I'm just wondering why the research I've made said that the shuttle cock's feather comes from the left wing of a goose, is it possible to use the feather from the right wing? is there an effect in the trajectory performance of the shuttle cock if the feather comes from the right wing?

From what I have been able to find on the subject, the shuttle cock must have all the feathers from the same wing of the bird in order for it to spin correctly to stabilize in flight. Since all feathers must come from the same wing, someone at some time decided to use feathers from the left wing. i suppose they could have selected the right wing just as well but they had to select all their feathers from either the left or the right and somehow the left was selected.

G'day Inquisitive Mind,
Thank you for your question.
I haven't seen material on the feathers on a birdie coming from a particular wing. However, the feathers are overlapping presumably for aerodynamic reasons. Badminton players consider that the shuttlec.o.c.k is much better with feathers than plastic.
Regards
