The primary equipment used in the sport of badminton is the racket and the shuttlecock. The racket is lightweight and designed for quick maneuverability, allowing players to generate speed and precision when hitting the shuttlecock. The shuttlecock, made of feathers or synthetic materials, is uniquely designed to make aerodynamics a key factor in gameplay. Badminton can be played both indoors and outdoors, but it’s most commonly played in indoor courts for controlled conditions, making these pieces of equipment essential for successful play.
