Static friction is the force that is keeping this badminton racket from slipping out of the player's hand.
The tail on this badminton shuttlecock helps to increase drag, and it does not let it twirl uncontrollably. In free fall, it would accelerate at 9.8 m/s^2.
Kenichi Tago, a legendary badminton player, is sure to hit the shuttlecock with a great force, thus, guaranteeing a great acceleration.
These are specially made badminton shoes; they help to increase static and sliding friction.
