shuttlecocks ive used so far and their rankings:

1. protech world class (very good durability and flight consistency. can easily last 2-3 sets each shuttle)
2. rcl pearl/platinum gold/rsl classic tourney (bit lower durability but still good consistency. 2 sets maximum per shuttle)
3. protech masterpiece/rsl gold (durabilty is not consistent. some are good while others can be very poor. one shuttle usually last 1-1.5 set and seldom finish the 2nd set. flight consistency is good though. rsl gold is the better choice since it is cheaper)
4. wecan red/rsl silver (the wecan have good durabilty and better than rsl silver and even masterpiece. can last 2 sets per shuttle but poor flight consistency)

Anyone knows what is the 2012 Official retail price for Aerosensa 30/40/50?

I heard it jumped this year due to lousy rm-yen exchange rate

**uwait** · 10-12-2012, 11:22 PM

Yonex sort of like always increasing the price. I have to say I hate Sunrise (Yonex distributor) for keeping increasing the price of Yonex string, they are like monopoly in this market. But nothing much I can do..coz Yonex string is still one of the best in the market.

But for shuttles, there are a few shuttles out there as good as their AS30 with cheaper price.

Example, RCL Black Silver.

Sealion white and gold, same.

The seller claim that white speed is fastest than gold. That all.

But I don't feel any diff.

SeaLion can last 2 games where feather getting soft and broken.

Protect World Class, proven can really last longer. 7 games [2 hours] only use 2.5 shuttles.
The first 2 shuttles feather still intact just that getting soft but flying still ok. Keep it for next warming.
Each shuttle can last for 2.5 to 3 games. 3rd shuttle i keep it for next round.

No more RSL GOLD and SeaLion unless no choice.

Almost all shuttlecocks will have different quality depending on batches. A shop owner told me that it depends on the season or weather. When it is dry season, the quality tends to drop.

As for me, no longer going to Protech Masterpiece. The quality really sucks nowadays. As for world class, my group said that it is heavier and faster flight compared to the rest hence they do not prefer it as well... Protech Platinum is good and lasting but price above RM60...

Changing to RSL Classic and it is good... but also has batch quality problem.

Tried Kumpoo Match Point 88 and 99. I can say both also have the same kind of problem, which the feathers tend to come off easily (not the stem) and the feathers with the stem will get soft and out of shape easily... not going back to this.

Have any one of u tried Proace AT-85.
i noticed its quite durable too. but the speed is abit fast.

**ChongHL** · 11-12-2012, 02:31 AM

This remind me what Paul Stewart had mention before.

Those cheapo shuttle may too slow.

I agree that World Class a bit heavier but think about it again, I can feel the shuttle and with better control.

Light shuttle sometime too slippery. Normally those made by Duck feather and not durable.

**davlee** · 11-12-2012, 02:45 AM

The prob my group has with the World Class shuttles are not only they are heavier, they also fly faster and out of court easier, due to the extra weight. I am comparing with the likes of RSL Classic and even Yonex AS40... Anyhow, that is my group's personal preference. No hard feelings...
