Picking shuttlecock with racket

[issarakaya]

I did it everytime i play.....too lazy to pick it up with my hand wkwkwkwkkwkwk

I alway use my racket to scoop and i have never ever have any paint chip from that. You don't need to use strength to pick it up so how did u manage to scratch it? I mean literally, the result of framing ur shot is bigger than just picking up shuttlecock. However, do be careful of what surface you are playing on. I play on parquet floor or rubber court. I do not pick up shuttle with racket on cement floor as it will really result in terrible paint chip. Just my observation

[!¿Clue?!]

It's just human nature for me when playing...too lazy to either pick it up myself, or just scoop it over the net to give to the opponent
Never encountered a paint chip when picking up the birdie though...

I do pick up the shuttlecock with the racquet. It's not hard.
