KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 27 — All national badminton players have been advised to get used to synthetic shuttlecocks as quickly as possible to ensure that they will not face any problem when the use of the synthetic shuttlecocks is implemented in all tournaments from next year. “We know that the Badminton World Federation wants to use the synthetic shuttlecocks from next year, and the supply should have been made available now, so we will use it interchangeably with the traditional feather shuttlecocks during our training.“I’m sure many players will feel disappointed, but they have to get over it and start practising with the synthetic shuttlecocks until they get better at it,” he said.
The BWF, in a statement issued on January 20, said its research and development unit had been carrying out extensive testing of various prototypes with Yonex over the last few years and that the experiments showed that the synthetic feather shuttle could reduce shuttlecock usage by up to 25 per cent, providing a significant environmental and economic edge for badminton.
