Badminton racquets are lightweight composed of many different materials like carbon fibre composite (graphite reinforced plastic) to solid steel. In Early time, racquets were made of light metals such as aluminium, wood before adoption of carbon fibre composite. The traditional oval head shape is still available, but an isometric head shape is increasingly common in new racquets.
Badminton strings are thin, high performing strings in the range of about 0.62 to 0.73 mm thickness. Thicker strings are more durable, but many players prefer the feel of thinner strings.It is often argued that high string tensions improve control, whereas low string tensions increase power.
A shuttlecock, sometimes called a bird or birdie is a high-drag projectile used in the sport of badminton. It has an open conical shape: the cone is formed from sixteen or so overlapping feathers, usually goose or duck and from the left wing only, embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. The name shuttlecock is frequently shortened to shuttle. The shuttlecock by size 14-15x14-15x14-15cm of weight 24-25 grams is called "Middle Shuttlecock"
