    Using a tennis racquet, I wonder how much force is required to clear that big shuttle from end to end? :eek: hee hee hee

    Cheers!

    forget a tennis racket, i think a tennis racket would break before it could clear that thing. but there is a huge tennis racket that my boss has that could probably hit it.

    1. I guess u got the idea from Kwun's wedding pic? :D

    2. Play as a volleyball might be too slow, might be a better suit for water polo, I think. :rolleyes:

    Giant Shuttle At Last Year's Singapore Open

    I took this picture last year at the Singapore Open. It was held in our Singapore Indoor Stadium, certainly a very comfortable place for spectators, with aircon and soft seats. The bird is really gigantic! :D
