Hi guys,
I wanna buy a good set of badminton shuttlecocks..
But I dunno what brand is good..
Anyone can give me some guides on how to choose a good quality shuttlecock?
Last month I bought a dozen of Dunlop shuttlecocks at the price of rm26.90, but each time we play can use up to like 5-6 pieces...
It is not durable also... So guys i need ur helps

Hmm last time i use yonnex de. Not bad.

Try protech i think it is cheaper if your buy bulk from a sports store or the supplier.

sealion n rcl gold also not bad

depends on ur budget

RSL Silver, juz around rm35-40.

RSL is not so durable for my group....consists of nood girls...
Play few points not even 1 match already die

yonex the bomb !

imo, rsl official not bad oso...

hv been using it 4 a long time dy.. always bought it for rm33

erm.. TS r u new ?
if u are.. i wont b suggesting u to buy yonex.. mostly newbies hit feathers more den da head.. since yonex shuttles r expensive.. its a waste..
try sealion.. black n white 1 or protech masterpiece

if most player also newbie then use plastic cock, confirm durable.

My group use Protech Tournament, Yang Yang Victory (I think), Fleet and Victor. All of them are around RM 40+, standard price of many good mid-range shuttle.

This is what I think of them:

Yang Yang - good durability
Protech - overall good, less durable than Yang Yang though
Fleet - highest speed among the four, might overshoot it.
Victor - slower than Protech but same durability.

If you love durable shuttle, I suggest Yang Yang. If you want cheaper than Yang Yang shuttle, take Protech then. The price difference around RM 2-5 if i'm not mistaken.

At uni, we used Sea Lion but the durability is inconsistent IMHO. Don't know why...

Don't know about Yonex shuttle though because it's too damn expensive. But it's damn good especially the flight speed and feel. Sometimes we would "steal" one or two from the training group near our court. They use AS-30 or 40 if I'm not mistaken.

plastic is definately out la.. i rather take used shuttles rather den those.. they r meant 4 kids !!

hmm..
where can i find the supplier
and my budget is around rm30-40 also...
which 1 is more durable in the range of my budget ah??

white protech is Rm34.80 cheapest i ever get >.<
i duno bout others

Our group uses RSL Gold priced at RM42/dozen. Good durability and very consistent compared to RSL Silver or Official.

Rm42 for protech master better huh ?

how to differentiate between those 3 RSL? the shuttle box got written ka? coz the 1 im using isnt durable at all.

not only 3.. its 4.. green blue n orange.. 1 more i forgot d... theres is numbering on it.. no.1 to no.4

Where u get this at such good price? The place I went charged me Rm47 and the shopkeeper say best price liao. Should let her see this website.

Looks like this but with the word Gold written on it instead.

RSl Silver

RSL Official

RSL International Website

AFAIK most of the shops around Klang (Meru & Kapar) area sells RSL Gold for between RM 42 - RM 44. Not much more than that.
RSL Silver ~ RM 37 & RSL Official ~ RM 34.

Maybe because the company that imports them is based in Southern Park, Klang (address on shuttle container)

guys, wana ask any comment abt pro ace shuttlecock?

i tght there is touney 2-4 ?

My friends and i use the RSL gold....not bad lah....but recently the shuttle can only tahan for one match after that cannot pakai already.....Also, anyone in low yatt selling shuttle for cheap ?...Just wanna find out....

They have got heaps but Gold, Silver & Official are the more popular ones and hence easier to find in the local shops at my area. I don't buy the types that are not so popular since they'd be one the shelves longer and quality might have deteriorated over time.

but i c very little ppl using RSL.. usually they go for yonex, protech, and sealion. TS is no longer here d.. Thread close ?

so far RSL green and silver ok to me.

So far I would say ProAce is 1 of the Top quality shuttle. Especially the 1 display with Deep Blue colour Font and the White Colour background, I would say is very good and durable.

