Shuttles
Shuttles cost money and should be treated with respect on and off the court. Feather shuttles in particular should be handled with care. Please try not to stand on the shuttles or hit a shuttle across the floor as a means of returning the shuttle. If you are knocking up prior to a game, always select a used shuttle switching to a 'good' one for play.
