    Dear all

    Anyone know where can I get black shuttlecocks here in KL?
    What brand is it, and how much does it cost?

    Is there even such a thing as black shuttlecocks?
    How different it is from your normal white shuttles?
    What is it primarily used for?

    I just thought of trying playing with it - at least once :)

    Thanks
    Dillon

    Thanks again.

    I've just seen a brand of shuttle called black shuttlecocksIt was black on the tube cover. Costs rm 40 a tube. Only reason I didn't buy is the 76 speed rating :p
