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
This is absolutely refreshing! Nothing like the CD analysis of the past. Good work mate and let's have five beers!!!
