Mavis 350 vs Mavis 2000

**ioxyg3n520** · 02-05-2012, 06:16 PM

Hi. I am planning to buy a new tube of shuttlecocks for mysef for the first time. (I always used to use other people's) Well I came across the mavis 350 and mavis 2000 and I was just wondering which ones are better and why?

Thanks!

2000's are better

slightly better feel, hence touch shots are easier to do

able to slice more due to the skirt design that sticks out as on feather birds

lasts a bit longer, flight remains unchanged despite visible wear

but nothing beats good feather birds

which color do you guys usually play? Green or Blue?

Blue for the temperatures we play in: 12-23C.

IME the M2000's feather "tips" are the first bits to deform (outwards), and they're a lot weaker than the contiguous top of a 300/350. Thus, the M2000 will lose speed faster.

I am playing Mavis 300 and 350 green, and it is good. Should i change it to Mavis 2000 blue, is it too fast?

Is blue cap too fast? I am playing green now, it feels good.

try this forum, it's got info on which type of speed is best for an area:

But in the end though it's down to personal perference

I would recommend you use 300's. 2000's are okay, but I absolutely hate 350's. If you have you use 350 because it's slower, you're better off just using cheap feathers.
