Badminton court dimensions

Equipment and dimensions

  • Court:
    • Width: 6.1 metres (20 ft), and in singles this width is reduced to 5.18 metres (17 ft).
    • Lenght: 13.4 metres (44 ft).
  • Net:
    • Height at the edges: 1.55 metres (5 ft 1 inch)
    • Height in the centre: 1.524 metres (5 ft)
  • Racquets:
    • Badminton racquets are lightweight, with top quality racquets weighing between 70 and 95 grams (2.5 and 3.4 ounces) not including grip or strings.
    • They are composed of many different materials ranging from carbon fibre composite (graphite reinforced plastic) to solid steel, which may be augmented by a variety of materials.
    • Carbon fibre has an excellent strength to weight ratio, is stiff, and gives excellent kinetic energy transfer.
    • Before the adoption of carbon fibre composite, racquets were made of light metals such as aluminium.
    • Earlier still, racquets were made of wood.
  • Shuttlecock:
    • A shuttlecock (often abbreviated to shuttle; also called a birdie) is a high-drag projectile, with an open conical shape: the cone is formed from sixteen overlapping feathers embedded into a rounded cork base.
    • The cork is covered with thin leather or synthetic material.
    • Synthetic shuttles are often used by recreational players to reduce their costs as feathered shuttles break easily.
    • These nylon shuttles may be constructed with either natural cork or synthetic foam base and a plastic skirt.
