Will plastic badminton replace badminton?
The World Badminton Federation (BWF) opened the outdoor badminton competition for the first time in 20 19, and officially launched a plastic ball with wind resistance of three to four. Later, it was announced that in 2020 BWF would no longer use badminton with goose feathers and duck feathers, but use plastic balls in a unified way. This is called humanistic care!
The plastic ball referred to by BWF is called synthetic ball or nylon ball. This kind of ball has many shortcomings, such as the weight and strength can't reach the level of natural feathers, the light is not so hard, the hard is not so light, the hair leaves are soft, the wind resistance is not so direct when hitting the ball, the rebound is not simple, and the hair pieces are off, resulting in the center of gravity on the upper side of the ball head. When hitting the ball hard, the ball flies out of the racket face and has obvious shaking track in an instant.
