Coloured shuttlecock

[Kenny]

Anybody think of change shuttlecock colour instead of always in white.
It is difficult to see the shuttlecock flying with white and bright background.
The Red and Green colours are easier to read like traffic lights.
The shuttlecock manufactory can produce other choice of shuttlecock
colour to increase sales.

Not every gym has white walls and ceilings, although where I play does. I think that badminton-only facilities usually have dark-green walls, so the white shuttles can be seen.

[cooler]

yah, the chinese farmers should raise some black feathered goose or duck

[sam]

or feed them radioactive feeds. then we'll have glow-in-the-dark shuttles. ;-)

[May]

no, it's not gonna work tt way, u need radioactive paints. but it ain't gonna be a gud idea coz shuttles will be heavier and we will haf all the players dying of cancer or radiation sickness, and their kids will prolly be deformed too.

Yeah. It irritating sometimes to see the shuttle flying thru mid-air. Then u look up....glaring lights/white ceiling. The nxt moment, the shuttle is on the ground. hell. they should have black shuttles like cooler said but all in all, i still prefer the traditional white feathers since blk is a little "off".

Have you tried HQ Chester?

Yep, Chester shuttles are basically select HQ Reds. Good shuttles.

Felt tip pen guys. Colour the tip not the feathers though. Probably best to get one speed down from your normals if your going to do this though as it alters flight weight slightly.

wonder if they have glow in the dark shuttles just in case the lights dont work so well

The thing is though, how'd you see the lines (How in the world to make line calls?)? Or your partner (OW!)?

Anyways, I know Black Knight has yellow ones, but they fly a lot slower. Anyways, I have tried the marker thing before, it works, but if you don't let it dry fast enough, it'll end up like the Yonex stencil ink: staining. Some person had fairly fresh stencil ink on their racket, it got onto the birdie which we were playing with, and I ended up with unsightly stains on my strings. They went away after a week or two, but yeah...be careful.


Also, I really wouldn't recommend anything radioactive...:p

You can get Hi-Qua Blue in yellow and a blue/green color.

I use the blue colored shuttles for my annual tournament.

I rem I used to buy Finnex Yellow shuttles (in 2002-2003) from Wong Shoon Keat's shop inside SBH. They were the highest grade model and were pretty good!

[Lobber]

Used before apacs black coloured shuttles before.It quite decent although the feather come off easily and the speed is a little slower
