| 2.1 |
The shuttle shall be made from natural and/or
synthetic materials. From whatever material the shuttle is made,
the flight characteristics generally shall be similar to those
produced by a natural feathered shuttle with a cork base covered
by a thin layer of leather. |
| 2.2 |
The shuttle shall have 16 feathers fixed in the base.
|
| 2.3 |
The feathers shall have a uniform length between
62 mm to 70 mm when measured from the tip to the top of the
base. |
| 2.4 |
The tips of the feathers shall lie on a circle
with a diameter from 58 mm to 68 mm. |
| 2.5 |
The feathers shall be fastened firmly with thread
or other suitable material. |
| 2.6 |
The base shall be 25 mm to 28 mm in diameter and
rounded on the bottom. |
| 2.7 |
The shuttle shall weigh from 4.74 to 5.50 grams.

Non-Feathered Shuttle
|
| |
2.8.1 |
The skirt, or simulation of feathers in synthetic
materials, replaces natural feathers. |
| |
2.8.2 |
The base is described in Law 2.6. |
| |
2.8.3 |
Measurements and weight shall be as in Laws 2.3,
2.4 and 2.7. However, because of the difference in the specific
gravity and other properties of synthetic materials in comparison
with feathers, a variation of up to 10 per cent is acceptable. |
| 2.9 |
Subject to there being no variation in the general
design, speed and flight of the shuttle, modifications in the
above specifications may be made with the approval of the Member
Association concerned, in places where atmospheric conditions
due to either altitude or climate make the standard shuttle
unsuitable. |
