Many of us know how to play badminton. However, do you know how fast is the speed of shuttlecock?

Badminton is the fastest ball sport in the world. Mads Pieler Kolding, a Danish male player, achieved the fastest hit with 426km/h in one of the matches of 2017 India Badminton Premier League. It was as fast as the top speed of a Formula 1 race car and broke the Guinness World Records. Therefore, we should not underestimate the shuttlecock that made of 16 goose or duck feathers.
