Lähde: BWF Coaches' Manual L1, Module 1 · muistaminen
In British usage the side strips are the tramlines (also alleys).
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen

Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Nylon is cheapest; goose feather is the premium choice.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen

Testi 5How a shuttle fliesTee testi
The skirt acts like a tail, so the base flies first.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
The feathered skirt causes strong drag, so the shuttle slows quickly.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Having lost most of its speed, the shuttle falls steeply.
Lähde: General badminton reference · soveltaminen
Smashes start at very high speed and point downwards.
Lähde: General badminton reference · soveltaminen
Moving air carries the light shuttle sideways or short.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
The skirt's drag flips the shuttle so the base leads.
Lähde: General badminton reference · soveltaminen
Heavy drag makes the shuttle's flight short and steep at the end.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
The shuttle slows, turns and drops steeply.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Drives are flat; defensive clears go highest.
Lähde: BWF Coaches' Manual L1, Module 7 · muistaminen
Drag slows the shuttle all the way, so it is slowest near the end.
Lähde: General badminton reference · soveltaminen
Testi 6Choosing shuttle speedTee testi
Manufacturers grade feathered shuttles by speed.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Warm air lets a shuttle fly further, so a slower grade is used.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Thinner air means less drag, so shuttles fly further.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
A full underhand hit from the back line shows where it lands.
Lähde: BWF Laws of Badminton 2027 (player's view), Law 3 · muistaminen
A shuttle that falls short is too slow for the conditions.
Lähde: BWF Laws of Badminton 2027 (player's view), Law 3 · soveltaminen
Cold, dense air slows shuttles, so a faster grade is picked.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
At events the Referee decides the speed of shuttles used.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Heat and altitude make shuttles fly further, so slower grades are used.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
A quick test before play shows if the speed suits the hall.
Lähde: BWF Laws of Badminton 2027 (player's view), Law 3 · muistaminen
Warm air makes the shuttle carry, so the slowest grade suits.
Lähde: General badminton reference · soveltaminen
Testi 7Rackets and their partsTee testi
The handle is where the player grips.
Lähde: BWF Laws of Badminton 2027 (player's view), Law 4.1.1 · muistaminen

Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
The U scale shows weight; 4U is lighter than 3U.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
More weight in the head adds power; head-light rackets are quicker.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Head-light rackets swing faster for quick exchanges.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen

Testi 8Strings and gripTee testi
Tension is the pull put on the strings when the racket is strung.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Tension is mostly given in pounds or kilograms.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Lower tensions are more forgiving for off-centre hits.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Tighter strings give precise control to accurate hitters.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
Players wrap an overgrip or towel grip over the handle for feel and sweat.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
A worn, sweaty grip can slip in the hand.
Lähde: General badminton reference · muistaminen
A relaxed handshake-style grip lets the wrist and fingers work.
