Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The game of badminton is superficially similar to that of tennis. Players at opposite ends of the court aim to hit a shuttlecock, more informally called a birdie, over the net so that it lands inside the marked boundaries of the court, and aim to prevent their opponents from doing the same. Unlike a tennis ball, the shuttlecock flies with a lot of drag, and will not bounce significantly. The shuttlecock is always volleyed, and a point ends as soon as it touches the ground. Badminton racquets have long handles, to make it easier to impart a great deal of momentum to overcome the drag. The racquets are also much lighter than tennis racquets, because the shuttlecock is light. Badminton is the fastest sport in the world with shuttles reaching speeds of up to 332 km/h. Fu Haifeng of China set the unofficial record July 3, 2005.
