Before purchasing a badminton shuttlecock, consider whether you will be playing the game recreationally or in a tournament. There are three types: plastic, feather, and hybrid. Feather versions are used by professional players and those with intermediate experience. Although they are less durable, they are easier to control than nylon birdies. For beginners, plastic versions are more suitable as they don’t fall as quickly as feather ones. They are also durable because of their nylon material. Hybrid shuttles combine plastic and feathers. Canadian Tire offers badminton shuttlecocks in all three material types from reputable brands such as MATRIX.
What other accessories do I need for playing badminton?
Other than a good racket and set of badminton birdies, other badminton accessories include the right clothing, footwear, and net to set up court. Consider an indoor and outdoor portable net system that will allow you to take the game anywhere.
