    Hello. I am wondering if any fellow BC/BFers have any experience with Gosen's feather shuttles? The search function didn't return anything useful.

    FYI, here's a link to Gosen's feather shuttles:

    We tried Gosen S-200 Gold. With a deal around US$14 per tube, I think it's a good deal. The fly is nice and consistent, and it's durable. Usually, a brand new shuttle can last 1 or even more than an intensive double game.

    Not any worse than Aeroplane G1130ss or HL Champion.

    Hey Traum,

    Are you thinking of getting some Gosen shuttles? Let me know if you do because I'd like to see how they actually are. I'm looking for an inexpensive shuttle that flies well, and the last set I used (Hi-Qua Blue w/ Green feathers) was really bad. The weight of the feathers compared to the cork was really off...

    I have used Gosen white. It flies farther than a HL Champion, but it feels quite solid. Gosen products are very popular in my community, and they are really good.

    I've been using Gosen Green for the Last few years. Personally think they are the best shuttles at that price range. They are nearly as good as the gold, but cheaper.

    The gold is like a tournament grade shuttle, so expect it to give you a near perfect flight, and good durability. Its one of the best shuttles around. The only shuttle better that I've used is Snowpeak Superior Grade, but these seem to be quite hard to get hold of.

    Can you guys tell me how much you bought your tubes for? I'm curious how the price compares to other places.

    White S250: USD $11.00
    Gold S200: USD $13.75

    White S250: USD $11.50 (10 for $110)
    Gold S200: USD $13.75


    Don't know whether it's worthy to ship to CAN or not. In us, Badminton.net is a little bit cheaper in S&H for large orders.
