i am on a hunt for affordable birds. ive used aeroplane green and black, dna orange and yellow, as30, as50, wilson topline black, aeroclub is DNA/D&A yellow for $16 worth it? i heard they use the same feathers as victor birds but ive never used victor ones so i dont know. i dont need the very best, but just something that flies well and is durable please let me know your opinions if possible, tell me the website i can order from (i live in CA, USA)
Have never tried Victor's shuttles but the contact in TW has them in cases of 30 tubes at pretty good prices including shipping.
In general, Victors fly well but not very durable. RSL series all use synthetic head material and not very durable either. For $20, I may pick Chaopai Red for durability at the moment. Aeroplane Black was great value but recent batch are not so good due to the change to synthetic head. DNA yellow is not bad at $16. There used to be a HIQUA purple that was great value for middle grade shuttlecock, but not sure how good it is now. It may be still available at hiquasports.com. If you get a chance to try it, post a feedback please.
