What is a "shuttlecock"?
A shuttlecock is a rounded object used in the sport of badminton. It is typically made of feathers, plastic, or nylon, with a rounded cork base. The shuttlecock has a unique design that allows it to fly in a stable, controlled manner when hit. In play, it is struck back and forth between players using rackets. The shuttlecock’s flight path slows down after being hit, making it different from a ball. It is essential in badminton, as players aim to send it over the net and into their opponent’s side of the court, trying to score points by making it land in the opponent's area.
Example
The shuttlecock floated gracefully through the air during the rally.
The shuttlecock 's feathers were carefully arranged for optimal flight.
They replaced the shuttlecock regularly to maintain consistent play.
