If the person (in general) is a beginner, then the aim should be practised to hit at the top part of the net, because the top part is more easier to touch the shuttlecock in the air.
In earlier times, badminton birdies, or shuttlecocks, were typically made with natural materials. The vanes were commonly crafted from feathers, often goose or duck feathers, which were attached to a cork base made from wood or a similar material. This traditional construction provided the shuttlecock with its distinctive flight characteristics, making it suitable for the game.
If you are talking about the sort you play tennis with then: racquet but Racket is often commonly used.
It is said that the most similar form of badminton was originated in ancient China, some years before Christ. It has evolved over the years, and the actual rules and regulations of the game were set in Europe around the 19th century.
When serving, make sure your feet are planted firmly, and that you bring the racket through the shuttle as close to yourself as possible. Aim to hit the shuttle at around 60 degrees to the ground and, if possible, add a wrist flick, as is often necessary in badminton, to maximize power.
You can purchase badminton equipment from any good local sports retailer. Some of the larger department stores also have sports departments, and some big supermarkets such as Walmart often have sporting equipment too.
metaloid and metal
No, its a ceramic. (Often used as a coating on metal objects.)
metal
Actually, we often use water bottles and we almost always have a towel to remove our sweat from our body. Also, we have special shoes to play in gymnasiums. I think that's it.
Zinc is often used as a sacrificial metal on iron.
Most often it is aluminum.
there are loads of ways to injure yourself in badminton, many are often small, but then again, what is the chance of killing yourself by swinging a racket? you can break your wrist (if you're stupid) or you can hit another player if doing doubles you can cut yourself if a string snaps (although very unlikely) there are loads, but personally i wouldn't query that onile, go do it yourself (again, if youre crazy, mad, derranged, or you work for jackass)
