A shuttlecock is used to play badminton.
History has not recorded the individual that invented the game of badminton. However, around the first century, the Chinese played a game called Battledore and Shuttlecock. This was a game where a paddle was used to hit a shuttlecock back and forth. In the 1860s folks in India used to play a game they called Poona. This was similar to the game of Battledore and Shuttlecock but a net was added to the game. Poona became popular among the elite of England and the name was changed to badminton and the first official set of rules were drawn up in the 1870s.

In badminton, a foul can occur in several ways, such as hitting the shuttlecock out of bounds, failing to serve it over the net, or obstructing an opponent's shot. Additionally, players can commit a fault by touching the net with their racket or body during play or by stepping into the opponent's court before the shuttlecock is struck. Players must also ensure that the shuttlecock is hit cleanly and not caught or carried on the racket. Violating these rules results in a point for the opposing player or team.
In a singles match in badminton, the shuttlecock can be played anywhere within the boundaries of the court. This includes the entire length of the court but only the narrow inner sidelines, as the outer sidelines are reserved for doubles play. Players can hit the shuttlecock to the front, back, and sides of the court, aiming to land it in the opponent's area while avoiding faults. Strategic placement of shots is key to winning rallies.

In badminton, a "throw" is not a standard or recognized term. However, it may refer to an illegal action where a player uses an underhand or overhand motion to propel the shuttlecock, rather than striking it with the racket. This action can result in a fault, as players must hit the shuttlecock with the racket's strings during play. Proper technique and adherence to the rules are essential for fair play in badminton.
