In fact, according to the club’s website and numerous other badminton sites, the shuttlecock—which can travel at speeds up to 200 mph—is the second-fastest-moving object in sports behind the jai-alai ball. “Bad,” as O’Connor and her teammates call it, is a game of nuance, strategy and superhuman agility, played most competitively in Southeast Asia and Denmark. Badminton was first observed by British army personnel in occupied...
