SQUASH BALLS

|
Black Knight squash balls
are manufactured in England to meet or exceed the standards
set by the World Squash Federation, and have been selected
for numerous tournaments up to the professional level.
The Black Knight squash ball is available in two speeds,
indicated by the dot markings on the balls. A blue dot
indicates the fastest speed, recommended for novice
players or play on very cold courts. A single yellow
dot indicates the medium speed - these are the most
widely used in North America.

Shuttlecocks
|
|
Whether played with nylon
or feather birds, the game of badminton is defined by
the unique flight characteristics of the rapidly spinning
and rapidly decelerating shuttlecock. Black Knight manufactures
nylon and feather shuttlecocks, both to the highest
possible standard. In fact, Black Knight feather shuttlecocks
were used in the 1999 Canada Winter Games and are used
in numerous top tournaments throughout Canada. Black
Knight nylon shuttlecocks have official status with
several provincial badminton associations. The term
"speed" refers to how far a shuttlecock will
travel when struck with a standard force, "further"
being considered "faster". Due to differences
of air resistance related to altitude, humidity and
temperature, the same shuttlecock will have a different
"speed" at different locations. At Black Knight
we refer to the speeds as follows:

| This
revolutionary shuttlecock allows players to adjust the speed
easily without damage (patent pending). Each Control 2000
shuttlecock initially flies at the "Vancouver"
standard speed, but incorporates 3 precisely weighted tapes
around the cork. Players can reduce the speed by up to two
feet (in 8 inch stages), by removing the tapes, or can increase
the speed by adding tapes. The tapes have no effect on performance,
only on speed. This adjustment can be made as necessary
at the start of play, or later during play if the bird has
become too fast. With its rapid spin and precise flight,
the Control 2000 is an all around excellent performer, whether
playing delicate shots at the net, or smashing with full
force. |
