tennis...
A racket is a sports implement consisting of a handled frame with an open hoop across which a network of cord is stretched tightly. It is used for striking a ball in such games as squash, tennis, racquetball, and badminton
Badminton is a very fast sport, and as such the rackets used are a lot lighter than in other sports such as tennis and squash.They generally consist of a handle, a shaft and a head. The whole length of the racket can be no greater than 68cm, and the width no greater than 23cm.The head of the racket is made up of a frame and the strings, which are usually made from nylon (though can actually be made from sheep or cow gut).
Because it is safe sports than other games
Not all people like badminton but it can be a healthy sport to play.
Football is probably more popular as a spectator sport than any of the other sports listed. It seems likely that golf is more popular as a participant sport than any of the other sports listed.
Well, Badminton is one. Other than that, I'm sure they play... things like skiing or ice-skating or hockey. Probably hockey.
RacketThe badminton racket is one of the most important tools a player has in the game. Badminton rackets are much lighter than most other sports rackets because they are made from materials such as carbon fiber or lighter metals such as aluminum. Strings that are stretched across the opening of the racket in a checkerboard pattern, which acts as the hitting surface. Badminton rackets can vary widely in cost depending on whether they are purchased as part of a basic backyard set or as more expensive professional models. ShuttlecockThe badminton shuttlecock, also referred to as a birdie, acts similarly to a ball in other racket sports. However, the design of the birdie creates more drag as it is propelled through the air due to its feathered shape. The shuttlecock is made up of a cone shape with a hard cork at its tip. Shuttlecocks can be made from a variety of materials -- more expensive models are actually made from feathers, and less expensive models are made from plastic. NetThe net divides the badminton court into two sides. A badminton net is placed lower than a volleyball net at five feet and one inches high on the sides and five feet high in the center. The net length may vary depending on whether doubles or singles are playing, with singles reaching 17 feet and doubles reaching 22 feet. FacilitiesThe badminton court should be 44 feet long by 22 feet wide if playing doubles, and 44 feet long by 17 feet wide for singles. If the facility is indoors, there needs to be enough height for the shuttlecock to be able to float across the net without hitting the ceiling. This height will vary depending on the strength of the players.
The national sport of Indonesia is badminton. However traditional sports exist, such as sepak takraw (a form of soccer played without the ball touching the ground and a ball made of reeds)
Because some sports are more exiting and interesting than others and some sports like basketball and football have amazing athletes that can do things that almost no athletes in any other sports can do so people want to see that and the media wants viewers and they're not going to get viewers if they're always covering the WNBA and badminton.
Some women and men have competed with each other in, badminton horse trials and sailing. I don't know of any other sports in which they have competed in together?Marriage. Life in general, really.
badminton is not so popular, as it is only a minority sport. in America very few people watch badminton or even know that the badminton us open existed!!! the reason for badmintons unpopularity is because of the lack of media attention. other sports such as football have mass media attention daily, always keeping in everybodys eyes, promoting the sport. badminton however has hardly any coverage, even for tournaments.AnswerThis is only true in North America maybe in US since most of the popularity are focused in the big sports such as football, baseball, basketball, hockey, etc... And it's true if you measure how many people actually watch such events related to those sports. In other countries such as in Asia badminton is a lot more popular. There are millions of millions of people playing badminton every day in Korea/China and other Asian countries and many popular players also.I think it goes the same thing in Europe as well...I just got some stat and it says badminton is the most popular sport next to soccor in the world!Real AnswerBadminton is the second most played sport in the world next to soccer.
