How to extend the life and durability of badminton shuttlecocks
How to extend the life and
durability of badminton shuttlecocks
In
order to extend the life of badminton shuttlecocks on a daily basis, the most
important thing is keep them away from extreme heat which can cause the
feathers to become brittle. You should always make sure that the shuttlecocks are
stored at or below room temperature. A bad habit people don’t seem to realize is
leaving the shuttlecocks in the car after opening them, inside the car it can
get very dry which causes the shuttles to break much quicker than they should.
Along
with the storage of badminton shuttles, there are also a few tips to help them
last much longer during games and could save you a lot of money in the long
run.
The most
common and fastest way which players prepare their shuttlecocks before a
tournament is steaming. There are multiple ways to create the steam needed for
humidifying the shuttlecock. The easiest method is to boil water and hold the
shuttlecock directly above so it can absorb the steam without completely
wetting it.
A simple
tip is remember moisture is always shuttlecock’s best friend~

My favourite basketball team and players
My Favorite Basketball Team and Basketball Player
My Favorite Team
Miami Heat is my favorite basketball team because my favorite basketball player, LeBron James, is playing for Miami.The Miami Heat are a professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida, United States. The team is a member of the Southeast Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association(NBA). They play their home games at American Airlines Arena in Downtown Miami. The team owner is Micky Arison, the general manager is Pat Riley and the head coach is Erik Spoelstra. The mascot of the team is Burnie, an anthropomorphic fireball.
The Heat were formed in 1988 as an expansion franchise. Alongwith the Orlando Magic, the Heat are one of the two NBA franchises that represent the state of Florida. Since entering the league, Miami has fielded squad that have made the playoffs 16 out of 24 seasons, capturing nine divisong titles, three Eastern Conference Championships, and two NBA Championships, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 4-2 in the 2006 NBA Finals and the Oklahoma City Thunder 4-1 in the 2012 NBA Finals.According to Forbes Magazine, in 2010 the value of the franchise was about $425 million.
The Heat did not perform well in the following seasons after they won the 2006 NBA Championships. However, the Heat rebuilt in 2010-2011 season. Entering the 2010-2011 season with nearly $48 million in salary cap space, the Heat caused a major power shift during the blockbuster 2010 NBA Free Agency, adding Chris Bosh and LeBron James with local superstar Dwyane Wade, whom they had re-signed to a six-year, $107.59 million contract. During his infamous Decision, broadcast on ESPN, James announced he would take his "talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat", which triggered a volatile fusillade of anger, primarily from Cleveland where he used to play for. And Cavaliers' owner Dan Gilbert released an over-the-top letter that reeked of bitternesss, as he claimed that Cleveland would win a championship before James would. But one year later, James helped Miami won the team's second and his first NBA Championships in 2012 !
