SUKOI G2 Badminton Feather Shuttlecock

SUKOI G2 Badminton Shuttlecock is an essential piece of equipment used in the sport of badminton. They are designed to be hit back and forth over the net by players using rackets. These are made using real feathers, typically from the left wing of a goose. The feathers are embedded in a cork base and held together by a thin layer of glue. SUKOI G2 Badminton Shuttlecock often used for recreational play, training, and outdoor games. Synthetic shuttlecocks are more durable than feather shuttlecocks and are less affected by environmental conditions like humidity and temperature. They are also more cost-effective, making them a popular choice for beginners and casual players.

Badminton is a high drag game. The aerodynamic properties of badminton shuttlecocks are complex. As a bluff body, the shuttlecock generates high aerodynamic drag and steep flight trajectory. Although a series of studies on aerodynamic behaviour of spherical and ellipsoidal balls have been reported in the open literature, scant information is available in the public domain about the aerodynamic behaviour of badminton shuttlecocks. The primary objective of this work was to evaluate aerodynamic properties of a series of shuttlecocks under a range of wind speeds. The non-dimensional drag coefficient was determined and compared. The natural feather shuttlecock displayed lower drag coefficient at low speeds and significantly higher drag at high speeds. On the other hand, the synthetic shuttlecock demonstrated the opposite trends.i
