A badminton racket must not exceed 230mm in width or 680mm in length. Racket attributes like weight, balance, flexibility, durability, and price should be considered when choosing. Lighter rackets are easier to swing but provide less power, while heavier handles provide more control. Flexible rackets give more control while stiff rackets provide more power. Badminton shoes should be light, grippy, and cushioned for movement during play. Attire should be loose and lightweight without restricting movement. A shuttlecock is made of 16 feathers in a cork base and comes in different speeds, flying faster in hot and high-altitude conditions and requiring damp storage.
