Session 1
The shuttlecock and the racket THEORETICAL MATERIAL The shuttlecock and the racket are two basic elements for the badminton game. On one hand, the shuttlecock is made up of 16 feathers, which remain attached to the cork base through a very resistant thread. You can find both natural and synthetic shuttlecocks made of plastic and nylon, the latter being more resistant over time and less expensive. On the other hand, the racket is made up of the handle, the shaft and the head. To make a good grip on the racket it will be necessary to take the handle with the preferred hand and close it all over that handle, maintaining the correct pressure (more pressure when hitting the shuttlecock, and less the rest of the time).
