Shuttlecock: The progress of shuttlecock

The progress of shuttlecock design is driven by the pursuit of excellence in badminton equipment. Manufacturers engage in research and development to enhance shuttlecock performance, addressing factors such as flight stability, durability, and environmental sustainability. A shuttlecock is a cone-shaped projectile used in badminton, made of feathers or synthetic materials, crucial for gameplay and scoring. A shuttlecock (also called a birdie or shuttle, or ball) is a high-drag projectile used in multiple sports, most notably badminton. It has an open conical shape formed by feathers or a synthetic material, such as plastic, embedded into a rounded cork (or rubber) base.
