Science behind the perfect conker - and why bigger isn't always better
Briefly

The iconic game of conkers, rooted in British culture for 200 years, emphasizes that smaller conkers can be more advantageous due to their structural integrity.
Chris Quigley, co-founder of Peckham Conker Club, suggests that the compact size of smaller conkers gives them greater density, making them less likely to break.

While many players believe that size leads to power in conker play, it's actually the structural integrity of the conker that determines success.
