Materials Used In Shuttlecock:
Shuttle is made of either natural or synthetic material. Feathered shuttle is natural while plastic shuttle is synthetic. The characteristics of both shuttles are different.

• Feathered shuttle are brittle and more prone to damage. It need to be replaced several times during a game. That's why shuttles made of synthetic materials like plastic are frequently used these days. But feathered shuttlecocks can be controlled easily so experienced players prefer feathered shuttle over plastic ones.
• Plastic shuttles are very durable and last many matches without any impairment to the flight. Plastic shuttles can be hit hardly.
