There are two main types of shuttlecocks : feather and plastic (nylon). Feather shuttlecocks are made from 16 overlapping goose or duck feathers attached to a cork base. They offer excellent flight stability, accuracy, and control, making them ideal for professional play, though they are fragile and wear out quickly. Plastic or nylon shuttlecocks, made from synthetic materials, are more durable and suitable for beginners or recreational players. They are less affected by temperature and humidity but provide slower flight and less precision. Some hybrid shuttlecocks combine feather and synthetic materials to balance durability and performance.
