Subhas Das of Nagaon invented a
‘badminton stroke practicing machine’ which consists of an iron frame
covered with a belt having small pockets to hold shuttles is mounted. A
motor powers the belt. These pockets hold the shuttlecock, which, drop
one after another. The machine assists a player to practice and develop
skills without requiring him to pick up the shuttles repeatedly and hence,
helps in focused practice sessions. The machine also caters to the need
of having a trainer or another player to initiate practice. Moreover, due
to dropping the shuttles at regular interval, it saves time and enhances
interest in the game. In the year 2005, this product appeared in the
market for the first time.
