The chiral nature of a badminton shuttlecock is responsible for itsanti-clockwise spinning as it naturally propagates through the air. Thisinduces a dissymmetry between left-handed and right-handed players and theresulting trajectories of the shuttlecock, which were captured in realcondition on the badminton court and in slow-motion at 3700 fps. The videosclearly evidence this dissymmetry as slice shots performed by rightiesaccelerate the natural anti-clockwise spinning, while the one performed bylefties induces a clockwise to anti-clockwise spinning, making trajectories ofshuttlecocks different. The slow-motion videos also caught a brief Magnuseffect, often neglected in badminton, lifting up the shuttlecock for bothlefties and righties and affecting the effectiveness of the slice shot.
