Descripción
Game of ancient origins in which two people with small rackets bat shuttlecocks from one to the other as many times as possible without allowing it to fall to the ground. Similar games with a shuttlecock existed in ancient Greece about 2000 years ago, and were later found in India, China, and Siam. In Europe it has been a children's game for several centuries.
