Are you a badminton champion?  Or are you more interested in cattle?

I'm more of a badminton person myself. I like the speed - shuttlecocks have a higher speed than many balls in other similar sports.

However, they always run out of feathers by the time I'm done playing a set.

True enough. Some poor rooster lost it's feathers twice! Mind you, it also resembles the shuttle of a loom, which is how it got its name.

I didn't know that.  I'm not a scholar, just a pro badminton player so the history is over my head.  Definitely superior to tennis, but less intense than squash.
