From this month, Babolat has been supplying shuttlecocks for all domestic tournaments and circuit events for juniors, seniors and masters, including the National Schools Championships. Badminton England said Babolat was making a large-scale investment in the grassroots development of badminton and getting strongly involved at community level, through competitions that are played by almost one million people every month.
