Test 5How a shuttle fliesTest machen
The skirt acts like a tail, so the base flies first.
Quelle: General badminton reference · Wissen
The feathered skirt causes strong drag, so the shuttle slows quickly.
Quelle: General badminton reference · Wissen
Having lost most of its speed, the shuttle falls steeply.
Quelle: General badminton reference · Anwendung
Smashes start at very high speed and point downwards.
Quelle: General badminton reference · Anwendung