My comment about RSL shuttle is not that good when come to durable wise, somehow the ProAce shuttle I mention above got limited of stock, And according to tauke in Chang Siah store Bangsar those ProAce shuttle can easily get from Taman Megah badminton court only.

where's taman megah btw? wanna try 1 of those

Its at BATU 11 if not mistaken

really so good ar?

wana go buy one tube testing dy

Has anyone tried RCL badminton shuttlecocks before? It is popular in Penang.

This post has been edited by tomang: Nov 23 2007, 12:40 PM

i use protech black
sealion red not really durable

those rm40++or rm 60 for 1 box = sure high quality

not really lar ,sealion red also expensive ,but not so long lasting ,but protech is not bad ,currently using yonex aerosensa 30 ,not bad


but the price quite expensive ,now i plan chnge to rsl gold after yonex finish

true also. Some players tend to smash more frequently. There goes their shuttlecocks.

the shuttlecock i like the most ,which is cheap and affordable is RSL classic

not bad even shuttlecock u haf ur own preference.

hahahaha,play since i was standard 2 until now ,already more then 10 years lor

even not pro ,and normally play for fun only

lol me not tat good in badminton. Maybe its becuz my wrist hav no power. Need more training

Anyone know where can get cheap but durable shuttlecocks in Melaka?

RCL gold shuttlecock is durable...price around RM4X.XX... one shuttlecock can last about 4-5 games...
sealion that priced at RM3X.XX not durable...one shuttlecock for one game only....

Using Yonex rite now but really² regret buying it....only lasts for 2 games max...RCL gold that good ah?Gonna try it when finish with this carton...

got photo of the shutte carton?

i prefer RSL gold more durable but dun play wit noob who keep wasting ur RM4 in minutes lol nowadays gd shuttle become more exp =(

Last time when I was still in sukan teras training, the government sponsered us with free yonex aerosensa shuttlecocks. So you know.. I tapao some of them home after training. =)

I don't think they are that durable as Yonex claim they are. My coach complained how lousy they are when the feathers start to fall apart just by hitting base line to baseline strokes.
Too expensive for me to afford them anyway. 1 dozen of them already cost around RM70+.


Currently using Yang Yang's shuttlecock. Affordable for me. MSSM official shuttlecock.

personally prefer fast flying shuttlecocks.
Is SeaLion a good brand ?
dun really prefer yonex shuttlecocks btw....

yonex shuttlecock too expensive edi, cant really afford
protech not bad haha

Too fast not nice ler. When smash no sound de.

During the last competition that i joined, they used proace one. Not that good. Feathers come off very fast.

better use kx shuttlecocks black ace 121..cost of rm42...durability 1 set games or 1.5 games (how u play)
k.

wat if we compare the rest with sealion? the rm50+- per tube that one.... not sealion red..

Hi all, does anyone know where to get RSL gold shuttlecocks around Kepong or PJ areas? I have been searching many shops but just seems like it doesn't exist. Most probably I'm searching at the wrong places all the time, so can anyone help to guide me where to get it? Thanks so much.

Hi all, currently looking for good shuttlecocks..am .finding those which are more durable, affordable, and have good flight..any recommendations? and where can i get them? Thanks alot...

Actually the most durable shuttle is Yonex Aerosensa 40 (so far I had tried). I don't know what is the type of shuttle that be used in international tournament but I guess it's not far away from this regarding the quality. But it costs about 70-80 ringit. Yes it's costy but if you think you're a good player, you can go for it. A shuttle can last for at least 2 matches, if you're beginner then you're not recommended for this. Because beginner always cannot hit accurately on the head of the shuttle cock, once you hit the feather no matter how good is the shuttle it spoils.

Next should be ProAce. Cost around 50? Not sure...
Try on Yonex Aerosensa 30 if you're not beginner, it's cool too.
RSL Gold is quite durable but will becomes lighter in a short time. Means the shuttle speed becomes slower and slower. For me it can't satisfy my passion definitely...

