Technology That Gets Whacked!

It may seem like rocket science and indeed t is. Who would have guessed that simple shuttlecocks that keep getting whacked form one court to another are built with almost space age technology. From trajectory to speed, build and stability, these 21st century shuttlecocks are tested to perfection before being manufactured and sent out in the market. Weight matters and so does the engineering behind it. Some shuttlecocks are actually tested the same way automobiles are tested with the help of aerodynamics. It is unbelievable how amazing the lightest and the most innocent looking sports accessory has undergone a wind tunnel test and has been mastered to perfection by scientists and engineers.
