Abstract
Shuttlecocks serve as one of the necessary sporting equipment to play badminton. The standard Shuttlecock buckets sold on the market are equipped with a total of 12 Shuttlecocks and the bucket body is long, which makes it time-consuming to pick up and causes palmar flexion and other usage problems. In view of this, the two brand-new designed shuttlecock buckets are introduced. This research aims to compare traditional shuttlecock buckets with two kinds of new buckets in order to find out whether they can provide users with a better experience. The experiment was evaluated by measuring wrist flexion angle and user pickup time and adopting a subjective questionnaire. The result indicated that the two new designed buckets are superior to the traditional buckets due to that they can help reduce wrist flexion angle and improve ball pick up efficiency. All in all, this study helps manufacturers to design and produce more reasonable shuttlecock buckets as it provides a new perspective on shuttlecock buckets design.