You buy the cheap one, frequent change shuttle = consume more shuttles = use more money to fulfill demand. So what's the different you straight away buy expensive one, very durable = consume lesser shuttle per match = and the most important is you get the satisfaction

For me i Prefer RSL Tourney Classic , Second = SeaLion Gold , Third = SeaLion Black White (with Red writing on C1101)


RSL Gold. ok.. but play halfway, shuttle slow down. Cannot last 1 game.

This only point of view only.

ya.. rsl classic tourney is good.. its durable and flight is consistent. sealion also not bad.. not much complain... protech masterpiece has been bad recently...

actually not only protech masterpiece, its like their range shuttlecock really got problem.

is it? i only bought masterpiece all the while until recently change to rsl classic tourney and sometimes sealion black white

How much is the protech masterpiece now? How about the Sealion black white?

Thank you.

masterpiece RM50, sealion black/wite rm52, classic tourney rm50

Anyone tried Aerosensa 10??

RSL Tourney Classic shuttlecock offer value for your money(The black tabung one). Have been using it for a long time. Don't feel there's urgency to try others coz very satisfied with the shuttlecock. very durable and long lasting. Cost RM49 per dozen (obtained from a shop at bangsar...AJ racket mart Puchong also sells RM49)

sealion just nice for me.

bangsar which shop?
i bought only RM48 at ah lee

Don't buy Yonex Aerosensa 10. If you really want to use Yonex then go for Aerosensa 30...

can i noe in kajang whr can get the badminton traning /lesson????

try protech (masterpiece).. emm not bad la..

Hmmm...I'm gonna try this shuttle soon then, since many here recommends it.

i think i've tried proace (green/white tube??)
not very durable.. with a few smashes, the feathers are everywhere..

if i've not missed out any of the posts.. recommended brand of shuttlecock are ProTech and RSL?

dunno why.. nowadays very hard to find places selling Yonex shuttles..

usually i just use sealion. Tried various brands but not as good for the same price range

RSL OK...YONEX OK...

nothing much to comment, but if u are beginners i seriously suggest Yonex Plastix shuttlecocks. Very very good durability, it flies normal speed also. The FEEL only slightly diff, but speed and range wise its the same, its cheap too haha...

Yonex shuttle if u all din notice naik harga again lor...maaaaaaan...

For me this batch of ProTech Masterpiece is good dunno whether next bath same felling arnot lar
RSL gold dam slow when play for more than 1 game
I buy my shuttles at AJ

Don't buy RSL la, last not long....Last time still okay now getting poor.

Go for Protech Masterpiece or the other...named...Championship? Forgot. Quite okay...Last quite long, with hard smash whole game can last 2 matches

come come our group try KX now!

Basically, there is no brand that remained durable for a consistent long period. The durability of a shuttle is all down to the batch the shuttle is produced. Certain brand will be more durable when the feather is good. Generally goose feather is better then duck feather. For cheaper option, try FLEET, Kx, or Pro-Tech. Aeroplane brand from China is very good for professional play.

You can try to steam the shuttle to increase the durability. Google it and you will find how to do it.

i think steam shuttles are for country's like australia, us etc etc, cause its very dry there i was at melbourne my lips cracked i had to use lip bum

how RSL Tourney? is it good ar?

My previous comment:

then any recommendation? protech champoinship grade?

Many ppl use protech masterpiece including me but i personally think its quite expensive.RM55/ tube.

ya wei i sold a few rsls to people and they complain

dont ever buy rsl i bought alot last time than i switched to masterpiece now im thinking to switch to KX

Yonex shuttlecock juz increased price..

protech & RSL not bad...

my group now playing with Protech Masterpiece & RSL Tourey Classic..
both oso around RM50-52/dozen...

as far as i know, RSL Tourey Classic shuttlecocks are used in few major competition.. n v r very satisfied with it so far...

RSL Tourey Classic..Never tried that, only tried Gold and Silver...

Yonex rubber made shuttle is not bad. Despite a bit heavier than regular shuttle, its speed is quite standard.
