Probably in yrs: BWF Secretary General on use of synthetic shuttlecocks at big events

When asked when synthetic shuttlecocks could be used in elite competitions, BWF Secretary General Thomas Lund said, "Probably not tomorrow, but within the foreseeable future, not in months, but probably in years." "We are getting there," he added. In April, the BWF announced it would begin testing synthetic shuttlecocks in live international senior competitions, initially at Grade 3 level.
