Overview
Archive NoteThe test used a Yonex NANOFLARE 1000 Z racket and an ultra-high-speed camera system capable of up to 40,000 exposures per second to measure shuttlecock motion at impact.
Aerodynamic drag slows a shuttlecock rapidly after it leaves the racket. The 565 km/h result is an initial test speed, not a claim about an official competition rally.
