White Badminton shuttlecock

A white badminton shuttlecock is a high-performance sporting equipment used in the game of badminton. It is designed for both recreational and competitive play, providing excellent flight stability and control. The shuttlecock typically consists of a cone-shaped skirt made from either feathers or synthetic materials, and a cork base, which is usually made of natural cork or composite material for durability and a consistent bounce.
Feathers vs. Synthetic:
Feathered shuttlecocks are preferred in professional play for their superior flight characteristics. They are made from goose or duck feathers, which are carefully selected for their uniformity and strength. These feathers are attached to the cork base and arranged in a circular pattern to form the skirt. Feathered shuttlecocks tend to provide a more natural flight path, and they can be used for faster-paced games. However, they are less durable and can break down after repeated use, especially on rough surfaces or in high-speed shots
Synthetic shuttlecocks are made from nylon or plastic materials and are more durable, making them suitable for practice or casual play. While they are more resistant to wear and tear and perform well in varying weather conditions, their flight trajectory is often less stable and slower compared to feathered shuttlecocks.
