You often hear of the many complicated descriptions on how to differentiate between the type of feathers used on a shuttlecock.
Worry no more - the following picture is worth a thousand words!
For the newbies:-
Duck feathers are used for lower quality shuttlecocks eg training, etc.
Basically thicker stem with shorter, wider and thicker "featherspan" (alike term wingspan)
Goose feather shuttlecocks are used to manufacture the tournament grade shuttlecocks.
Longer and thinner stem with narrower, longer and finer "featherspan".
