4.75 to 5.50 g (0.168 to 0.194
oz).

It has 16 feathers with each

feather 62 to 70 mm (2.4 to
2.8 in) in length, and the
diameter of the cork is 25 to
28 mm (0.98 to 1.10 in).

The diameter of the circle

that the feathers make is
around 58 to 68 mm (2.3 to
2.7 in).
Badminton Racket
Frame
The frame is the
body of the racket.
It is consisting of
the stringed area,
shaft, throat, and
the head of the
racket.
Head
The head of the
badminton racket is the
piece of material that
holds the strings in
position. It can have a
rounded or oval shape
and has holes on the
perimeter where the
strings are laced
together.
Stringed Area
The stringed area
consists of carbon fiber
or nylon string that’s
interwoven. This allows
the strings to make the
face of the racket.
Throat
The throat connects the
head to the shaft of the
racket. It might be a separate
triangular piece that’s at the
base of the head, or might be
integrated into the racket’s
head itself.
Shaft
The shaft is located
in the center of the
badminton racket. They
usually come in two
types the Flexible or
Rigid.
Handle
The handle connects to the
shaft and is used to hold the
racket. The handle is covered with
a material called the grip. There
are two types of grips: towel grips
are good for absorbing moisture,
but may need to be changed
frequently; synthetic grips are less
absorbent but more durable.
The Game
Badminton begins with a coin toss.
The team to correctly call heads or tails gets to choose to
serve first or to allow the other team to serve first.
The player to serve must land the birdie inside the service
court opposite of where he or she is standing.
 So if the server's score is odd, he will serve from
the left court. If the server’s score is even, he will
serve from the right
Both the server and the receiver must stay inside
their service courts until the birdie is served.

The first team to reach 21 points wins the game.

However, the winning team must win by two
points.
In the case of a tie (20 points each), the first team
to score two additional points is the winner.

The first team to reach 30 points is the winner, no

matter what the other team has scored.

The first team to win two out of three games wins

the match.
