      Do you know how to extend the life of badminton? Let’s take a look at the introduction below.

      First you need to know what ball you are using? The feather raw materials of badminton mainly include goose feathers and duck feathers. However, duck feathers are not as durable as goose feathers. The feathers are easy to break. The feathers are thinner and more brittle. They are more resistant to beating when the humidity is high. They are easy to break when the humidity is low. Goose feather balls will also be very brittle on dry days. By increasing the humidity of the feathers, the feathers' resistance to largeness can be enhanced. Use steam to steam badminton. Before playing, open the upper and lower barrel covers and let the steam of boiling water pass through the barrel.

      Due to the difference in humidity between the south and the north, the treatment of badminton should also be appropriate for the location. In southern China, the relative humidity of the air is generally above 75%, so there is no need to steam the feathers, because after steaming, the ball will increase in weight and make the flight faster. In the north, especially in winter, using steam to extend the service life of feathers still has a certain effect. Since the weather in the north is colder and the air density is relatively high, even if the badminton adds a little weight, the flight speed will be faster, but the air resistance will also be larger, so the flight speed will not change too much.

      Through the introduction of this article, have you understood how to extend the service life of badminton? Another tip when buying a ball: Look at the thickness of the feather pole, thicker ones will generally be stronger. A ball that gets slower and slower is generally a good ball.
