take the necessary tension when the net is
    strained across to its full height. There should be
    no gap between the post and the net through
    which a shuttle could pass. This can be ensured
    by the use of hooks down the inside of the ports
    and a draw-cord along the bottom of the net.
    5. Net – At all times, this should be strained
    tightly so that its height from the floor is 1.524 (5
    ft.) long at the post. A measuring rod, should be
    kept by the umpires chair to facilitate regular
    testing to ensure the net is still and its correct
    central height and has not sagged.
