Racquets are used in the racquet sport of badminton to strike shuttlecocks over nets. "Singles" (one player per side) and "doubles" (two players per side) are the most popular versions of the game, while it can be played with larger teams. Formal matches are held on a rectangular indoor court; recreational badminton is typically played in yards or on beaches. When the shuttlecock is struck with the racquet and lands inside the opposite team's half of the court, points are scored.
Before the shuttlecock crosses the net, each side may only hit it once. The shuttlecock must hit the floor or ground to end play, or the umpire, service judge, or, in their absence, the other team may call a fault.[1] The shuttlecock is a projectile with feathers or, in non-official competitions, plastic that flies differently from balls used in other sports. Specifically, the feathers produce a lot more drag, which accelerates the shuttlecock's slowdown. Comparing shuttlecocks to the balls in other racquet sports, they also have a high top speed. The sport's unique quality is derived from the shuttlecock's flight, and in some languages—such as German—it is titled Federball, which literally means feather balls.
The game evolved from the previous battledore and shuttlecock game in British India. Denmark used to dominate play in Europe, but China has recently taken the lead in contests since the game has gained a lot of popularity in Asia. Men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, and women's doubles were the four events in badminton's 1992 Summer Olympics debut; mixed doubles was introduced four years later. At the highest levels of competition, the sport requires players to be extremely fit. These skills include aerobic endurance, agility, strength, speed, and precision. It's also a technical activity that calls for improved motor coordination and the ability to make complex racquet movements that require a lot more wrist flexibility than some other racquet sports.
