Badminton is distinguished from other racquet sports, all of which use a ball of some size, by two features: the use of a shuttlecock (birdie) and the fact the shuttlecock cannot touch the ground during a rally. It’s also considered the world’s fastest racquet sport since the shuttlecock (a small bouncy ball with a cone of feathers glued to it) can leave a player’s racquet at a mind boggling 200 miles per hour!
Competitive badminton is far different from the game played in the backyard at family gatherings. Similar to tennis, it is played with two to four players (singles or doubles). The shuttlecock is volleyed over a five-foot high, narrow net and only the serving team scores points.
