Birdy tubes everywhere!!!

I kept 1-2 spare empty tubes to collect 2nd used birds on court. Some of them are still useable for drill / warm up.

 

I put pencils and pens in some of mine

 

same.. but i only keep 1 tube.

 

I use them for shipping unfoldable documents or 8x10 pictures

 

at big tournaments i've seen people use them as "clappers." they bang two together and it makes a really loud noise. at last years pan am classic, the US team and the Peruvian team got into a birdie tube clashing match. it was great.

i also use them to collect birds that are used from one of the clubs i play in our when i'm at a tournament. (and they say i can have them of course)

 

In one tournament, saw some ppl using the tube as "extra attachable weight" for warm up.

They cut the tube vertically, attached it with tape on around the T-joint (up to half of the head height). I saw ppl swing this monster on the court side, and guess that might be a way to speed up the "warm up" process for wrist, arm, shoulder, etc. I think it's the same theory as using a tennis racket to warm up.

Remind me about the baseball players, when they are waiting to bat, they attach the extra weight on their bats and swing off the field.

 

yea my coach glues like 3 or 4 of them vertically together and used it as a bird feeder

 

flower vases, decoratively lamp shades, back massagers, the possibility is endless.

 

Or, as a weapon !!
I can use it to swing at people's face without any problem!!

 

i use it to roll my foot on it.. very comfy and relaxing after the long strenous hard games that really takes a toll on your foot.
