Tips! How to Steam Old Shuttlecocks to Improve Durability and Stability.

If you find that your shuttlecocks have been stored in a cold and dry environment for a long time, steaming them can help improve their durability and stability. Here's how to do it:

• What you need: A humidifier and a shuttlecock tube.
• Step 1: One day before playing, remove both lids from the shuttlecock tube.
• Step 2: Place the tube on top of a humidifier, and wait for the steam to enter the tube. Leave the shuttlecocks to steam for 2-5 minutes.
• Step 3: After steaming, put the lids back on both ends of the tube to keep the shuttlecocks moist.

By following these steps, you can help extend the lifespan of your shuttlecocks and ensure they perform at their best during your games.
