it's a racket! by summerfield

it's a racket!

i am used in a projectile for this sport, where two opposing players or two pairs of opposing players score points by striking said projectile with their raquets. i am the material of choice because my unique aerodynamic property causes the projectile to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. recently this sport was much in the news because of players or teams involved in a scandal. what is the sport and what is the projectile called?
fantastic shot!!
Badminton! (if that's how you spell it...?) I don't know what the other thing is.

the game of badminton? We called it a "birdie" when we played it growing up -- but I think the real name is a "shuttle" -- if we're talking about the same game -- ! NICE shot!

Nice photo to represent badminton and the shuttlecock. Great textures!

Badminton and a shuttlecock (a.k.a. birdie I think). Nice shot- this picture looks like it could have been shot on my deck!

Nicely done Summerfield. I enjoyed playing badminton when I was growing up. I would play it at home in the back yard and at school as well
