    Hi, I am a recent convert to badminton, and got very interested in the physics of the game. I heard about the effect of local weather conditions, and decided to do a "scientific" analysis on the effect of temperature, humidity and altitude on the trajectory of a shuttlecock for a few commonly used shots. (I myself line in Bangalore, India, which is at an altitude of 3021 feet above sea level). I have created a draft paper, and would very much appreciate any feedback on it. The URL of the paper is http://www.fernsparadise.org/files/shuttle_trajectory.pdf Note: Some knowledge of physics and math may be required Regards rags2riches
