a badminton racket, a shuttlecock and sometimes people use a net
it does not use a ball
You need a birdie (to hit with) & you obviously need a racket. :)
Playing badminton follows the same rules as tennis, except that instead of a tennis ball, you use a birdie (which moves much more slowly) and instead of a tennis racket you use a badminton racket (which is pretty much the same thing). You have to hit the birdie so that it goes over the net, but not out of bounds. Simple.
In order to smack the shuttlecock one must move. Badminton is like tennis on a harder ground. The way you use the racket is bit different from tennis, but it has the same idea.
So you can hit the birdie. If you dont have the racket then you cant play!! One of the materials that u will need
Squash. Others include tennis and racquetball, but the ball is not as small as in squash and is not black. Tabletennis uses a very small bat and ball also. (Also Handball uses a similar ball and similar court to squash, but is hit with a gloved hand)
Players use a racket in several sports, including: **Tennis** – Played on various surfaces (grass, clay, hard court), players hit a ball over a net using a racket. **Badminton** – Players use a lightweight racket to hit a shuttlecock over a net. **Squash** – Played in a four-walled court where players hit a rubber ball against a wall. **Table Tennis (Ping Pong)** – Players use small paddles or rackets to hit a ball across a table. **Racquetball** – Similar to squash, players hit a ball in an enclosed court with a racket. Each sport has specific types of rackets designed for the gameplay and rules.
Two of the most common sports that use rackets are Badminton and paddle ball. Also, tennis and pickle ball are common sports that use a racket.
Here are the parts with their 'use' (you asked about their 'meanings' but I guess you're referring to their 'use') GRIP: used to hold the racket SHAFT: connects the grip and the racket head (the stiffer the shaft, the faster the racket will hit the shuttle or unbend. This is effective if you have a powerful and fast stroke) THROAT (if present): connects the shaft and the head RACKET HEAD: This is the stringing area The shaft, plus the handle and the head are called The Frame.
Minimally, a shuttlecock, two players, two badminton racquets, some space, and a freestanding net dividing the space. Use the Link to learn about equipment specifications, rules, and laws that govern the sport of Badminton.
Unlike many racquet sports, badminton does not use a ball: badminton uses a feathered projectile known as a shuttlecock. Since the shuttlecock is strongly affected by wind, competitive badminton is always played indoors.
