Sources of Error
Although this experiment was mostly successfull, there were errors committed that could have been fixed:
-camera positioning causing limits in what could be seen (full path trajectory of birdie was limited), angle of positioning created some issues in Logger Pro plotting, and quality of camera was not perfect
-Plotting in Logger Pro was inaccurate sometimes due to limited vision (racquet going behind the body, etc.) and unclear images
-Dartfish plotting may have been inaccurate due to unclear imaging
-human error
-Birdie may have not been in perfect shape

Conclusion
Experimentally
-hypothesis for drop was correct, while smash and clear were not
-clear does not require as much velocity in the swing as smash
-smash requires the most velocity, drop least, clear medium
-velocity used to enhance shots, while point of impact is important in making shots
Physics Behind
-aerodynamics in design of birdie and in rallies
-Newton's 1st and 3rd Law of Motion in rallies
-Kinetic Energy and Gravitational Potential Energy in rallies
-Velocity in rallies
-tension in the racquet
-momentum in the swing of the racquet to counter drag
International
-all swings are somewhat similar, nationality does not limit swing style
-swings will depend upon the person
-results of shots are the same
