Battledore and Shuttlecock

Two players stand a short distance apart, each holding a battledore.

One player taps the shuttlecock into the air toward their partner using the paddle's flat face.

The receiving player hits it back before it touches the ground, keeping it aloft.

Players count aloud together each successful hit that keeps the shuttlecock in play.

There is no net, court, or scoring against an opponent; the rally simply ends when the shuttlecock is dropped or mishit.

Reset with a fresh tap-up and try to beat the previous rally's count.
