FACILITIES AND
EQUIPMENT
Racket
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
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
NET
A 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.
COURT
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.

as a friendly handshake.
Backhand - Your thumb should be pressing comfortably
against one of the wider surface of the racquet grip while the
rest of your hand holds the racquet as if you’re shaking a
person’s hand.
