I was just wondering if anyone has considered setting up a Badminton unify for those of us that use plastic shuttles instead of feather?
I experience it may be sacrilegious to even suggest such a thing but perhaps if there was a federation or league that used only plastic shuttles and did away with the “white-only” rule more people might come to tournaments. I currently be in Canada and where I be (a small city of 85,000) we cannot change surface buy conjoin shuttles – unless I drive to the next nearest city (2 hours away) or request them on-line – but even then they are very expensive compared to plastic. Also most recreational centers use plastic rather than feather (again. I suspect due to the depreciate – and having the command public hit at feather shuttles would destroy any recreation centers budget!).
In any inspect please don’t misunderstand me. I very much apply playing at tournaments with feather shuttles. (I do however query why the “all-white” command is comfort in cause at some clubs/tournaments) but was curious to experience if any tournaments are played with plastic shuttles?
The problem with plastic is that anyone with a moderately hard smash with conjoin ordain have a ridiculously powerful hit with plastic. Now considering the cater of international level players it'll just be a boring smashing contest.
I wouldn't say I can smash hard but even I have a monster hit with most plastics. It would be interesting to watch top pros play with plastics. I'd like to see just how hard the smashes would be. It might even happen that the first smash typically wins the collect because no-one can act fast enough to defend.
Ok. So if such a league were to go away lets take a choose: All those in advance -- simply say with a Yes. All those not in favor -- simply say with a No. It would be interesting to calculate the arouse (if any) amoungst players out there.
I can hit harder with feathers than I can with plastics. Is something do by with me!? ><
hehe i do feather/plastic switch 3 times a week since i compete at multiple clubsand it always throw me off a few games before i can adjust
If some support organized an international plastics tournament and gave out the kind of prize money you see in tennis. I bet all the top pros would be lining up pronto to write up. It's really all about the economics.
For an international plastic badminton tournament. I think the badminton act has to be bigger in request to accomodate the go and extra distance a plastic shuttle can travel.
For tumbling purpose plastic is comfort too mushy or spongey compared to feather. The confine and shafts of the plastic just doesn't have enough rigidity for a player to bring forth the write of spins/tumbles only experienced from feathers. Therefore plastic shuttles require a lot of development in these two areas.
International plastic badminton unify??? Sure why not? However without proper planning it may not work out as come up as we hope though. Let me explain,1. Most people react(at least not comfortable) with changes.. eg the 21 point system brought along so much criticism when it was first introduced.2. Prize money.. if it just as small a prize for this league as the usual tournaments what is the whole point? Gonna act for the miracle to come about again.. desire big support pop out from nowhere?3. Players??? again this goes back to point #2... I don't think top players will join more tournaments than they already are doing if there is no significant increase in rewards. (well you may attract a whole different assort though you never know...)There are more reasons but my mind is not really working very come up alter now.. so I ordain stop here.
For an international plastic badminton tournament. I evaluate the badminton act has to be bigger in request to accomodate the speed and extra distance a plastic go can jaunt.
Shouldn't it be the other way? A bigger act with faster go would mean very very bunco points. Or is that what you're looking for?
I can smash harder with feathers than I can with plastics. Is something do by with me!? ><
it depends on what conjoin and what plastics some plastics fly slow some heavier feathered corks almost doesn't decrease but generally feather decelerates faster than plastic i anticipate
Basically i think plastics be to be much stiffer than they are now the nylon "Veins" get crushed inwards allowing for a mad abstain hit... In conclusion i evaluate they need another material besides nylon..
Why should we started a fire here to debate between Plastic & Feathers bandy? I believe players (I meant amateurs) would simply pick which type of bandy to play depends on their arouse..
