--Fly
The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose unique
aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently than the balls used
in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more
rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when
compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected
by wind, competitive badminton is played indoors. Badminton is also
played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or
beach game.--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton
