Malaysia : What shuttlecock to buy ?

**ERTHK** · 02-22-2011, 05:33 AM

My badminton team uses Protech Masterpiece, but I find the speed a little bit too fast & if you notice carefully, you will find that the cork material is a little bit hard & heavy. Probably because of that, the speed is much faster than Protech Championship (another model we tested before).

I actually prefer Protech Championship more than masterpiece, because of its more consistent flight path & not too heavy in terms of its cork material. Not to mention that it's also priced cheaper than masterpiece.

Sealion gold bagus...

i had used victor champion no.3 last week but the shuttle speed is slow... yet, the shuttle still suitable to be used in doubles game but not for single match... well, im looking for kx black ace 121 now.. my friend told me that the shuttle is quite durable and the price is affordable... any comment on the shuttle guys?

Last Sunday. My group tested Apacs Aero-Flight 800. It lasted about 2.5 games for 21points game and The flight speed was consistent thoughout all games. Total used 8 pcs for 3hrs session. Must try to grade it yourself.

I think this is worth of money.

It is just nice and durable. Can last at least 2 game (21 points with lots of smashing, and yet, still in a good condition.)

Protech Platinum Edition
Speed at 77
Price : RM 62.00

Dato A, have you tried Protech World Class? Believe it cost the same.

Last Saturday my uncle's group testing use Youhe Y200 shuttle,quite surprise that price get this quality and feeling. overall is a good shuttle in range of RM45,the speed a bit fast but acceptable,hit feeling is quick nice. 15 point rule just use 1 and half shuttle,another half can use next round ,durability better than RSL no.1 I think.

**samsudd_s** · 06-08-2011, 08:08 PM

bro et all, can someone post a pic of rcl platinum for my reference...i had searched in puchong but no shop selling this 'platinum'. only rcl black no.1/gold no.1/black silver/black gold/championship.

kkwm83, how do u find quality of black no.1 compare to platinum? i supposed price is about the same right?

**uwait** · 06-08-2011, 09:02 PM

RCL Platinum Gold is ok but there is 1 higher grade RCL Titanium Gold which is more durable.

**uwait** · 06-08-2011, 09:04 PM

Platinum Gold and Black NO.1 are of the same grade. There is a different model called Platinum which is of lower grade.

**avengers88** · 06-09-2011, 01:59 AM

I want a shuttle that will last at least 2 games with minimal smashing, my group plays alot of clears and drops only smash when there is opportunity. Which one would be good recommendation?

Platinum Gold's grade should be enough for you.
Most of my groups here are using RCL Titanium (which is at the same grade),
same style of playing, but still using the old 15pts system.
Shuttle can last from 1-2.5 games.
Previously there is a batch of shuttles having quality issue.
Maybe the one you had might be one of them.

You can try using RCL Titanium Gold, RCL Black Gold or RCL No.1 (same grade) which is selling around RM60-65 depends on places.

He is definitely much more familiar on RCL than me.
I will leave him to explain to you =)
Anyway, the order you put them (from 1 to 4) is from lower grade to higher.

The models in your list are all open models in Klang Valley. And two more popular open models are No.1 and Titanium (you can find them easily in North Malaysia). Regarding the price, I am not sure too because different shops selling at difference prices. But Gold No.1 is around RM55, Black No.1 around RM60, Black Silver RM60-65, Black Gold around RM65.
