Badminton is a racket sport which is extremely popular and very easy game to learn and fun to play at any level of ability. It is played using rackets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" and "doubles". Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity and formal games are played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are scored by striking the shuttlecock with the racket and landing it within the opposing side's half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. Play ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor or if a fault has been called by the umpire, service judge, or (in their absence) the opposing side. Like other racket sports, Badminton racket is generally made of different types of Materials. Most commonly used materials are Graphite, Aluminum, Boron and Kevlar or the Wood.

Squash is a game which is gaining rapidly in popularity. It is a relatively easy game to learn and fun to play at any level of ability. The equipment needed is also not very expensive. Learning to play squash is in some ways the same process as learning a foreign language. The skills are the basic vocabulary, while the drills and tactics form a grammatical framework to fit the strokes into the game. With a low level of skill it is possible to play a very enjoyable game with a partner of similar standard, but with higher levels the possibilities become almost endless and the whole game much more interesting. Squash Racket is generally made of different types of Materials. Most commonly used materials are Graphite, Aluminum, Boron and Kevlar or the Wood. The vast majority of rackets manufactured today use graphite in one form or another as the base ingredient. Graphite is remarkably strong for its relative light weight. It provides terrific power, as well as good control and feel...

Table Tennis ball shall be spherical in shape with a diameter of 40mm. The ball shall weigh 2.7 grams. The ball shall be made of celluloid or similar plastics material and shall be white or orange and matt. The international rules specify that the game is played with a sphere having a mass of 2.7 grams (0.095 Oz) and a diameter of 40 mm (1.57 in). The rules say that the ball shall bounce up 24–26 cm (9.4–10.2 in) when dropped from a height of 30.5 cm (12.0 in) onto a standard steel block thereby having a  coefficient of restitution  of 0.89 to 0.92. The choice of ball color is made according to the table color and its surroundings. For example, a white ball is easier to see on a green or blue table than it is on a grey table. Manufacturers often indicate the quality of the ball with a star rating system, usually from one to three, three being the highest grade. As this system is not standard across manufacturers, the only way a ball ma...

Volleyball is one of the most successful and popular competitive and recreational sports in the world. It is fast, it is exciting and the action is explosive. Yet volleyball com­prises several crucial overlapping elements whose complimentary interactions render it unique amongst rally games. The ball shall be spherical, made of a flexible leather or synthetic leather case with a bladder inside made of rubber or a similar material. Its colour may be a uniform light colour, or a combination of colours. Synthetic leather material and colour combinations of balls used in Inter­national Official competitions should comply with FIVB standards. Circumference of ball shall be 65-67 cm and its weight shall be 260-280 g. Inside Pressure shall be 0.30 to 0.325 kg/cm2 (4.26 to 4.61 psi) (294.3 to 318.82 mbar or hPa). All balls used in a match must have the same standards regarding circum­ference, weight, pressure, type, colour, etc. 

Tennis ball shall have a uniform outer surface consisting of a fabric cover and shall be white or yellow in colour. If there are any seams they shall be stitch less.

Tennis Racket is generally made of different types of Materials. Most commonly used materials are Graphite, Aluminum, Boron and Kevlar or the Wood. The vast majority of rackets manufactured today use graphite in one form or another as the base ingredient. Graphite is the technological generation’s equivalent of the trusty laminated wooden racket that was so popular until about the 1970s. Graphite is remarkably strong for its relative light weight. It provides terrific power, as well as good control and feel for the ball. But graphite is best in a composite mixture with any of the various thermoplastic and Fiberglass type resins used today. Boron and Kevlar are the two fibers resemble graphite, but boron and Kevlar are even lighter and stiffer than graphite. These materials are strong, enabling you to hit with a lot of power. But unless they are mixed with other materials, their stiffness can transmit a lot of shock and vibration to your arm and shoulder, especially if you don’t ...
