it is a let if, during play, the shuttle disintegrates and the base completely separates from the rest of the shuttle

what if merely one or two feathers disintegrated and caused the shuttle to behave abnormally during a rally? is it still a let?

Tough luck, but no.
It's a let for the cork, because you're REQUIRED to hit the cork.

Sigh! it does happen quite often, i think it should be a let. Hope that one day the rule will change to look into this.

only when you serve, and then the initial contact has to be with the cork.

That's legally ;P

I'm referring to requirements of technique. Even slicing the shuttle will hit the cork. :P

Fine, fine... I'll rephrase that.. without cork, you have no usable flight, due to lack of weight, hence you're not allowing the opposing player to return at all.
