I am into playing badminton
especially doubles
Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to
hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger
teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" (with one player
per side) and "doubles" (with two players per side). Badminton is often
played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach; formal
games are played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are scored by
striking the shuttlecock with the racquet and landing it within the
opposing side's half of the court. Each side may only strike the
shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. Play ends once the
shuttlecock has struck the floor or if a fault has been called by the
umpire, service judge, or (in their absence) the opposing side. The
shuttlecock is a feathered or (in informal matches) plastic projectile
which flies differently from the balls used in many other sports. In
particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the
shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly. Shuttlecocks also have a high
top speed compared to the balls in other racquet sports. The flight of
the shuttlecock gives the sport its distinctive nature.
