    For those using OCBC Tournament shuttles, how do they compare to say Yonex AS-20, AS-30 and AS-50.

    For those that don't know, OCBC is a club in OC, CA and they only allow players to use either OCBC or Yonex shuttles. For this reason, I cannot use other brands that might be good (Gosen, Alpha, Aeroplane, Sea Lion)....

    I was wondering if I should just stick to OCBC or change to something better...

    Thanks

    i watched several tournements at OCBC but i have never played there. It's ashame that you have to use their shuttles. Great marketing strategies that have kept me away. :) Great venue though.

    yup... I agree... great place to play badminton....
    at least they are giving us the choice of using Yonex shuttles...
    I think they have some sort of deal going on with Yonex... everything they sell there is from Yonex... no other brands...
    Oh well...
    Anyone knows where I can get a good deal on Yonex shuttles...
    the cheapest I found was $21USD for Yonex AS-50 and $19USD for Yonex AS-30...

    I believe OCBC is the national team training facility, and the team is sponsored by Yonex. Therefore...
